| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to investigate the evolution of the multicellular body plan in land plants and charophycean algae, in this study, we compared their multicellular gametophyte and sporophyte generations based on their genes and genomes. We identified the developmental genes specifically expressed in different tissues/cells of C. braunii. Moreover, we explored the expression/function of these developmental genes in charalean algae in detail and discussed the evolution of the multicellular body plan in land plants and charophycean algae. We were also tried to introduce the exogenous gene into Chara cells using the native promoter of the Chara gene by microinjection and particle bombardment.
