Bryophytes, the most basal of the extant land plants, diverged at least 450 million years ago. A major feature of these plants is the biphasic alternation of generations between a dominant haploid ...
A research team has revealed that the MADS-box genes control sperm motility and cell division and elongation of the stem of gametophores, using the moss Physcomitrella patens. Flowering plants have ...
Berkeley -- Some 400 million years ago, on a lifeless lakeshore lapped by waves, floating algae learned to survive in the open air and launched an invasion that transformed the Earth into a green ...
When a sperm and an egg cell merge a new life begins. This is the case in humans and in animals, but in principle also in plants. A team of biologists has discovered a gene trigger in the moss ...
Gibberellins (GAs) are a group of diterpene-type plant hormones biosynthesized from ent-kaurene via ent-kaurenoic acid. GAs are ubiquitously present in seed plants. The GA signal is perceived and ...
A research team led by Professor Tomomichi Fujita of Hokkaido University has confirmed that the moss Physcomitrella patens, a widely used model organism, maintains a high survival rate even after ...
S. Rensing et al., “The Physcomitrella genome reveals evolutionary insights into the conquest of land by plants,” Science, 319: 64–69, 2008. (Cited in 126 papers). Seventy authors from more than 40 ...
Technological innovations give rise to a new era of plant evolutionary developmental biology / K. Sakakibara -- Coevolution of organelle RNA editing and nuclear specificity factors in early land ...
