Abstract excerpt
The development of the haploid gametophyte stage of Physcomitrella patens presents excellent opportunities for the detailed study of plant morphogenesis at the cellular level. The filamentous protonema undergoes a number of developmental transitions that can be observed directly in living material using time-lapse video microscopy and that can be manipulated both by treatment with phytohormones and by...
