Fern Gametophytes Exhibit Distinct Patterns of Niche Expansion and Convergence in Ecophysiological Functioning [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionFerns exhibit extraordinary ecological diversity, and their independent gametophyte and sporophyte stages make them distinct among other plant groups, yet the extent to which gametophyte and sporophyte ecology are coordinated is unknown.

Reproduction Multitasking: The Male Gametophyte
Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2021 The gametophyte represents the sexual phase in the alternation of generations in plants; the other, nonsexual phase is the sporophyte. Here, we review the evolutionary origins of the male gametophyte among land plants and, in particular, its ontogenesis in flowering plants.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Multiannual delayed gametophyte cultures can stay vegetative for years, while also having the ability to grow. This study aims to investigate whether male and female multiannual delayed gametophyte strains of the species Saccharina latissima and Alaria ...

The Arabidopsis Book, 2011 The angiosperm female gametophyte is critical for plant reproduction. It contains the egg cell and central cell that become fertilized and give rise to the embryo and endosperm of the seed, respectively. Female gametophyte development begins early in ovule development with the formation of a diploid megaspore mother cell that undergoes meiosis.

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2022 Premise The entire life cycle of ferns has been documented, yet their life histories are still poorly understood. In particular, the phenology of fern gametophytes remains largely unknown.

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2022 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.

Female Gametophyte Development [PDF]
THE PLANT CELL ONLINE, 2004 Early in their evolution, plants acquired a life cycle that alternates between a multicellular haploid organism, the gametophyte, and a multicellular diploid organism, the sporophyte. Angiosperms have both female and male gametophytes.

It’s the Little Things: The Role of Microscopic Life Stages in Maintaining Kelp Populations
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Kelp forests are experiencing broad scale declines in abundance and shifts in latitudinal ranges in many areas of the world due to numerous environmental stressors, especially those associated with climate change.
