Figure 1 Aspects of Marchantia biology. (A) Vegetative haploid life form (thallus) in laboratory culture. (B) Female reproductive organs (archegoniophores) in the shape of palm trees growing from the haploid thallus of a female plant. (C) Male reproductive organs (antheridiophores) in the shape of umbrellas growing from the haploid thallus of a male plant. (D) Scanning electron micrograph of the surface of a thallus differentiating cup-shaped organs containing propagules (gemmae). Each gemma is able to produce a new plant asexually. (E) Confocal fluorescence maximum projection image of cells surrounding a pore for gas exchange from a transgenic plant expressing a fluorescent protein localized to the endoplasmic reticulum. Scale bars represent 2 cm (A), 5 mm (B and C), 1 mm (D) and 10 μm (E). Photographs by Shohei Yamaoka (A–C), Eduardo Flores-Sandoval (D), and Ryuichi Nishihama (E).
