Method for working with sterile moss mutants out

Laura Moody's recent paper on 3D growth in Physcomitrella used somatic hybridization to get round the problem that 3D growth-defective mutants don't make gametophores or gametes. The technique she developed used a fluorescent marker line that I started to generate during my post-doctoral work and Yoan Coudert finished making in my lab, and the paper is online today at the New Phytologist- you can read it here.
