Josep Vilarrasa-Blasi and colleagues combined phosphoproteomics, transcriptomics and genetic screening in Chlamydomonas to define how a single-celled green alga responds to osmotic stress. The analysis identified stress pathways conserved between algae and land plants and highlighted roles for distinct cellular compartments in the response, offering a simplified system for dissecting the core machinery plants use to perceive water loss.
