Is There a Key Primer for Amplification of Core Land Plant DNA Barcode Regions (rbcL and matK)? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We use in silico PCR to select and measure the amplification capability of primer. We tested 366 and 489 published primers for the rbcL and matK regions, respectively, using sequences from 8463 different land plant species. Our results indicate a set of primers that effectively cover all land plant sequences, particularly for the rbcL region.

Allocation of Resources to Growth and Spore Production in a Fern <i>Ophioglossum vulgatum</i> L.: Effects of Mowing and Simulated Herbivory. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The study explores how the rare fern Ophioglossum vulgatum allocates resources between growth and reproduction under mowing and simulated herbivory. The results reveal that mowing promotes photosynthetic growth at the expense of spore production, while herbivory shows no significant impact, highlighting the fern's resilience. The findings underline the

Global Diversification Rates of Ferns Across Spatial and Climatic Gradients. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Diversification rates of fern genera across the phylogeny. Abstract Geographic patterns of diversity in any group of plants are the result of the interplay of environmental conditions and the evolutionary dynamics of the respective plant group. Here, the geographic distribution of current mean diversification rates (MDR) is explored at the genus level ...

Transcriptome-mining for single-copy nuclear markers in ferns. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND:Molecular phylogenetic investigations have revolutionized our understanding of the evolutionary history of ferns-the second-most species-rich major group of vascular plants, and the sister clade to seed plants.

Fern flora of Viçosa, Minas Gerais State, Brazil: Dennstaedtiaceae, Lindsaeaceae and Saccolomataceae

Hoehnea, 2023
As part of an ongoing project treating the ferns and lycophytes from the region of Viçosa, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, we here present the taxonomic treatment of the early divergent lineages of the leptosporangiate ferns: the families Dennstaedtiaceae ...

UnigeneFinder: An Automated Pipeline for Gene Calling From Transcriptome Assemblies Without a Reference Genome. [PDF]

Plant Direct
ABSTRACT For most species, transcriptome data are much more readily available than genome data. Without a reference genome, gene calling is cumbersome and inaccurate because of the high degree of redundancy in de novo transcriptome assemblies. To simplify and increase the accuracy of de novo transcriptome assembly in the absence of a reference genome ...

Environmental metagenetics unveil novel plant‐pollinator interactions

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
We used pollen metabarcoding to investigate if honey bees interact with and disperse cells from non‐flowering plants. We discovered that honey bees may serve as dispersal agents for an array of sporophytes (Anchistea, Claytosmunda, Dryopteris, Osmunda, Osmundastrum, Equisetum) and bryophytes (Funaria, Orthotrichum, Sphagnum, Ulota).

Non‐seed plants are emerging gene sources for agriculture and insect control proteins

The Plant Journal, Volume 116, Issue 1, Page 23-37, October 2023., 2023
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 ...
