TL;DR: The genome size of the hot pepper was approximately fourfold larger than that of its close relative tomato, and the genome showed an accumulation of Gypsy and Caulimoviridae family elements.

TL;DR: The genome sequence of the lycophyte Selaginella moellendorffii (Selaginella), the first nonseed vascular plant genome reported, is reported, finding that the transition from a gametophytes- to a sporophyte-dominated life cycle required far fewer new genes than the Transition from a non Seed vascular to a flowering plant.

TL;DR: A high-quality genome assembly of the parents of the IL population of S. pennellii is described, defining candidate genes for stress tolerance and providing evidence that transposable elements had a role in the evolution of these traits.

TL;DR: A methodology that enables the occurrence of cell-wall glycans to be systematically mapped throughout plants in a semi-quantitative high-throughput fashion is described and the potential of CoMPP as a component of systems-based approaches to cell- wall biology is demonstrated.

TL;DR: Examination of gene diversity and evolution within the Charophycean green algae could help reveal when and how the molecular pathways required for synthesis of key structural polymers in land plants arose.
