The Mechanism Forming the Cell Surface of Tip-Growing Rooting Cells Is Conserved among Land Plants

To discover mechanisms that controlled the growth of the rooting system in the earliest land plants, we identified genes that control the development of rhizoids in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha. 336,000 T-DNA transformed lines were screened for mutants with defects in rhizoid growth, and a de...
