| — | MpPINZ missing | experimental subject | Sole canonical PIN auxin transporter of Marchantia polymorpha, functionally studied here: GFP-fusion retained auxin export, overexpression caused striking thallus growth phenotypes, and it showed tissue-specific PM localization (no polarity in gemma epidermis, accumulation at emerging rhizoid sites). Its polarization depended on microtubules and, when expressed in Arabidopsis roots, it localized basally, illustrating divergence of PIN trafficking/polarization across land plant evolution. |
