Exploring the High Variability of Vegetative Desiccation Tolerance in Pteridophytes [PDF]
Plants, 2022 In the context of plant evolution, pteridophytes, which is comprised of lycophytes and ferns, occupy an intermediate position between bryophytes and seed plants, sharing characteristics with both groups.

Mycorrhizal association and its relation with pteridophytes [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyMycorrhizal association is one of the earliest and diversely distributed symbiotic associations on the Earth. This association helped early terrestrial plants to colonize the land by improved supply of nutrients like phosphate, nitrogen and zinc. It also

Medicinal pteridophytes: ethnopharmacological, phytochemical, and clinical attributes
Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2022 Background Almost from the very beginning of human existence, man has been interacting with plants. Throughout human history, plants have provided humans with basic needs such as sustenance, firewood, livestock feed, and wood. The world has approximately

Pteridophytes as ecological indicators: an overview
Hoehnea, 2019 The pteridophytes present a great but poorly explored potential as ecological indicators (EIs), shown only in some sparse studies. Therefore, to analyze this potential, we reviewed published articles, websites, or books with pteridophytes as EIs ...

Origins of the seed: The “golden-trio hypothesis” [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The seed is an evolutionary innovation in the plant kingdom. While human civilization depends heavily on seed production, how the seed trait emerged remains elusive.

Étude de la diversité floristique des ptéridophytes à Brazzaville, Congo
VertigO, 2018 study of the floristic diversity of pteridophytes is carried out in the urban forest ecosystem of Brazzaville which is very damaged by anthropogenic actions and whose flora, in particular the pteridophytes are poorly known.

South African Journal of Botany, 2011 AbstractStudy of phytoliths of pteridophytes is an emerging area of research. Literature on this aspect is limited but increasing. Some recent findings have shown that phytoliths may have systematic and phylogenetic utility in pteridophytes. Phytoliths are functionally significant for the development and survival of pteridophytes. Experiments with some

Determination of Total Soluble Sugars in Pteridophytes Using the Anthrone Method. [PDF]
Curr ProtocAbstract Sugars serve as crucial integrators of both internal and environmental signals in plants, shaping the regulation of diverse physiological processes that occur throughout the plant's life span, from early embryogenesis to later senescence stages. During evolution, plants have developed various strategies to cope with abiotic stress. For example,

Shaped by context: Evolutionary trajectories of desiccation tolerance in land plants. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Desiccation tolerance (DT), the ability to survive near‐complete cellular dehydration, is widespread in diaspores but rare in the vegetative tissues of land plants. The patchy and punctuated phylogenetic distribution of vegetative desiccation tolerance (VDT) suggests that the trait is both ancient and recurrent, yet the evolutionary ...
