Metabolic control of gametophore shoot formation through arginine in the moss Physcomitrium patens

Joint press release (in Japanese)

 

Highlights:

  • AN3/GIF1 family promotes gametophore shoot formation in Physcomitrium patens
  • Arginine metabolism is a major metabolic target of AN3/GIF1 family signaling
  • Perturbation in arginine level results in stunted gametophore morphology
  • Ectopic Arabidopsis AN3/GIF1 is sufficient to rescue the defects in gametophores
