LysM-mediated signaling in Marchantia polymorpha and conservation of PTI in land plants
Plant Science Research WeeklyMarchantia polymorpha, the common (but adorable) liverwort, has earned its spot in the ranks of very important plant model systems, joining Physcomitrium patens as representatives of the bryophyte clade. Many systems first characterized in Arabidopsis and other angiosperms are now being studied in these…
