Published: April 2021

An investigation of the chemical composition of Chinese liverworts led to the isolation of six new caged clerodane-type diterpenoids, scaparins A-C (-) from and scaparins D-F (-) from . An unknown -trachylobane diterpenoid () and three known terpenoid derivatives (-) were obtained from . The structures of the compounds were established on the basis of physical data (IR, UV, HRESIMS, and 1D and 2D NMR), and the absolute configurations were unequivocally confirmed by comparison of the experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism spectra. Preliminary bioassays showed that compounds - exhibited moderate to weak quinone reductase-inducing activity in Hepa-1c1c7 cells.

Most land plants form symbioses with microbes to acquire nutrients but also must restrict infection by pathogens. Here, we show that a single pair of lysin-motif-containing receptor-like kinases, MpaLYR and MpaCERK1, mediates both immunity and symbiosis in the liverwort Marchantia paleacea. MpaLYR has a higher affinity for long-chain (CO7) versus short-chain chitin oligomers (CO4).

Although plant secretory tissues play important roles in host defense against herbivores and pathogens and the attraction of insect pollinators, their genetic control remains elusive. Here, it is focused that current progress has been made in the genetic regulatory mechanisms underpinning secretory tissue development in land plants. C1HDZ transcription factors (TFs) are found to play crucial roles in the regulation of internal secretory tissues in liverworts and as well as external secretory tissues in peach.

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.
