Figure 5

(A) Expression profiles of the three M. polymorpha CYP73 paralogs in various tissues. Data are derived from the CoNekT database (https://evorepro.sbs.ntu.edu.sg; Proost and Mutwil, 2018), except sporophytes for which data derive from the MarpolBase database (https://marchantia.info/mbex/). (B) RT-qPCR expression analysis of the three MpCYP73 genes in 3-week-old wild-type, Mpcyp73a1-1 and Mpcyp73a1-2 plants. Results are the mean ± SEM of four biological replicates. (C) Representative pictures of 3-week-old wild-type, Mpcyp73a1-1 and Mpcyp73a1-2 plants. (D, E) Quantification of thallus area (D) and gemmae cup number (E) in 3-week-old wild-type, Mpcyp73a1-1 and Mpcyp73a1-2 plants. Results are the mean (pink trait) of measurements made on 29–32 plants. WT versus mutant one-way ANOVA adjusted P-value is displayed. (F) Representative UHPLC-UV chromatograms of 1-month-old wild-type, Mpcyp73a1-1 and Mpcyp73a1-2 crude extracts. (G) Relative quantification of shikimate phenolic esters in 1-month-old wild-type, Mpcyp73a1-1 and Mpcyp73a1-2 plants. C5S, caffeoyl-5-O-shikimate; pC5S, p-coumaroyl-5-O-shikimate. (H) Quantification of hydroxycinnamic acids from saponified extracts of 1-month-old wild-type, Mpcyp73a1-1 and Mpcyp73a1-2 plants. (I) Compositional analysis of the cuticular polymer in 1-month-old wild-type, Mpcyp73a1-1 and Mpcyp73a1-2 plants. (J) Total amount of cuticular monomers in 1-month-old wild-type, Mpcyp73a1-1 and Mpcyp73a1-2 plants. Results in panels (G), (H), (I), and (J) are the mean ± SEM of four independent biological replicates for each genotype. WT versus mutant unpaired t test adjusted P-value: *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. nd, not detected. Source data are available online for this figure.
