In this study, 14 previously undescribed terpenoids were isolated from the Chinese liverwort Heteroscyphus coalitus (Hook.) Schiffner, including a rare harziane type diterpenoid, heteroscyphsic acid A; eight ent-clerodane diterpenoids, heteroscyphsic acids B-I; four labdane diterpenoids, heteroscyphins A-D; and one guaiane sesquiterpene, heteroscyphin E; as well as a known ent-junceic acid. Their structures were determined by a combination of MS, NMR spectroscopy, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The anti-virulence activity of the isolated compounds against Candida albicans DSY654 demonstrated that most of them could block hyphal growth at concentrations ranging from 4-32 μg/ml. Further investigation of the most active compound, heteroscyphin D, revealed that it could suppress the ability of C. albicans DSY654 to adhere to A549 cells and form biofilms, and modulate the transcription of related genes in this fungus.

Chloroplasts develop from undifferentiated plastids in response to light. In angiosperms, after the perception of light, the Elongated Hypocotyl 5 (HY5) transcription factor initiates photomorphogenesis, and two families of transcription factors known as GOLDEN2-LIKE (GLK) and GATA are considered master regulators of chloroplast development. In addition, the MIR171-targeted SCARECROW-LIKE GRAS transcription factors also impact chlorophyll biosynthesis.

Germline fate determination is a critical event in sexual reproduction. Unlike animals, plants specify the germline by reprogramming somatic cells at the late stages of their development. However, the genetic basis of germline fate determination and how it evolved during the land plant evolution are still poorly understood.

Article Synopsis
- - Marchantia polymorpha, a model plant for bryophytes, demonstrates how RNA silencing helps early land plants cope with high temperatures, through the unique ARGONAUTE1 ortholog gene (MpAGO1) regulated by specific microRNAs (miR11707.1 and miR11707.2).
- - Analysis revealed that MpAGO1 is less selective for various small RNA species compared to its counterpart in Arabidopsis (AtAGO1), indicating complexities in microRNA species specificity that require further investigation.
- - The study showed that while MpAGO1 mRNA decreases with temperature changes, the stability of MpAGO1 protein and its miRNAs boosts the activity of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC

Meristems are crucial for organ formation, but our knowledge of their molecular evolution is limited. Here, we show that AINTEGUMENTA (MpANT) in the euANT branch of the APETALA2-like transcription factor family is essential for meristem development in the nonvascular plant Marchantia polymorpha. MpANT is expressed in the thallus meristem.

In bryophytes, sexual reproduction necessitates the release of motile sperm cells from a gametophyte into the environment. Since 1856, this process, particularly in liverworts, has been known to depend on water. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this phenomenon has remained elusive.
