Insights into Land Plant Evolution Garnered from the Marchantia polymorpha Genome
The evolution of land flora transformed the terrestrial environment. Land plants evolved from an ancestral charophycean alga from which they inherited developmental, biochemical, and cell biological attributes. Additional biochemical and physiological adaptations to land, and a life cycle with an alternation between multicellular haploid and diploid generations that facilitated efficient disper...
متن کاملMolecular evolution of mitochondrial introns in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha
We here describe in detail the characterization and molecular evolution of group II introns in the mitochondrial genome of the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha. We find that 18 introns of the 25 group II introns can be assigned by their similarities to six clusters, indicating an intra-genomic propagation of one ancestral intron each into the respective clusters in the liverwort mitochondrial ge...
متن کاملSexual Organs of Marchantia polymorpha
A total of 935 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from male immature sexual organ were determined, of which 600 ESTs were assembled into 110 non-redundant groups, resulting in 445 unique EST sequences. Of these, 244 sequences shared significant similarities to known nucleotide or amino acid sequences in other organisms. The remaining 201 unique sequences showed no significant matches and thus are l...
متن کاملGene content, organization and molecular evolution of plant organellar genomes and sex chromosomes — Insights from the case of the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha
The complete nucleotide sequence of chloroplast DNA (121,025 base pairs, bp) from a liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha, has made clear the entire gene organization of the chloroplast genome. Quite a few genes encoding components of photosynthesis and protein synthesis machinery have been identified by comparative computer analysis. We also determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the liverw...
متن کاملA Cyan Fluorescent Reporter Expressed from the Chloroplast Genome of Marchantia polymorpha.
Recently, the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha has received increasing attention as a basal plant model for multicellular studies. Its ease of handling, well-characterized plastome and proven protocols for biolistic plastid transformation qualify M. polymorpha as an attractive platform to study the evolution of chloroplasts during the transition from water to land. In addition, chloroplasts of M...
