Marchatia

Ginny suggested that we should have a page exposing Marchantia and extolling its virtues as a new chassis

yes she did!

Welcome to Mar-Cam-tiamania Land!!

Let us introduce to you to Marchantia Polymorpha.
On this page you can find general information about our little plant, the reasons we love her and her path to being the new chassis for plant Synthetic Biology (and some fun trivia at the end).

    Who is Marchantia?

    Let's leave the botanical jargon and head to the gardens.
    Primitive plants are everywhere and together are called Byrophytes.
      Byrophytes are divided into three groups. In evolutionary order these are:
    • Marchantiaphytes or Liverworts
    • then came
    • Mosses (byrophyta)
    • and finally the
    • Hornworts.
    They have no 'vasculature' or lignin and have regular morphology. But let's not underestimate them. Primitve does not mean fragile; quite the contrary they've had more time to optimize themselves. Poly can be found on all continents.
