Insights into Land Plant Evolution Garnered from the Marchantia polymorpha Genome

John L. Bowman, +118 more
- 05 Oct 2017 - 
TL;DR: Compared with other sequenced land plants, M. polymorpha exhibits low genetic redundancy in most regulatory pathways, with this portion of its genome resembling that predicted for the ancestral land plant.

Group A PP2Cs evolved in land plants as key regulators of intrinsic desiccation tolerance

TL;DR: It is proposed that Group A PP2C emerged in land plants to repress desiccation tolerance mechanisms, possibly facilitating plants propagation on land, whereas ABA releases the intrinsic desiccence tolerance from Group APP2C regulation.
