Abstract
NUTRITIONALLY deficient mutants of microorganisms have provided valuable tools for investigating biosynthetic pathways. Relatively few examples of such mutants are known in ‘higher’ plants1,2. Methods have been devised to obtain nutritionally deficient mutants of a liverwort species, Marchantia polymorpha.
