Abstract
The study of moss calyptra form and function began almost 250 years ago, but calyptra research has remained a niche endeavor focusing on only a small number of species. Recent advances have focused on calyptra cuticular waxes, which function in dehydration protection of the immature sporophyte apex. The physical presence of the calyptra also plays a role in sporophyte development, potentially via its influence on auxin transport. Progress developing genomic resources for mosses beyond the model Physcomitrium patens, specifically for species with larger calyptrae and taller sporophytes, in combination with advances in CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing will enable the influence of the calyptra on gene expression and the production of RNAs and proteins that coordinate sporophyte development to be explored.
