| Screen | Identification of Lesion | References |
|---|---|---|
| Isolated ABA mutants | Crossed mutant plants to a distinct ecotype and performed whole-genome sequencing on pooled mutants derived from the cross | (Stevenson et al., 2016) |
| Temperature-sensitive mutant screen identifying mutants that are unable to grow protonemata at the restrictive temperature | Crossed mutant plants to a distinct ecotype and performed whole-genome sequencing on pooled mutants derived from the cross | (Ding et al., 2018) |
| Isolated mutants that were unable to form gametophores in an effort to find genes involved in the transition from two-dimensional to three-dimensional growth | Took advantage of the ability of moss to form somatic hybrids; crossed two somatic hybrids to generate a mapping population and performed whole-genome sequencing on mutants derived from the cross | (Moody et al., 2018a) |
