If you’ve always been curious about how algae fix carbon, @phaips.vd.st, @cellarchlab.com and I have put together the quickest route into pyrenoids. And if you don’t feel like reading at all, we have an accompanying poster doi.org/10.1242/jcs....

These little oases are entirely dependent on rainfall. The quillworts that live here have adapted by shortening their life cycle and shifting their growing season to winter and spring. Their spores mature in early summer as the pools dry out and plants enter dormancy.
