ferns and fern allies,   etc   ; geographical distribution; species diversity;     Show all 3 Subjects
Abstract:
... Despite that several studies have shown that data derived from species lists generated from distribution occurrence records in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) are not appropriate for those ecological and biogeographic studies that require high sampling completeness, because species lists derived from GBIF are generally very incomplete, Suissa et al. (2021) generated fern specie ...

Abstract:
... Hybridisation has been proposed to play an important role in fern evolution, but has been difficult to investigate. This study explores the utility of target sequence capture and read-to-reference phasing of putative hybrids to investigate the role of evolutionary reticulation in ferns using Australian Thelypteridaceae as a model. The bioinformatics workflow HybPhaser was used to assess divergence ...

ferns and fern allies,   etc   ; DNA; DNA barcoding; community ecology; diploidy; gametophytes; haploidy; sporophytes;     Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Ferns and lycophytes are unique among land plants in having sporophyte (diploid) and gametophyte (haploid) generations that can grow independently of each other. While most studies of fern ecology focus on the more visible sporophytic stage, the gametophyte is critically important, as it is the sexual phase of the life cycle. Yet, fern gametophytes have long been neglected in field studies due to ...

Abstract:
... Prescribed burning is increasingly used to reduce the wildfire risk, and the need to limit runoff and erosion after the fire suggests treating burned soils with mulching. To this aim, fern residues may be more advisable compared to the commonly used straw, since fern is directly available in forests and has lower drawbacks. However, the post-fire hydrological effects of both prescribed fire and so ...

Abstract:
... Vandenboschia speciosa is an endangered tetraploid fern species with a large genome (10.5 Gb). Its geographical distribution is characterized by disjoined tertiary flora refuges, with relict populations that survived past climate crises. Here, we analyzed the transposable elements (TEs) and found that they comprise approximately 76% of the V. speciosa genome, thus being the most abundant type of D ...

Abstract:
... In southeast Florida an association between the shoestring fern (Vittaria lineata) and the pantropical moss Octoblepharum albidum is conspicuous on cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto) trunks. As determined from quadrat studies, for maturing sporophytes, but not for gametophytes and tiny sporophytes, the frequency of association exceeded that expected by chance. The positive association suggests the moss ...

Abstract:
... Increased nutrient supply can have drastic effects on natural ecosystems, especially in naturally nutrient-poor ones such as most tropical rainforests. Many studies have focused on the reaction of trees to fertilization, but little is known about herbaceous plants. Ferns are a particularly common group in tropical forests, spanning all vegetation types and zones. Here, we assess how seven years of ...

Abstract:
... PREMISE: Few studies have explored competition in fern gametophyte populations. One limiting factor is the tedious measurement of gametophyte size as a proxy for biomass in these small plants. Here, an alternative approach of estimating the number of green pixels from photos was employed to measure the competitive interactions among apomictic and sexual Dryopteris gametophytes. METHODS: We cultiva ...

Abstract:
... Pteris vittata is an arsenic (As) hyperaccumulator that can accumulate several thousand mg As kg⁻¹ DW in aboveground biomass. A key factor for its hyperaccumulation ability is its highly efficient As long‐distance translocation system. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unknown. We isolated PvAsE1 through the full‐length cDNA over‐expression library of P. vittata and characterized ...

Abstract:
... Recent results suggest that metabolism‐mediated stomatal closure mechanisms are important to regulate differentially the stomatal speediness between ferns and angiosperms. However, evidence directly linking mesophyll metabolism and the slower stomatal conductance (gₛ) in ferns is missing. Here, we investigated the effect of exogenous application of abscisic acid (ABA), sucrose and mannitol on stom ...
