Complete chloroplast genome of Sphaeropteris brunoniana (Cyatheaceae) [PDF]
Illumina sequencing was employed to determine the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Sphaeropteris brunoniana (S. brunoniana), which is a relict fern. The cp genome of S. brunoniana is indeed a circular DNA molecule with 156,659 bp. It includes

Characterization and analysis of multi-organ full-length transcriptomes in Sphaeropteris brunoniana and Alsophila latebrosa highlight secondary metabolism and chloroplast RNA editing pattern of tree ferns [PDF]
Background Sphaeropteris brunoniana and Alsophila latebrosa are both old relict and rare tree ferns, which have experienced the constant changes of climate and environment. However, little is known about their high-quality genetic information and related

Palynological analysis of Sphaeropteris gardneri (Cyatheaceae, Pteridophyta) [PDF]
The spore morphology and wall ultrastructure of Sphaeropteris gardneri (Hook.) R.M. Tryon from Brazil were analyzed with LM, SEM and TEM. The spores are trilete with an ornamentation formed of short low ridges with spines in their margins.

Non-chlorophyllous and crypto-chlorophyllous fern spores differ in their mobilisation of fatty acids during priming. [PDF]
Abstract During fern spore germination, lipid hydrolysis primarily provides the energy to activate their metabolism. In this research, fatty acids (linoleic, oleic, palmitic and stearic) were quantified in the spores exposed or not to priming (hydration–dehydration treatments).

Fern Spores—“Ready-to-Use” Standards for Plant Genome Size Estimation Using a Flow Cytometric Approach [PDF]
Spores and pollen of plants were used as flow cytometric materials to efficiently infer genome sizes. Given this advantage, they hold great potential for various flow cytometric applications, particularly as plant genome size standards.

Actinostachys minuta, a new species of grass fern from Mindanao, Philippines [PDF]
Actinostachys minuta Amoroso & Coritico (Schizaeaceae), from Mindanao, Philippines, is described herein as a new species. This species is distinguished from all other species of Actinostachys (grass ferns) by its notably short and narrow fronds ...
