Growth Characteristics and Morphogenesis of the Liverwort Marchantia paleacea Suspension Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Suspension cultured cells of the liverwort Marchantia paleacea var. diptera (MpK) were investigated to clarify the relationship between morphogenesis and the mode of utilization of nitrogen sources in different media. MpK cells grew vigorously in a Murashige and Skoog's liquid medium with 4% glucose in the light condition. Thallus regeneration from cultured cells occurred in culture medium with 0.5% glucose and 0.1% CaCO3 or 10mM malic acid. Addition of CaCO3 or malic acid to the medium was necessary to prevent the pH of the medium dropping rapidly to a very acidic value over the duration of the culture. The cause for the extreme acidification of the medium was that the cells regenerating thalli preferentially utilize ammonium as a nitrogen source without the depletion of nitrate in the early phase of culture.

Light-dependent expression of protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase gene in the liverwort, Marchantia paleacea var. diptera.
A cDNA encoding the NADPH:protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.99.1) was isolated from suspension-cultured cells of the liverwort, Marchantia paleacea var. diptera. In contrast to the situation in most higher plants, the liverwort gene was expressed in a light-dependent manner.

The transfer of Marchantia paleacea var. diptera cells to darkness caused a reversible repression in the accumulation of transcript for a gene, por, encoding the NADPH: protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (EC 1.3.1.33). The photosynthetic inhibitor DCMU and DBMIB repressed the accumulation in light. In the presence of transcription inhibitor cordycepin, not only incubation in the dark but also a...
متن کاملApplication of Lifeact Reveals F-Actin Dynamics in Arabidopsis thaliana and the Liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha
Actin plays fundamental roles in a wide array of plant functions, including cell division, cytoplasmic streaming, cell morphogenesis and organelle motility. Imaging the actin cytoskeleton in living cells is a powerful methodology for studying these important phenomena. Several useful probes for live imaging of filamentous actin (F-actin) have been developed, but new versatile probes are still n...
متن کاملSecondary metabolites from Marchantia paleacea calluses and their allelopathic effects on Arabidopsis seed growth.
Rapid-growth Marchantia paleacea calluses were induced on MSK2 medium through surface sterilisation of the capsula. Ten known compounds including two steroids (1-2), six bibenzyls (3, 5-9), a flavonoid (10), and a terpenoid (4) were isolated from these calluses. The allelopathic effect of the six bibenzyls was assessed in Arabidopsis thaliana. Results revealed that bibenzyls could inhibit seedl...

The colonisation of the land by plants was accompanied by the evolution of complex tissues and multicellular structures comprising different cell types as morphological adaptations to the terrestrial environment. Here, we show that the single WIP protein in the early-diverging land plant Marchantia polymorpha L. is required for the development of the multicellular gas exchange structure: the ai...
