It's as easy as ABC...and G!
Kanazawa et al report how specialized metabolites in the #liverwort #Marchantia are synthesized & sequestered in oil bodies - a process involving ABCG transporters

Divide and conquer..🌿
Kawamura et al. show that plant-specific SABATH #methyltransferases independently acquired developmental regulatory roles (in part acting via the #gibberellin pathway) in #Marchantia via parallel evolution

'Arrest and tolerance: two modules of MpHYPNOS-dependent gemma dormancy in Marchantia'
HYPNO(S)therapy for bryophytes...
Yoshimura et al. uncover the MpHYPNOS-mediated transcriptional networks controlling gemma dormancy in #Marchantia: ABA-independent & -dependent pathways that suppress germination & enhance desiccation tolerance, respectively
