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

Evolution of genome space occupation in ferns: linking genome diversity and species richness. [PDF]
Background and Aims:The dynamics of genome evolution caused by whole genome duplications and other processes are hypothesized to shape the diversification of plants and thus contribute to the astonishing variation in species richness among the main ...

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

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

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

Environmental metagenetics unveil novel plant‐pollinator interactions
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
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 ...
