This study generates a spatiotemporal transcriptomic atlas of Marchantia sporophyte development, revealing ancestral gene expression programs and dynamic epigenetic changes during early embryogenesis.

This paper identifies a biosynthetic gene cluster in liverwort Marchantia polymorpha that produces monoterpenes using neryl diphosphate as a substrate, revealing new insights into monoterpene biosynthesis in non-seed plants.

UVfinder identifies sex-linked gene copies in moss genomes, revealing neo-sex chromosome formation and phylogenetic insights from sex-linked loci.

MarpolBase provides high-quality reference genomes for Marchantia polymorpha and offers tools for genome analysis and gene nomenclature.

This study analyzes cell wall glycans and glycosyltransferases in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, revealing unique features and developing a resource for genetic studies.

This study identifies a feedforward regulatory loop involving auxin, MpANT, and MpPIN1 that regulates meristem maintenance and cell proliferation in Marchantia polymorpha.

This paper investigates the role of GT47B genes in arabinan deposition in Marchantia polymorpha by analyzing mutants and overexpression lines, revealing reduced 1,5-L-arabinan in Mparadl2 mutants and challenges in purifying GT47B proteins.

This study investigates IAA's role in morphogenesis and auxin transport in Chara braunii, showing IAA promotes growth and identifies PIN homologs with distinct subcellular localization and function.

The paper shows that gamete-specific expression of TALE class HD genes in Marchantia polymorpha triggers the haploid-to-diploid transition and sporophyte development.

The paper analyzes chromatin organization in the early land plant Marchantia polymorpha, revealing an ancestral role of H3K27me3 in transposon silencing and heterochromatin formation.
