Desiccation tolerance in bryophytes relates to elasticity but is independent of cell wall thickness and photosynthesis. [PDF]
Abstract Mosses have been found outliers of the trade‐off between photosynthesis and bulk elastic modulus described for vascular plants. Hence, potential trade‐offs among physical features of cell walls and desiccation tolerance, water relations, and photosynthesis were assessed in bryophytes and other poikilohydric species.

TRB proteins in moss reveal their evolutionarily conserved roles in plant development and telomere maintenance. [PDF]
Significance Statement TRB proteins in the moss P. patens are essential for normal development, telomere maintenance, and transcriptional regulation. Our findings demonstrate the evolutionary conservation of TRB functions across land plants and highlight their ancient origin in streptophytes.

The leaf morphology of Selaginella species from subtropical South America show differences in structure and ultrastructure that are useful for species identification. We studied the following epidermal traits: micromorphology of stomatal types, distribution patterns of silica cells, silica cells and silica bodies of Selaginella convoluta, S ...

Paleoclimatic implications of Lycophyta in the Gondwana of Southern Brazil [PDF]
As Lycophyta desempenharam importante papel para o desenvolvimento das associações florísticas durante o Permiano no Gondwana do sul do Brasil (Estado do Rio Grande do Sul). As afinidades botânicas de palinomorfos como Lundbladispora, Vallatisporites, Cristatisporites e impressões e compressões de Lycophyta sugerem que o clímax deste grupo ocorreu ...

Structure of wall layers inSelaginella kraussianamicrospores (Lycophyta)
A similarity was found in both construction and ultrastructure between the two exospore layers in microspores of Selaginella kraussiana. The exospore is made up of two different kinds of rods. One of the kinds of rods are large, 100-150 nm in width, while the other are tubular rods 10-15 nm in diameter.

Roots of angiosperm formins: The evolutionary history of plant FH2 domain-containing proteins [PDF]
Background Shuffling of modular protein domains is an important source of evolutionary innovation. Formins are a family of actin-organizing proteins that share a conserved FH2 domain but their overall domain architecture differs dramatically between ...

A conspectus of and key to greek isoetes (Isoetaceae), based on a reassessment of haussknecht\u2019s gatherings of 1885 [PDF]
The three Isoetes species recorded from Thessalia (Thessaly) in N Greece by Haussknecht, in 1899, under the names I. setacea, I. heldreichii, and I. phrygia, were reassessed using megaspore and microspore ornamentation in addition to macromorphological ...

Microspore Morphology of Isoetes Species (Lycophyta) from Southern South America
Abstract Microspores of the 24 species of Isoetes that grow in southern South America were analyzed under a light microscope and scanning electron microscope. The microspores are monolete, elliptic in polar view, 30–40 µm long, and 20–25 µm wide. A background with various characteristics is seen on each surface.
