ABSTRACT
Research on mosses has provided answers to many fundamental questions in the life sciences, with the model moss Physcomitrella patens spearheading the field. Recent breakthroughs in cell biology were obtained in the quantification of chlorophyll fluorescence, signalling via calcium waves, the creation of designer organelles, gene identification in cellular reprogramming, reproduction via motile sperm and egg cells, asymmetric cell division, visualization of the actin cytoskeleton, identification of genes responsible for the shift from 2D to 3D growth, the structure and importance of the cell wall, and in the live imaging and modelling of protein networks in general. Highly standardized growth conditions, simplicity of most moss tissues, and an outstandingly efficient gene editing facilitate quantitative moss cell biology.
