This project investigates the role of the microRNA miR156 and SPL genes in the evolution of vascular plants and mosses. By using genetic techniques and advanced imaging, it aims to understand how these components influence apical growth and reproductive development in these plant groups.
An ancient divergence in land plant evolution gave rise to the vascular plant (e.g.
Arabidopsis) and bryophyte (e.g. moss) groups.
Prolonged apical growth is a defining feature of vascular plants and the establishment of elaborate shoot systems with delayed reproductive development enabled their extraordinary evolutionary success.
In contrast, mosses undergo transient apical growth prior to rapid reproductive development.
In Arabidopsis, the microRNA miR156 represses members of the SPL family of…
