This review highlights the unique advantages of <italic>P. patens</italic> for autophagy research, including its efficient homologous recombination in mitotic cells, simple body plan, haploid-presiding life cycle, and accessibility to microscopic observation. I discuss recent advances in understanding autophagy mechanisms in <italic>P. patens</italic>, particularly focusing on the role of core autophagy-related (ATG) genes in growth, development, stress responses, and cell death. The characterization of autophagy-deficient mutants revealed unexpected roles of autophagy in promoting cell death under oxidative stress and desiccation, in contrast with classical survival functions. I also examine the conservation and divergence of the autophagy machinery between mosses and vascular plants, emphasizing how <italic>P. patens</italic> bridges evolutionary gaps in our understanding of plant autophagy. Finally, I outline future perspectives on the use of this model system to address fundamental questions about selective autophagy, autophagosome dynamics, and the integration of autophagy with developmental programs. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
