This study identifies GEMMIFER (MpGMFR) as a key regulator of asexual reproduction in Marchantia polymorpha by showing its necessity and sufficiency for initiating gemma formation.

This study identifies a minimal cell-cycle control system in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, revealing conserved mechanisms and ancestral states of cell-cycle regulation in plants.

This study shows that the SERK-BIR module regulates development and immunity in liverworts, suggesting its conservation from the last common ancestor of land plants.
