Physcomitrium patens, formerly Physcomitrella patens, has become a more frequently used model species for non-vascular plants. 

There are many advantages in using Physcomitrium, to name a few: 
The organism has a high rate of homologous recombination, allowing precise targeting of gene knockouts and modifications. Advanced techniques of gene editing such as CRISPR-Cas9 has been successfully used for this species. 

Its haploid dominance though the life cycle provides direct identification of mutant phenotypes without any masking effects of a heterozygous diploid genome. 

Physcomitrium patens is more commonly used in studies on stem cell reprogramming, 3D growth initiation and environmental stress responses to cold and heat. Being a bryophyte Physcomitrium offers valuable insights on evolution of land plants. 

Agrisera supports research involving Physcomitrium patens by providing a range of antibodies with confirmed and predicted reactivity for this species.
