This study identifies MpGC1L, a paralog of MpGCAM1, as a positive regulator of regeneration in Marchantia polymorpha, showing distinct roles in cell-cycle re-entry during thallus regeneration.

The paper identifies a conserved residue critical for proteolysis of B-class ARF MpARF2 and shows differential functional impact of degradation in A-class MpARF1.

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

This study shows that light-dependent nuclear relocation in land plants evolved in the common ancestor of land plants and diverged during evolution, with similar but less stable responses observed in liverworts compared to Arabidopsis.
