Significance of gametophyte form in tropical, epiphytic ferns
, 1995 Fern gametophytes are variable in growth form and longevity. Most are short-lived and cordate in outline. Others are long-lived, ribbon-like or filamentous, and clone-forming, and some produce gametophytic gemmae. Literature, field, and laboratory studies reveal that persistent, clone-forming gametophytes are typical of rainforest epiphytes.

Low and facultative mycorrhization of ferns in a low-montane tropical rainforest in Ecuador. [PDF]
PLoS OneArbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are amongst the most studied obligate plant symbionts and regularly found in terrestrial plants. However, global estimates of AMF abundance amongst all land plants are difficult because i) the mycorrhizal status of many

Fern mycorrhizae do not respond to fertilization in a tropical montane forest. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractFerns are known to have a lower incidence of mycorrhization than angiosperms. It has been suggested that this results from carbon being more limiting to fern growth than nutrient availability, but this assertion has not been tested yet.

Germination fitness of two temperate epiphytic ferns shifts under increasing temperatures and forest fragmentation [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Ferns are an important component of ecosystems around the world. Studies of the impacts that global changes may have on ferns are scarce, yet emerging studies indicate that some species may be particularly sensitive to climate change.

Two out of one: revising the diversity of the epiphytic fern genus Scleroglossum (Polypodiaceae, Grammitidoideae) in southern China. [PDF]
PhytoKeys, 2019 Our understanding of the flora of China has greatly improved during the last 100 years but effective management of the rich biodiversity and unique natural resources requires resolving the taxonomic limitations of existing treatments.

Evolution of molecular communication in the permanent Azolla symbiosis. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Heritable symbioses exist across eukaryotes with different degrees of intimacy. In most cases, the symbionts are obligate and require inheritance for their survival. On the host side, symbiont retention can facilitate fitness benefits. Only rarely are these symbioses interwoven to the point that host survival relies on the symbiont.

Taxonomic Studies of some Epiphytic Ferns of Upper Brahmaputra Valley, Assam
International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, 2022 Abstract: Epiphytic ferns prefer habitats on tree trunks of large trees like Ficus sp., Mangifera sp. etc in common and forest areas of Upper Brahmaputra Valley, Assam. Species like Microsorum punctatum, Asplenium nidus, Pyrrosia lanceolata, Drymoglossum sp. are grown abundantly in common areas.

Sequencing of small RNAs of the fern Pleopeltis minima (Polypodiaceae) offers insight into the evolution of the microrna repertoire in land plants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, single stranded RNA molecules that regulate the stability and translation of messenger RNAs in diverse eukaryotic groups. Several miRNA genes are of ancient origin and have been maintained in the genomes of animal and plant ...
