Comparative Organellar Genomics of Pellidae: Insights into Codon Usage, Nucleotide Diversity, and Structural Evolution [PDF]
Liverwort organellar genomes are generally highly conserved, but the subclass Pellidae (simple thalloids) shows unusual variation. This ancient yet unexplored lineage of simple thalloid liverworts provides an excellent model for investigating organellar ...

The SPL-family transcription factor MpSPL3 orchestrates the proper regulation of vegetative and reproductive programs in Marchantia polymorpha. [PDF]
SUMMARY SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN‐LIKE (SPL) genes encode plant‐specific transcription factors that are widely distributed across the plant kingdom. In angiosperms, the multimember SPL family regulates various biological processes, including vegetative‐to‐reproductive phase transition, inflorescence architecture, and lateral organ development ...

The Biosynthesis and Functions of Flavonoids: Recent Advances From Studies Across Land Plant Diversity. [PDF]
Over the last decade there have been significant advances in genome sequencing and model species development for ferns, lycophytes, and the bryophyte lineages—mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. This has facilitated research on the biosynthesis and function of flavonoids in these non‐seed land‐plant lineages.

Chloroplast relocation movement in the liverwort Apopellia endiviifolia. [PDF]
Abstract Changes in the subcellular localisation of chloroplasts help optimise photosynthetic activity under different environmental conditions. In many plants, this movement is mediated by the blue‐light photoreceptor phototropin. A model organism with simple phototropin signalling that allows clear observation of chloroplasts would facilitate the ...

A New Species of <i>Radula</i> (Radulaceae, Porellales) From Mid-Cretaceous Kachin Amber. [PDF]
Fossil records of Radula are scarce, particularly those with sufficient morphological details for precise taxonomic assignment. In this study, we describe and illustrate a new species, Radula kachinensis sp. nov., from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber in Myanmar.

Endophytic bacteria discovered in oil body organelles of the liverworts Marchantia polymorpha and Radula complanata. [PDF]
Abstract Premise Interactions between endophytic microbes and bryophytes have been understudied. The liverwort oil body has also remained poorly understood since its discovery, and modern studies have failed to ascertain its function and composition. Many liverwort species possess oil bodies with conspicuous granules of unknown structure.

Evolution of sexual systems and regressive evolution in Riccia. [PDF]
Summary The genus Riccia is the most speciose of the Marchantiopsida, the complex thalloid liverworts. In contrast to the predicted ancestral liverwort and the majority of extant liverworts that are dioicous, most Riccia species are monoicous. Both the gametophyte and the sporophyte generations have undergone regressive evolution in Riccia, with the ...

Extending the diversity of the bryoflora in Kachin amber (Myanmar), with the description of Radula patrickmuelleri, sp. nov. and R. tanaiensis, sp. nov. (Jungermanniopsida, Porellales, Radulaceae) [PDF]
The most prolific source of exquisitely preserved bryophyte fossils is amber, which often contains inclusions in a three-dimensional and life-like state of preservation.

A Burmese amber fossil of Radula (Porellales, Jungermanniopsida) provides insights into the Cretaceous evolution of epiphytic lineages of leafy liverworts [PDF]
DNA-based divergence time estimates suggested major changes in the composition of epiphyte lineages of liverworts during the Cretaceous; however, evidence from the fossil record is scarce.
