Abstract excerpt
Dormancy is a crucial trait that allows land plants to withstand harsh terrestrial environments by pausing growth until favorable conditions return. The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha produces dormant propagules, gemmae, for asexual reproduction. The phytohormone ABA is known to regulate dormancy in the seeds of flowering plants and the gemmae of M. polymorpha. Here, we identify a basic helix-loop-helix protein,...
