Deductive automated pollen classification in environmental samples via exploratory deep learning and imaging flow cytometry. [PDF]
Summary Pollen and tracheophyte spores are ubiquitous environmental indicators at local and global scales. Palynology is typically performed manually by microscopic analysis; a specialised and time‐consuming task limited in taxonomical precision and sampling frequency, therefore restricting data quality used to inform climate change and pollen ...

Methodologies for soil extraction and conservation analysis of ferns and lycophytes with belowground gametophytes. [PDF]
Abstract Premise Studies of fern and lycophyte gametophyte biology in natural settings can be challenging, but such analyses are critical to understanding the dispersal, ecology, and conservation of these species. It is especially challenging to study species whose gametophytes and early sporophyte stages develop belowground, as is the case for species

Integrative Analysis of <i>Diphasiastrum digitatum</i> Holub: Unveiling Genetic Variation and Ecological Adaptations for Sustainable Ecosystem Management. [PDF]
We convergently derived the evolutionary scenario for a basal lycopod species, Diphasiastrum digitatum, from genotyping data and ecological modeling. This information can better inform decisions about conservation efforts for this and related valuable lycopods. ABSTRACT Understanding the diversity and ecological evolutionary history of plant species is

Non‐seed plants are emerging gene sources for agriculture and insect control proteins
SUMMARY The non‐seed plants (e.g., charophyte algae, bryophytes, and ferns) have multiple human uses, but their contributions to agriculture and research have lagged behind seed plants. While sharing broadly conserved biology with seed plants and the major crops, non‐seed plants sometimes possess alternative molecular and physiological adaptations ...

Evolution of the jasmonate ligands and their biosynthetic pathways
Summary Different plant species employ different jasmonates to activate a conserved signalling pathway in land plants, where (+)‐7‐iso‐JA‐Ile (JA‐Ile) is the ligand for the COI1/JAZ receptor in angiosperms and dn‐cis‐OPDA, dn‐iso‐OPDA and Δ4‐dn‐iso‐OPDA act as ligands in Marchantia polymorpha.

Cell wall-related glycosyltransferases and wall architecture in the model liverwort Marchantia polymorpha. [PDF]
SUMMARY The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha has emerged as an important plant model for developmental studies and may become central to elucidate the complex process of cell wall polysaccharide biosynthesis. This study comprehensively analyses the composition and structure of cell wall glycans across eight different M. polymorpha tissue types.

As the earliest diverging group of extant vascular plants, lycophytes are important for determining how traits such as branching, vasculature, shoot indeterminacy, leaves, and roots evolved. In this review, we describe lycophyte phylogeny, morphology, and genetics in the context of land plant evolution and development.

Climate change may jeopardise reintroduction efforts by altering the conditions of a recipient site beyond the tolerances of the reintroduced population. We use macroecological species distribution models to predict the current and future suitability of a series of raised bog restoration sites for 13 species earmarked for reintroduction.

Evolutionary History of LTR Retrotransposon Chromodomains in Plants
Chromodomain‐containing LTR retrotransposons are one of the most successful groups of mobile elements in plant genomes. Previously, we demonstrated that two types of chromodomains (CHDs) are carried by plant LTR retrotransposons. Chromodomains from group I (CHD_I) were detected only in Tcn1‐like LTR retrotransposons from nonseed plants such as mosses ...
