Analysis of Comparative Transcriptome and Positively Selected Genes Reveal Adaptive Evolution in Leaf-Less and Root-Less Whisk Ferns

Plants, 2022
While roots and leaves have evolved independently in lycophytes, ferns and seed plants, there is still confusion regarding the morphological evolution of ferns, especially in whisk ferns, which lack true leaves and roots and instead only exhibit leaf ...

Genetic, phenotypic, and ecological differentiation indicate a new cryptic and threatened species in the orchid genus Epidendrum from Alcatrazes Island, southeastern Brazil

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Epidendrum insularis occurs on the remote Alcatrazes Island in the southeastern Brazilian coast. The description of this new cryptic species was only possible by the joint use of molecular markers, reproductive experiments, flower morphometry, functional traits, and community analysis.

Association of water-borne conidial fungi with epiphytic tree fern (Drynaria quercifolia)

Acta Mycologica, 2013
The live and dead tissues, and trapped leaf litter by the epiphytic tree fern Drynaria quercifolia associated with riparian tree species of Konaje (west coast) and Sampaje (Western Ghat) streams of India during dry (summer) and wet (monsoon) seasons ...

Water and Mineral Content of an Epiphytic Fern

American Fern Journal, 1919
Current botanical textbooks usually say little or nothing about the inorganic constituents of epiphytes, and tend to leave the impression in the student's mind that most of these plants derive their nutriment entirely from air and rain, and therefore consist wholly of gaseous elements and carbon (whose oxides are gases).* But every living organism ...

Antioxidant activity of an Epiphyte Fern in Palm Oil Tree

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020
Abstract Vitaria elongata is an epiphytic plant in the Pteridaceae family, which usually grows on palms and wetlands. Other species of this genus have been reported to have cytotoxic and antioxidant activity, but their biological activity was not reported in this species.

Epiphytic ferns in swamp forest remnants of the coastal plain of southern Brazil: latitudinal effects on the plant community

Acta Botânica Brasílica
Community structure and spatial distribution of epiphytic ferns in swamp forest remnants along the coastal plain of the state of Rio Grande do Sul were analyzed. A total of 440 trees were sampled in fifty-seven 10 x 10 m plots.

Diel net CO2 exchange of carnivorous Pinguicula is consistent with low‐level CAM photosynthesis

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In carnivorous butterworts (Pinguicula), CO2 uptake occurs primarily in the light via C3 photosynthesis, yet low‐level CAM photosynthesis, including net CO2 dark fixation, significantly improves the carbon balance of plants, especially under water‐deficit conditions.

High gene flow in epiphytic ferns despite habitat loss and fragmentation [PDF]

Conservation Genetics, 2011
Tropical montane forests suffer from increasing fragmentation and replacement by other types of land-use such as coffee plantations. These processes are known to affect gene flow and genetic structure of plant populations. Epiphytes are particularly vulnerable because they depend on their supporting trees for their entire life-cycle.
