The Selaginella genome identifies genetic changes associated with the evolution of vascular plants.

Jo Ann Banks, +118 more
- 20 May 2011 - 
TL;DR: The genome sequence of the lycophyte Selaginella moellendorffii (Selaginella), the first nonseed vascular plant genome reported, is reported, finding that the transition from a gametophytes- to a sporophyte-dominated life cycle required far fewer new genes than the Transition from a non Seed vascular to a flowering plant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tagged Mutagenesis and Gene-trap in the Moss, Physcomitrella patens by Shuttle Mutagenesis

TL;DR: A gene tagging and gene-trap system in P. patens is developed by using the shuttle mutagenesis technique, which has been used in the budding yeast, and 203 mutants with altered developmental or morphological phenotypes were obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contribution of NAC Transcription Factors to Plant Adaptation to Land

TL;DR: The results show conservation of transcriptional regulation and cellular function between moss and Arabidopsis thaliana water-conducting cells, and the conserved genetic basis suggests roles for NAC proteins in the adaptation of plants to land.
Journal ArticleDOI

A polycomb repressive complex 2 gene regulates apogamy and gives evolutionary insights into early land plant evolution

TL;DR: In land plants, branching, along with indeterminate apical growth and delayed initiation of spore-bearing reproductive organs, were conspicuous innovations for the evolution of a dominant sporophyte plant body.
Journal ArticleDOI

KNOX2 Genes Regulate the Haploid-to-Diploid Morphological Transition in Land Plants

TL;DR: Deletion of the class 2 KNOTTED1-LIKE HOMEOBOX (KNOX2) transcription factors in the moss Physcomitrella patens results in the development of gametophyte bodies from diploid embryos without meiosis, indicating a critical role for the evolution of KNOx2 in establishing an alternation of generations in land plants.
