Asplenium bird’s nest ferns in rainforest canopies are climate-contingent refuges for frogs

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2014
Epiphytes are important for canopy dwelling organisms because they provide a cool and moist microhabitat in the relatively hot and dry canopy. Here we examine whether epiphytic Asplenium ferns act as important habitats for arboreal frogs.

Evolution and expression of LEAFY genes in ferns and lycophytes

EvoDevo, 2022
Background The LEAFY (LFY) transcription factors are present in algae and across land plants. The available expression and functional data of these genes in embryophytes suggest that LFY genes control a plethora of processes including the first zygotic ...

Comparing vegetative effects of domestic stock and feral goats as ungulate herbivores in Waingaro: Year 1 results [PDF]

, 2006
Fencing remnant native vegetation has become a widespread activity throughout New Zealand to increase native biodiversity. However, there have not been many studies to show if this is an effective approach when feral goats (Capra hircus) are present. The

Genome-wide identification of five fern bHLH families and functional analysis of bHLHs in lignin biosynthesis in Alsophila spinulosa

BMC Genomics
Background The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors are involved in the biosynthesis of various secondary metabolites. However, genome-wide studies on the bHLH gene family in ferns and their role in lignin biosynthesis remain limited.

Squalene Cyclases and Cycloartenol Synthases from Polystichum polyblepharum and Six Allied Ferns

Molecules, 2018
Ferns are the most primitive of all vascular plants. One of the characteristics distinguishing them from flowering plants is its triterpene metabolism. Most cyclic triterpenes in ferns are hydrocarbons derived from the direct cyclization of squalene by ...
