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

Exploring the High Variability of Vegetative Desiccation Tolerance in Pteridophytes
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.

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 ...

Pteridophytes Diversity and Distribution Along The Elevational Gradient of Mount Penanggungan's Hiking Trail, East Java, Indonesia [PDF]
Jurnal Biodjati, 2023 Pteridophytes (ferns) are a fundamental element of tropical rainforests, which provide excellent microhabitats for their development. In addition, the sensitivity of pteridophytes to shifts in microclimate and anthropogenic disturbances makes them ...

Determination of Total Soluble Sugars in Pteridophytes Using the Anthrone Method [PDF]
Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract 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]
American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract 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 ...

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.

The PteridoPortal: A publicly accessible collection of over three million records of extant and extinct pteridophytes [PDF]
Appl Plant SciPremise Pteridophytes—vascular land plants that disperse by spores—are a powerful system for studying plant evolution, particularly with respect to the impact of abiotic factors on evolutionary trajectories through deep time.

Spatial diversity and distribution of fern and lycophyte species in karst and non-karst landscapes towards conservation needs [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceKarst formations are distinguished by their high levels of species diversity and endemism, including ferns and lycophytes. However, the existing data on plant community composition in karst formations remains deficient. Addressing these knowledge gaps is
