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 ...

Ferns and lycophytes in Brazil's semi-arid region [PDF]
Rodriguésia, 2012 Little knowledge has been gathered on ferns and lycophytes occurring in the semi-arid region of Brazil known as the Caatinga, perhaps due to the widespread idea that a semi-arid climate would be incompatible with environmental demands of ferns and ...

Was the evolution of faster stomata driven by increased gas exchange rates rather than increasing water use efficiency? [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Following changes in light flux, photosynthesis (A) typically adjusts more quickly than stomatal conductance (gs), which is dependent on changes in stomatal aperture. Faster stomatal responses are proposed to reduce water loss and enhance growth in dynamic light environments. Stomatal opening and closing parameters were determined in a range of

Fossil evidence for silica biomineralization in Permian lycophytes. [PDF]
Natl Sci RevThis paper reports the first in-situ fossil evidence for silica biomineralisation in Permian plants. The discovery reinforces the significant role that land plants have played in influencing the evolution of Earth systems in deep time.

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 ...

Root evolution at the base of the lycophyte clade: insights from an Early Devonian lycophyte [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2016 The evolution of complex rooting systems during the Devonian had significant impacts on global terrestrial ecosystems and the evolution of plant body plans. However, detailed understanding of the pathways of root evolution and the architecture of early rooting systems is currently lacking.

Phylogeny, character evolution, and classification of Selaginellaceae (lycophytes)
Plant Diversity, 2023 Selaginella is the largest and most taxonomically complex genus in lycophytes. The fact that over 750 species are currently treated in a single genus makes Selaginellales/Selaginellaceae unique in pteridophytes. Here we assembled a dataset of six existing and newly sampled plastid and nuclear loci with a total of 684 accessions (74% increase of the ...

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2022 Homosporous club mosses have an archaic life cycle, alternating two locationally, nutritionally, and physiologically independent generations. The sexual generation of club mosses—the gametophytes (or prothallia)—are among the least researched botanical ...

NCP activates chloroplast transcription by controlling phytochrome-dependent dual nuclear and plastidial switches. [PDF]
, 2019 Phytochromes initiate chloroplast biogenesis by activating genes encoding the photosynthetic apparatus, including photosynthesis-associated plastid-encoded genes (PhAPGs).
