Transcription factors (TFs) are essential for the regulation of gene expression and cell fate determination. Characterising the transcriptional activity of TF genes in space and time is a critical step towards understanding complex biological systems. The vegetative gametophyte meristems of bryophytes share some characteristics with the shoot-apical meristems of flowering plants. However, the identity and expression profiles of TFs associated with gametophyte organization are largely unknown. With only [~]450 TF genes, Marchantia polymorpha is an outstanding model system for plant systems biology. We have generated a near-complete collection of promoter elements derived from Marchantia TF genes. We experimentally tested in planta reporter fusions for all the TF promoters in the collection and systematically analysed expression patterns in Marchantia gemmae. This allowed us to build a map of precise expression domains and identify a unique set of TFs expressed in the stem-cell zone, providing new insight into the dynamic regulation of the gametophytic meristem and its evolution. In addition, we provide an online database of expression patterns for all promoters in the collection. We expect that the promoter elements characterised here will be useful for cell-type specific expression, synthetic biology applications, and functional genomics.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
