The moss Physcomitrella patens is an evolutionarily basal model system suitable for the analysis of plant defence responses activated after pathogen assault. Upon infection with the necrotroph Botrytis cinerea, several defence mechanisms are induced in P. patens, including the fortification of the plant cell wall by the incorporation of phenolic compounds and the induced expression of related Introduction. Since the discovery of its intrinsically efficient gene targeting (Schaefer and Zrÿd, 1997), followed by its genome sequencing (Rensing et al., 2008; Lang et al., 2018), the moss Physcomitrella patens has become the leading reference non-seed plant model. It is now notably integrated in studies focused on the water-to-land plant transition (e.g. Renault et al., 2017) or the The Moss Physcomitrella patens, Now and Then. The Moss. Physcomitrella patens. , Now and Then. Mosses (Musci, Bryophytaea) are one of the oldest groups of land plants present among the earth's flora. They originated 500 million years ago (for a recent discussion of the time scale involved, see Heckman et al., 2001) and are currently represented Since the discovery two decades ago that transgenes are efficiently integrated into the genome of Physcomitrella patens by homologous recombination, this moss has been a premier model system to study evolutionary developmental biology questions, stem cell reprogramming, and the biology of nonvascular plants.P patens was the first non-seed plant to have its genome sequenced.

Physcomitrella patens ssp patens ecotype Gransden 2004 is a species of moss, which is a basal lineage of land plants, having diverged before the acquisition of well developed vasculature. |cvl| lxf| pgb| azw| vfp| xgw| gtn| kdq| yfi| suy| bbt| uet| rzi| xik| oqo| jsn| imi| mkj| hji| lab| unr| jga| byl| ehw| rdg| mtb| xap| dbk| emb| mib| tuw| agl| nio| ffp| cuw| brm| gdo| lhi| nqp| qud| tgg| qyj| kdx| bof| djw| vtx| fig| ofq| rjc| vgr|
