Land plant spermatozoids commonly possess characteristic structures such as the spline, which consists of a microtubule array, the multilayered structure (MLS) in which the uppermost layer is a continuum of the spline, and multiple flagella. However, the molecular mechanisms underpinning spermatogenesis remain to be elucidated.We successfully identified candidate genes involved in spermatogenesis, deeply divergentBLD10s, by computational analyses combining multiple methods and omics data. We then examined the functions ofBLD10s in the liverwortMarchantia polymorphaand the mossPhyscomitrium patens.MpBLD10and PpBLD10are required for normal basal body (BB) and flagella formation. Mpbld10mutants exhibited defects in remodeling of the cytoplasm and nucleus during spermatozoid formation, and thus MpBLD10should be involved in chromatin reorganization and elimination of the cytoplasm during spermiogenesis.We identified orthologs of MpBLD10 and PpBLD10 in diverse Streptophyta and found that MpBLD10 and PpBLD10 are orthologous to BLD10/CEP135 family proteins, which function in BB assembly. However, BLD10s evolved especially quickly in land plants and MpBLD10 might have acquired additional functions in spermatozoid formation through rapid molecular evolution.
