A non-canonical BZR/BES transcription factor regulates the development of haploid reproductive organs in Marchantia polymorpha
Gametogenesis, which is essential to the sexual reproductive system, has drastically changed during plant evolution. Bryophytes, lycophytes and ferns develop reproductive organs called gametangia—antheridia an...

Characterization of the cAMP phosphodiesterase domain in plant adenylyl cyclase/cAMP phosphodiesterase CAPE from the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha
Cyclic AMP (cAMP) acts as a second messenger and is involved in the regulation of various physiological responses. Recently, we identified the cAMP-synthesis/hydrolysis enzyme CAPE, which contains the two cata...

Open AccessDistribution of adenylyl cyclase/cAMP phosphodiesterase gene, CAPE, in streptophytes reproducing via motile sperm
We recently isolated a novel adenylyl cyclase/cAMP phosphodiesterase gene from the liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha. The protein encoded by this gene has a class III adenylyl cyclase (AC) in the C-terminal domain...

Open AccessAn adenylyl cyclase with a phosphodiesterase domain in basal plants with a motile sperm system
Adenylyl cyclase (AC), which produces the signalling molecule cAMP, has numerous important cellular functions in diverse organisms from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. Here we report the identification and characte...

Molecular evidence of the hybrid origins of leyland cypress (×Cupressocyparis leylandii)
Leyland cypress (×Cupressocyparis leylandii) has been regarded as an intergeneric hybrid between Monterey cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa) and Alaska cypress (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis) in the Cupressaceae. Each p...
