Take your sunscreen: plant photoreceptor systems in Serritaenia testaceovaginata

Abstract: Light is undoubtedly the most important physical resource for plant life. As light in the environment always comes in the form of sunlight, its spectrum also includes a certain amount of potentially harmful UV light. Based on a comparative transcriptome analysis, Busch et al. (2024) investigated how gene expression in the green alga Serritaenia testaceovaginata responds to moderate UV radiation. The results revealed the presence of a conserved, plant-like system for UV perception and signal transduction, and components of all major plant photoreceptor systems. This suggests that embryophyte adaptations to light conditions on land may not so much rely on fundamentally new components but rather on the adaptation of the core system that was present in the last common ancestor of today’s land plants and streptophyte algae
