The Physcomitrella Genome Reveals Evolutionary Insights into the Conquest of Land by Plants
TLDR
This comparison reveals genomic changes concomitant with the evolutionary movement to land, including a general increase in gene family complexity; loss of genes associated with aquatic environments; acquisition of genes for tolerating terrestrial stresses; and the development of the auxin and abscisic acid signaling pathways for coordinating multicellular growth and dehydration response.

PlnTFDB: updated content and new features of the plant transcription factor database
TLDR
The Plant Transcription Factor Database (PlnTFDB) is an integrative database that provides putatively complete sets of transcription factors and other transcriptional regulators in plant species whose genomes have been completely sequenced and annotated.

The Ectocarpus genome and the independent evolution of multicellularity in brown algae
TLDR
The Ectocarpus genome sequence represents an important step towards developing this organism as a model species, providing the possibility to combine genomic and genetic approaches to explore these and other aspects of brown algal biology further.

The Selaginella Genome Identifies Genetic Changes Associated with the Evolution of Vascular Plants
TLDR
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.

The WUS homeobox-containing (WOX) protein family
TLDR
The analysis of WOX gene expression and function shows that WOX family members fulfill specialized functions in key developmental processes in plants, such as embryonic patterning, stem-cell maintenance and organ formation.

Genomic Analysis of Organismal Complexity in the Multicellular Green Alga Volvox carteri
TLDR
Analysis of the Volvox genome and predicted proteome shows that increases in organismal complexity can be associated with modifications of lineage-specific proteins rather than large-scale invention of protein-coding capacity.

Genome of an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus provides insight into the oldest plant symbiosis
TLDR
The genome of Rhizophagus irregularis provides insight into genes involved in obligate biotrophy and mycorrhizal symbioses and the evolution of an ancient asexual organism, and is of fundamental importance to the field of genome evolution.

TLDR
It is found that large expansions of gene families preceded the origins of green plants, land plants and vascular plants, whereas whole-genome duplications are inferred to have occurred repeatedly throughout the evolution of flowering plants and ferns.

Genetic evaluation of fertility traits of dairy cattle using a multiple-trait animal model.
TLDR
Fertility EBV were correlated unfavorably with EBV of milk production traits but favorably with udder health and longevity, integrating fertility traits into a total merit selection index can halt or reverse the decline of fertility and improve the longevity of dairy cattle.
