Gene targeting in Physcomitrella patens.
نویسنده
چکیده
Gene-targeting efficiency in the land plant Physcomitrella patens (Bryophyta) can only be compared with that observed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Sequencing programs and microbiological molecular genetic approaches are now being developed to unravel the precise function of plant genes. Physcomitrella patens, as the new 'green yeast', might well become a major tool for functional genomic studies of multicellular eukaryotes.

Evolutionary crossroads in developmental biology: Physcomitrella patens.
The moss Physcomitrella patens has recently emerged as a powerful genetically tractable model plant system. As a member of the bryophytes, P. patens provides a unique opportunity to study the evolution of a myriad of plant traits, such as polarized cell growth, gametophyte-to-sporophyte transitions, and sperm-to-pollen transition. The availability of a complete genome sequence, together with th...
متن کاملRAD51 genes have different roles in Physcomitrella patens and Arabidopsis thaliana
The eukaryotic RecA homologue RAD51 plays an essential role in homologous recombination and DNA damage repair in yeast. The lethality of rad51 mutants in vertebrates suggests that this gene has acquired additional functions at the interface of recombination and cell-cycle control in some animals. However, viability and unaltered vegetative development in a RAD51 knockout mutant in Arabidopsis t...
متن کاملMapping of the Physcomitrella patens proteome.
The moss Physcomitrella patens is unique among land plants due to the high rate of homologous recombination in its nuclear DNA. The feasibility of gene targeting makes Physcomitrella an unrivalled model organism in the field of plant functional genomics. To further extend the potentialities of this seed-less plant we aimed at exploring the P. patens proteome. Experimental conditions had to be a...
متن کاملParameters determining the efficiency of gene targeting in the moss Physcomitrella patens
In the moss Physcomitrella patens, transforming DNA containing homologous sequences integrates predominantly by homologous recombination with its genomic target. A systematic investigation of the parameters that determine gene targeting efficiency shows a direct relationship between homology length and targeting frequency for replacement vectors (a selectable marker flanked by homologous DNA). ...
متن کاملDefective Kernel 1 (DEK1) is required for three-dimensional growth in Physcomitrella patens
Orientation of cell division is critical for plant morphogenesis. This is evident in the formation and function of meristems and for morphogenetic transitions. Mosses undergo such transitions: from two-dimensional tip-growing filaments (protonema) to the generation of three-dimensional leaf-like structures (gametophores). The Defective Kernel 1 (DEK1) protein plays a key role in the perception ...
