Description
Alexander Freidinger and six co-authors test whether a moss uses the same seasonal timing genes as flowering plants, in a study from 2024. Many plants time reproduction to season using a family of regulators well studied in crops. The moss Physcomitrium also breeds under cold, short days, inviting comparison.
Scanning gene activity data, they found two moss genes closely matching the flowering plant regulators in motifs and daily rhythms. Knockout mutants were then raised to test effects on sexual reproduction and cold response. Despite the strong resemblance, the seasonal regulation seen in flowering plants was not conserved in the moss. Shared parts, it seems, were rewired over evolution.
