(🧵 1/4) On the cover of our #LatestIssue: The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha reproduces asexually through clonal propagules called gemmae. Gemma formation is controlled by a developmental program that balances auxin levels and restricts gemma-cell identity...

Why did the earliest plant vascular systems diversify so rapidly? We think they evolved to tolerate drought. We show why xylem connectivity was critical for preventing hydraulic failure. @BoudaLab@WasonLab@KyraPrats @HuggettLab @Medullosa 🧵👇
