Uses and Advantages of ''Physcomitrella Patens''

Physcomitrella patens is a useful organism in research because of its high recombination efficiency. This feature allows researchers to easily introduce and knockout genes into the organism.

  • culture methods/procedures
  • status of genetic engineering tools (genetically tractable? transformation procedure? parts available?)
  • important references

Culturing Phycomitrella patens

Culturing Moss
