The paper shows that MpDCL1a is essential for miRNA biogenesis and regulates auxin synthesis, influencing cell identity and body development in the last common ancestor of land plants.

This study identifies MpHYPNOS as a key regulator of gemma dormancy in liverworts, showing it represses cell cycle genes and induces ABA biosynthesis through an ABA-independent pathway.

This study identifies conserved components of the KAI2-ligand signaling pathway in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha and shows their functional roles in KL signaling.

This study investigates how Marchantia polymorpha responds to phosphate starvation through transcriptional and morpho-physiological changes, identifying key genes and pathways involved in Pi acquisition and conservation.

The paper visualizes seasonal phosphorus re-translocation in poplar trees and analyzes phosphate transporter expression in a shortened annual cycle system.

The paper identifies MpTAW1, an ALOG family protein in Marchantia polymorpha, as a regulator of lateral organ development and meristem maintenance, showing its conserved function in specifying lateral organ identity across plant lineages.

The paper identifies GCAM1 as an essential regulator of gemma cup development in Marchantia polymorpha, suggesting an ancient conserved mechanism for secondary meristem production in land plants.

This study identifies KARAPPO, a RopGEF, as essential for initiating vegetative reproduction in Marchantia by promoting gemma initial formation through Rop signaling.
