Water-Deficit Stress in the Epiphytic Elkhorn Fern: Insight into Photosynthetic Response

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Progressive climate changes cause disturbance of water relations in tropical rainforests, where epiphytic ferns are an important element of biodiversity. In these plants, the efficiency of photosynthesis is closely related to the efficiency of water transport. In addition, due to the lack of contact with the soil, epiphytes are extremely susceptible to

First Fossil Record of Trichomanes sensu lato (Hymenophyllaceae) from the Mid-Cretaceous Kachin Amber, Myanmar [PDF]

Life, 2023
Hymenophyllaceae (filmy ferns), with ca. 430 species, are the most species-rich family of early diverging leptosporangiate ferns but have a poor fossil record dating back to the Late Triassic period.

Crassulacean acid metabolism in the epiphytic fern Patycerium bifurcatum

Photosynthetica, 2008
The epiphytic fern Platycerium bifurcatum grows in different habitats characterized by drought and high irradiance stress. The plant shows diurnal malate oscillations, indicative for CAM expression only in cover leaves, but not in sporotrophophyll. In P.

Suspended soils enrich local forest floor soils during the rainy season in a tropical monsoon rainforest of Hainan Island, South China [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionEpiphytic plants are abundant in rainforests and often serve as traps for litter and dust falling from the canopy. As it accumulates, this material can form nutrient rich soils, which are likely involved in local nutrient cycling and ...

Morphological and molecular variations in the epiphytic CAM fern Pyrrosia piloselloides

Biologia Plantarum, 1998
Variation in shape and size of mature sterile fronds of the epiphytic fern, Pyrrosia piloselloides (L.) Price, was observed. These morphological differences were also linked to genotypic variations of the different fern populations studied. Genetic polymorphism in different populations of P.

DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF FERN SPECIES IN SELECTED TRAIL IN KUANTAN PAHANG [PDF]

Science Heritage Journal, 2018
A study on the diversity and distribution of terrestrial and epiphytic fern in Kuantan, Pahang was conducted from January to November 2017. Fourteen species of both terrestrial and epiphytic ferns, respectively have been collected and examined from five ...

Desiccation and rehydration dynamics in the epiphytic resurrection fern Pleopeltis polypodioides [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2021
Abstract The epiphytic resurrection—or desiccation-tolerant (DT)—fern Pleopeltis polypodioides can survive extreme desiccation and recover physiological activity within hours of rehydration. Yet, how epiphytic DT ferns coordinate between deterioration and recovery of their hydraulic and photosynthetic systems remains poorly understood ...

Survival and Growth of Epiphytic Ferns Depend on Resource Sharing [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Locally available resources can be shared within clonal plant systems through physiological integration, thus enhancing their survival and growth. Most epiphytes exhibit clonal growth habit, but few studies have tested effects of physiological integration (resource sharing) on survival and growth of epiphytes and whether such effects vary with species.
