Abstract excerpt
Class I homeodomain-leucine zipper (C1HDZ) transcription factors regulate diverse developmental and stress-related processes in land plants. While extensively studied in angiosperms, their functions in other lineages are poorly understood. In the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, the sole C1HDZ orthologue (MpC1HDZ) controls herbivore defense by regulating oil body cell formation. This suggests that the function of...
