230-Comprehensive genomic analysis of land plants
The article details a comprehensive genomic analysis of land plants. The research, which included 123 newly sequenced bryophyte genomes, discovered that bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts) possess a significantly greater diversity of gene families compared to vascular plants. This extensive genetic repertoire, consisting of a higher number of unique and accessory gene families, is attributed to extensive new gene formation—including de novo origination from noncoding regions—and continuous horizontal transfer of microbial genes throughout their evolutionary history. The study…
