Evolution and expression of LEAFY genes in ferns and lycophytes [PDF]
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 ...

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 ...

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)

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.

The evolution of aluminum accumulation in ferns and lycophytes [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2017 PREMISE OF THE STUDY:This paper investigates the occurrence and evolution of aluminum (Al) accumulation within ferns and lycophytes, which is characterized by Al concentrations above 1000 mg·kg−1 in aboveground plant tissues. We hypothesize that this feature is more common in ferns than in angiosperms, and potentially correlated with growth form and ...
