From spore to gametophyte: Investigating morphological dynamics of hyaline cells and corresponding gene expression patterns in Sphagnum
This study reveals the gene expression patterns underlying hyaline cell development in Sphagnum capillifolium, with a focus on key genes involved in cell wall remodeling. The findings highlight significant evolutionary differences between Sphagnum and vascular plants, particularly regarding the unique functional and structural characteristics of EXO70, PME, and XTH genes. These insights provide a new perspective on the molecular mechanisms behind hyaline cell formation in Sphagnum, further enhancing our understanding of its role in regulating wetland hydrological environments.
