CNGCs in Marchantia paleacea uncouple arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis and rhizoid development
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Rhizoid growth and AM fungal infection are uncoupled. Summary In Marchantia paleacea, MpaDMI1‐dependent nuclear Ca2+ oscillations are essential for arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal colonisation, indicating that endosymbiosis‐mediated nuclear Ca2+ signalling is a conserved feature of land plant–AM symbiosis.

Hornwort DNA extraction v1 [PDF]
, 2018 The gametophytic tissue of hornworts is rich in polysaccharides (Renzaglia et al., 2009) and it also seems to be rich in polyphenolics. Both compounds pose a problem for DNA. A modified CTAB protocol was found to be optimal for hornwort genomic DNA extraction (adapted from Porebski et al. 1997).

The hornwort genome and early land plant evolution [PDF]
Nature Plants, 2020 AbstractHornworts, liverworts and mosses are three early diverging clades of land plants, and together comprise the bryophytes. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the hornwort Anthoceros angustus. Phylogenomic inferences confirm the monophyly of bryophytes, with hornworts sister to liverworts and mosses.

New Phytologist, EarlyView.The heterocyst‐rich Encephalartos natalensis cyanobacterial zone in coralloid root suggests co‐option of conserved symbiosis‐associated genes. This figure was created in BioRender (BioRender.com/https://BioRender.com/n3qveqc). Summary Plant‐cyanobacterial symbioses have evolved independently at least four times across land plants, yet their underlying ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT After an initial evolution in a reducing environment, life got successively challenged by reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially during the great oxidation event (GOE) that followed the development of photosynthesis. Therefore, ROS are deeply intertwined into the physiological, morphological and transcriptional responses of most present‐day

Biogeography of Sri Lankan bryophytes: the present status
Ceylon Journal of Science, 2017 Bryophytes (liverworts, mosses and hornworts) are the closest living relatives of the first group of plants that successfully colonized land. This small but well-established group of plants is unique among other land plants in having a dominant ...

Novel Glomeromycotina–moss associations identified in California dryland biocrusts
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 151-163, July 2026.Summary Drylands, which comprise c. 45% of Earth's land area, host biological soil crusts (biocrusts): symbiotic communities of cyanobacteria, fungi, algae, lichen, and bryophytes that stabilize soil and support key ecosystem functions. Moss‐dominated biocrusts are particularly interesting due to their potential to illuminate ancient bryophyte–fungal ...

Conserved Organisation of 45S rDNA Sites and rDNA Gene Copy Number among Major Clades of Early Land Plants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Genes encoding ribosomal RNA (rDNA) are universal key constituents of eukaryotic genomes, and the nuclear genome harbours hundreds to several thousand copies of each species.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.This study uses an optimized MaxEnt model to predict the potential distribution of Pleurozia across Asia under current and future climate scenarios. Our results show that evergreen broadleaf forest cover, temperature annual range, mean diurnal range, and altitude are the key environmental determinants, and that suitable habitats are projected to expand
