We report the draft genome sequence of the model moss Physcomitrella patens and compare
its features with those of flowering plants, from which it is separated by more than 400 …

The mechanism by which phytohormones, like abscisic acid (ABA), regulate gene expression
is unknown. An activity in nuclear extracts that interacts with the ABA response element (…

We demonstrate that a chimeric gene containing the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter
gene linked to a 646-base pair 5' fragment (-554 to +92) from the abscisic acid (ABA)-regulated …

The draft genome of the moss model, Physcomitrella patens, comprised approximately 2000
unordered scaffolds. In order to enable analyses of genome structure and evolution we …

Most plant genes that control complex traits of tissues, organs, and whole plants are
uncharacterized. Plant height, structure of reproductive organs, seed development and germination, …

• Dehydration tolerance was an adaptive trait necessary for the colonization of land by plants,
and remains widespread among bryophytes: the nearest extant relatives of the first land …

Cell biological, structural, and genetic approaches have demonstrated the presence of
arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) in the moss Physcomitrella patens and provided evidence for …

Motivation: A fundamental problem of computational genomics is identifying the genes that
respond to certain endogenous cues and environmental stimuli. This problem can be referred …

The formation of a seed in the life cycle of higher plants is a unique adaptation. It incorporates
embryo development with various physiological processes that insure the survival of the …

Proteins of the 14‐3‐3 family have well‐defined functions as regulators of plant primary
metabolism and ion homeostasis. However, neither their function nor action mechanism in plant …
