We discovered that light and an apical auxin minimum are required for development of the first flat body structure (the prothallus) and positioning of the first meristem in Marchantia sporelings - now preprinted:

Our study on the effect of strigolactone signaling on vessel formation and water usage is now peer reviewed: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Great achievement of Jiao Zhao, Dongbo Shi, Kiara Kaeufer, and everybody involved!
Strigolactones optimise plant water usage by modulating vessel formation - Nature Communications
Vessel elements arise from cambium stem cells and support plant growth by supplying water and nutrients. This study reveals that strigolactone signalling inhibits vessel formation in response to droug...

The GMI announces a new EMBO workshop titled "Plant evolution: from origins to diversification on land" - right here in Vienna. The hybrid event will be held on November 25-27 at the Vienna BioCenter. Register by August 25 at meetings.embo.org/event/25-plant-evolution.
Plant evolution: from origins to diversification on land
The evolution of plants – photosynthetic eukaryotes resulting from the endosymbiosis of a cyanobacterium and a non-photosynthetic host cell – transformed the earth system by reducing the amount of CO…
