A morphogenetic study of sporangia-partitioning complex
The bilobed sporangia in the species of Anthoceros, Isoetes and Ophioglossum are described. The morphogenetic importance of the process of "fission" in evolutionary development of sporangia in pteridophytes is discussed.

Chemotaxis of Bracken Spermatozoids : The Role of Bimalate Ions [PDF]
1. Bracken spermatozoids are chemotactically attracted by malic acid salts and in a pH gradient aggregate between pH 3.5 and 5.6. 2. This response to pH occurs only when the sperm suspension contains malate. 3. At higher pH's, the response to an H+

The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission
This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

Biogeochemical ecology of six species of Sphagnum in Costa Rica [PDF]
There is very little information on the biogeochemical ecology of Sphagnum species in tropical regions. The majority of the ecological information on Sphagnum species in the tropics consists of general habitat information and pH values that are reported ...

ABSTRACT Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a water‐efficient photosynthetic strategy involving a coordinated suite of complex traits including metabolic, anatomical and regulatory aspects that shift across the diel cycle. While CAM has evolved repeatedly in land plants, the evolutionary routes enabling this convergence remain elusive.

Phylogenomics indicates the "living fossil" Isoetes diversified in the Cenozoic.
The fossil record provides an invaluable insight into the temporal origins of extant lineages of organisms. However, establishing the relationships between fossils and extant lineages can be difficult in groups with low rates of morphological change over

This study examined the germination adaptations to hypoxia of species along a plant zonation in Mediterranean temporary ponds, highlighting the key traits that support their survival and regeneration. Abstract Mediterranean temporary ponds (MTPs) are dynamic habitats where low levels of dissolved oxygen can significantly impact plant life.
