The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha has been utilized as a model for biological studies
since the 18th century. In the past few decades, there has been a Renaissance in its …

Marchantia polymorpha is a bryophyte gaining significance as a model plant in evolutionary
studies in recent years. This is attributed to its small-sequenced genome, standardized …

Peatlands are crucial sinks for atmospheric carbon but are critically threatened due to
warming climates. Sphagnum (peat moss) species are keystone members of peatland …

The Closterium peracerosum–strigosum–littorale complex (Closterium, Zygnematophyceae)
has an isogamous mating system. Members of the Zygnematophyceae are the closest …

The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha is equipped with a wide range of molecular and
genetic tools and resources that have led to its wide use to explore the evo-devo aspects of …

In many eukaryotes, genetic sex determination is not governed by XX/XY or ZW/ZZ systems
but by a specialized region on the poorly studied U (female) or V (male) sex chromosomes …

Understanding plant sex chromosomes involves studying interactions between
developmental and physiological genetics, genome evolution, and evolutionary ecology. We …

Main conclusion This review provides a detailed structural and functional understanding of
BBR/BPC TF, their conservation across the plant lineage, and their comparative study with …

Complex mechanisms regulate gene dosage throughout eukaryotic life cycles. Mechanisms
controlling gene dosage have been extensively studied in animals, however it is unknown …

Why do some genomes stay small and simple, while others become huge, and why are
some genomes more stable? In contrast to angiosperms and gymnosperms, liverworts are …
