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.

This study identifies ROP GTPase's role in establishing cellular asymmetry during plant development from a single spore.

This study shows that RLF, a heme-binding protein, is essential for organ development in Marchantia polymorpha and is evolutionarily conserved with a role in Arabidopsis thaliana.

This study shows PATROL1 enhances H+-ATPase translocation in roots and leaves, improving plant growth under drought by optimizing root water uptake and leaf photosynthesis.

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.

This study investigates the roles of ROP GTPase regulators in organogenesis of Marchantia polymorpha, showing that both GAPs and GEFs are essential for controlling the active/inactive cycle of MpROP.
