In a study titled "A transcriptomic hourglass in brown algae," published in Nature, the research team investigated whether the hourglass pattern observed in animals, plants, and fungi also exists ...

Multicellular species of animals and plants differ in form but look similar when their body plan is established — described as an hourglass-like pattern of development. Independently evolved ...

Recent observations in brown algae from researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen and the University of Dundee reveal the same hourglass pattern during embryogenesis as animals ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biology, Germany, have discovered a conserved developmental pattern known as the hourglass model in brown algae, providing more evidence that the ...
