Sperm motility and anchoring of the spore capsule in spreading earthmoss

As a component of moors, mosses are important for climate conservation. They are also gaining increasing significance in biotechnology and the manufacture of biopharmaceuticals. For the most varied of reasons, mosses are interesting research objects. One reason for this is that they are particularly similar to the first land plants. As a result, they provide insight into the original function of signaling molecules which regulate growth and development in all land plants today.
