Klionsky, D. J.; Abdel-Aziz, A. K.; Abdelfatah, S.; Abdellatif, M.; Abdoli, A.; Abel, S.; Naumann, C.; et al., .; Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (4th edition) Autophagy 17, 1-382, (2021) DOI: 10.1080/15548627.2020.1797280

In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Thus, it is important to formulate on a regular basis  updated  guidelines  for  monitoring  autophagy  in  different  organisms.  Despite  numerous  reviews, there  continues  to  be  confusion  regarding  acceptable  methods  to  evaluate  autophagy,  especially  in multicellular  eukaryotes.  Here,  we  present  a  set  of  guidelines  for  investigators  to  select  and  interpret methods  to  examine  autophagy  and  related  processes,  and  for  reviewers  to  provide  realistic  and reasonable  critiques  of  reports  that  are  focused  on  these  processes.  These  guidelines  are  not  meant to be a dogmatic set of rules, because the appropriateness of any assay largely depends on the question being  asked  and  the  system  being  used.  Moreover,  no  individual  assay  is  perfect  for  every situation, calling  for  the  use  of  multiple  techniques  to  properly  monitor  autophagy  in  each  experimental  setting. Finally,  several  core  components  of  the  autophagy  machinery  have  been  implicated  in  distinct  auto-phagic  processes  (canonical  and  noncanonical  autophagy),  implying  that  genetic  approaches  to  block autophagy  should  rely  on  targeting  two  or  more  autophagy-related  genes  that  ideally  participate  in distinct steps of the pathway. Along similar lines, because multiple proteins involved in autophagy also regulate other cellular pathways including apoptosis, not all of them can be used as a specific marker for bona fide autophagic responses. Here, we critically discuss current methods of assessing autophagy and the information they can, or cannot, provide. Our ultimate goal is to encourage intellectual and technical innovation  in  the  field.

B.; Rensing, S. A.; The Chara Genome: Secondary Complexity and Implications for Plant Terrestrialization Cell 174, 448-464.e24, (2018) DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2018.06.033

Land plants evolved from charophytic algae, among which Charophyceae possess the most complex body plans. We present the genome of Chara braunii; comparison of the genome to those of land plants identified evolutionary novelties for plant terrestrialization and land plant heritage genes. C. braunii employs unique xylan synthases for cell wall biosynthesis, a phragmoplast (cell separation) mechanism similar to that of land plants, and many phytohormones. C. braunii plastids are controlled via land-plant-like retrograde signaling, and transcriptional regulation is more elaborate than in other algae. The morphological complexity of this organism may result from expanded gene families, with three cases of particular note: genes effecting tolerance to reactive oxygen species (ROS), LysM receptor-like kinases, and transcription factors (TFs). Transcriptomic analysis of sexual reproductive structures reveals intricate control by TFs, activity of the ROS gene network, and the ancestral use of plant-like storage and stress protection proteins in the zygote.
