TL;DR: The application of CRISPR/Cas9 to targeted mutagenesis in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha L., which has emerged as a model species for studying land plant evolution, provides a rapid and simple approach for molecular genetics in M.polymorpha, and raises the possibility that the system may be applied to a wide variety of plant species.

TL;DR: This study shows the establishment of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing vectors with high efficiency for both construction and genome editing and demonstrates that simple, rapid, and efficient genome editing is feasible with the series of developed vectors.

TL;DR: Using the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, which contains a single phytochrome gene, the phy tochrome regulates re-entry into the cell cycle and cell shape in newly regenerating tissues, consistent with earlier descriptions published over a century ago, light is not essential for, but exerts profound effects on regeneration in M.polymorpha.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show that in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, a Ia-IIIb bHLH module regulates the development of a unique sporophyte tissue, the seta, which is found in mosses and liverworts.
