Tiny plants with big potential : the power of liverworts Often overlooked, liverworts are making a significant impact. These tiny, ancient plants, part of the bryophyte family, are fascinating and hold remarkable potential for medicine, environmental conservation, and climate science. This hidden potential is at the heart of innovative research of the BRYOMOLECULES project, which […]
What are bryophytes? Bryophytes are a group of non-vascular plants that include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Unlike vascular plants (such as ferns, conifers, and flowering plants), they lack a well-developed system for transporting water and nutrients (vascular tissues like xylem and phloem). As a result, bryophytes rely on their environment for moisture and must live
BRYOMOLECULES project kicks Off in Trento, Italy On October 17, 2024, the BRYOMOLECULES partners gathered in Trento, Italy, marking an exciting beginning to this innovative project. The meeting brought together the project partners including: Our diverse team combining scientific minds and industry innovators will explore insights into the biochemical properties of bryophytes while discovering what
