The Glycosyltransferase Repertoire of the Spikemoss Selaginella moellendorffii and a Comparative Study of Its Cell Wall (2012, positive): “The moss Physcomitrella patens is the only non-vascular terrestrial plant and the only other non-angiosperm plant that has had its genome sequenced, and it is thus particularly important to the comparative genomic study of S. moellendorffii [4].”

Insights into Land Plant Evolution Garnered from the Marchantia polymorpha Genome. (2017, background): “As in other non-seed plants (Banks et al., 2011; Rensing et al., 2008), genes encoding a distinct ethylene-forming enzyme (ACO) that is characteristic of seed plants are not present in M. polymorpha.”
Auxin conjugates: their role for plant development and in the evolution of land plants. (2011, background): “Interestingly, the sequence of the P. patens genome did not reveal any close homologues to auxin amidohydrolases (Rensing et al., 2008; Ludwig-Müller et al., 2009a) when compared with the complete database (NCBI BLAST).”
Phylogeny and Molecular Evolution of the Green Algae (2012, background): “Ecophysiological adaptations of the first land plants included enhanced osmoregulation and osmoprotection, desiccation and freezing tolerance, and heat resistance (Rensing et al., 2008).”
Molecular Basis of the Core Regulatory Network in ABA Responses: Sensing, Signaling and Transport (2010, background): “For example, group A PP2Cs function as signaling factors for ABA responses in mosses and liverworts ( Rensing et al. 2008 , Komatsu et al. 2009 , Tougane et al. 2010 ).”
The OMA orthology database in 2015: function predictions, better plant support, synteny view and other improvements (2014, background): “In the latest release, we have added Selaginella moellendorffii (a lycophyte) as the deepest branching vascular plant and Physcomitrella patens (a bryophyte) as a representative of the non-vascular plants, thus widening the taxon set to cover ∼450 million years of plant evolution (30).”
