This study investigates TOR signalling in Physcomitrella, showing it positively controls growth, development, chloroplast function, protein synthesis, and cell cycle progression.

This study identifies novel cell division genes in Physcomitrella using CRISPR/Cas9 screening and co-expression data, revealing gene families unique to land plants.

The paper investigates genome dynamics in mosses using chromosome-scale assemblies, finding extensive synteny alongside dynamic gene space driven by de novo gene birth and loss.

The paper analyzes the N-terminome of Physcomitrella to reveal N-terminal methylation of mitochondrial proteins and identifies a methyltransferase involved in plastid, mitochondrial, and cytosolic methylation.

This study identifies six prolyl-4 hydroxylases in mosses and characterizes their substrate specificity, structural features, and functional roles in proline hydroxylation and O-glycosylation.
