Twenty-nine genes for 27 species of tRNAs were deduced from the complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome from a liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha. One to three species of tRNA genes corresponded to each of 20 amino acids including three species for leucine and arginine, two species

The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) phenanthrene (PHEN) is a highly toxic pollutant, commonly found in aquatic environments, the effects of which on aquatic plants have not been studied in depth. As PAHs are known to induce oxidative stress and recent studies have shown that polyamines (PAs)

Protamines are small, highly specialized, arginine-rich, intrinsically disordered chromosomal proteins that replace histones during spermiogenesis in many organisms. Previous evidence supports the notion that, in the animal kingdom, these proteins have evolved from a primitive

We characterized the genes in the regions of large inverted repeats (IRA and IRB, 10,058 base-pairs each) and a small single copy (SSC 19,813 bp) of chloroplast DNA from Marchantia polymorpha. The inverted repeat (IR) regions contain genes for four ribosomal RNAs (16 S, 23 S, 4.5 S and 5 S rRNAs)

The nucleotide sequence (25,320 base-pairs) of a part of the large single-copy region of chloroplast DNA from the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha was determined. This region encodes putative genes for four tRNAs, isoleucine tRNA(CAU), arginine tRNA(CCG), proline tRNA(UGG) and tryptophan tRNA(CCA);

The transport of several amino acids with different side-chain characteristics has been investigated in the aquatic liverwort Riccia fluitans. i) The saturation of system I (neutral amino acids) by addition of excess α-aminoisobutyric acid to the external medium completely eliminated the electrical
