On the cover of New Phytologist volume 252, issue 5: The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha reproduces asexually through clonal propagules called gemmae. Gemma formation is controlled by a developmental program that balances auxin levels and restricts gemma-cell identity through the conserved microRNA MpmiR166A, which targets the transcription factor MpC3HDZ. The image depicts a gemma deficient in microRNA production due to mutations in MpDCL1a, a key enzyme in miRNA biogenesis; reduced MpmiR166a levels disrupt auxin homeostasis and release the repression of MpC3HDZ, leading to the formation of supernumerary meristems and papillae (pink), precursors of gemmae (blue) and ectopic gemmae (yellow), that emerge from the epidermal surface.
