Paleo-Polyploidization in Lycophytes
Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics, 2020 Lycophytes and seed plants constitute the typical vascular plants. Lycophytes have been thought to have no paleo-polyploidization although the event is known to be critical for the fast expansion of seed plants.

Shared body plans of lycophytes inferred from root formation of Lycopodium clavatum
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Late Silurian to early Devonian lycophytes had prostrate aerial axes, while subordinate organs or subterranean axes were formed around the dichotomies of the axes. The subterranean axes are hypothesized to have evolved into root-bearing axes (rhizophores)

Patterns in Genome-Wide Codon Usage Bias in Representative Species of Lycophytes and Ferns [PDF]
GenesThe latest research shows that ferns and lycophytes have distinct evolutionary lineages. The codon usage patterns of lycophytes and ferns have not yet been documented. To investigate the gene expression profiles across various plant lineages with respect

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 ...

Plastid Phylogenomics and Plastomic Diversity of the Extant Lycophytes
Genes, 2022 Although extant lycophytes represent the most ancient surviving lineage of early vascular plants, their plastomic diversity has long been neglected. The ancient evolutionary history and distinct genetic diversity patterns of the three lycophyte families,

Genome size evolution of the extant lycophytes and ferns
Plant Diversity, 2022 Ferns and lycophytes have remarkably large genomes. However, little is known about how their genome size evolved in fern lineages. To explore the origins and evolution of chromosome numbers and genome size in ferns, we used flow cytometry to measure the ...

Stomatal behaviour and water relations in ferns and lycophytes across habits and habitats. [PDF]
AoB PlantsStomatal anatomy and behaviour are key to managing gas exchange fluxes, which require coordination with the plant vascular system to adequately supply leaves with water.

Hidden Diversity in the Iberá Wetlands: Fern and Lycophyte Richness and Biogeographic Boundaries [PDF]
PlantsThe Iberá Wetlands in northeastern Argentina constitute the second largest wetland system in South America, yet the fern and lycophyte flora of this region remains poorly documented.

New Phytologist, 2019 Photosynthesis in bryophytes and lycophytes has received less attention than terrestrial plant groups. In particular, few studies have addressed the nonstomatal diffusion conductance to CO2 gnsd of these plant groups.
