This project aims to identify the extent of overlap between the genetic determinants of the gametophyte and sporophyte shoot meristems. The project expects to generate new knowledge of the evolution and development of land plants by applying comparative genomics and new technologies to a novel model genetic system. Expected outcomes include an elucidation of the genetic basis for one of the key morphological adaptations for life on land. The ability to manipulate the growth and development of plants via the activity of meristems based on fundamental principles has broad agricultural implications.

该项目旨在确定配子体和孢子体芽分生组织的遗传决定因素之间的重叠程度。 该项目期望通过将比较基因组学和新技术应用于新型模型遗传系统，产生有关陆地植物进化和发育的新知识。 预期成果包括阐明陆地生命关键形态适应之一的遗传基础。 基于基本原理通过分生组织的活动来操纵植物生长和发育的能力具有广泛的农业意义。
