SLIDE 2 Se Selaginella mo moellendorffii
- Selaginella moellendorffiiis a lycophyte, that is an important model
- rganism to study the early evolution of vascular plant.
- It is a member of an ancient vascular plant lineage that first appeared in
the fossil record some 400 million years ago.
- As the oldest extant division of the vascular plants, they are essential to
understanding the evolution of plant as a whole.

SLIDE 5 Qu Questions need to be answered from m the study y of s. mo moellendorffii transcr criptome
- No transcriptome study on gene modeling, gene expression pattern
were reported for S. moellendorffii.
- Alternative splicing of genes in S. moellendorffii remains a mystery?
- How about long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) ?
- Importantly, the expression profiles and regulation for key genes in
vascular development ?

SLIDE 18 Su Summary
- The deep RNA-seq study of S. moellendorffii discovered extensive
new gene contents, including novel coding genes, lncRNAs, AS events, and refined gene models.
- Compared to flowering vascular plants, S. moellendorffii displayed
a less complexity in both gene structure, alternative splicing, and regulatory elements of vascular development.
- We gained important insight into the evolution of vascular plants,
and the regulation of vascular development genes in a non-seed plant.
