Definition

Bryophytes:

All land plants that are considered nonvascular.

Nonvascular plants:

Plants without specialized tissue for transporting water and/or nutrients.

Lycophyte:

Division of plants assumed to be among the first vascular plants.

Diploid:

Genome contains two copies of each chromosome.

Haploid:

Genome contains only one copy of each chromosome.

Knock-out mutation:

Mutation that results in a complete loss-of-function of a gene.

Protonema:

Filamentous, rootlike tissue of young moss plants.

Gametophore:

Leaf-like tissue of adult moss plants.

The moss Physcomitrella patens

The model organism Physcomitrella patensis a bryophyte and a moss in the family of Funariacease. Bryophytes are divided into the three classes Hepaticophytina (liverworts), Bryophytina (mosses), and Anthocerophytina...
