Abstract excerpt
Telomere repeat binding (TRB) proteins are plant-specific proteins with a unique domain structure distinct from telomerebinding proteins in animals and yeast. While extensively studied in seed plants, their role in early-diverging plant lineages remains largely unexplored. Here, we investigate TRB proteins in a model moss, Physcomitrium patens, to assess their evolutionary conservation and functional...
