Physcomitrella patens in vitro cultivation and schematic representation of a knockout construct for gene targeting. (A) young filamentous tissue, protonema, ideal for suspension cultures; (B) adult leafy moss plant (gametophore); (C) protoplasts; (D) small scale liquid culture in flasks; (E) stirred tank bioreactor; (F) wave bioreactor (image courtesy of greenovation Biotech GmbH); (G) illustration of allele replacement via homologous recombination. The regions homologous to the targeted gene, which are used for the knockout construct, are shown in gray, and the inserted selection cassette is depicted in white. Thick lines represent introns and rectangles exons. Scale bars 50 μm (A,B), 500 μm (C).
