A morphogenetic study of sporangia-partitioning complex
The bilobed sporangia in the species of Anthoceros, Isoetes and Ophioglossum are described. The morphogenetic importance of the process of "fission" in evolutionary development of sporangia in pteridophytes is discussed.

Infection Efficiency of Four Phytophthora infestans Clonal Lineages and DNA-Based Quantification of Sporangia. [PDF]
The presence and abundance of pathogen inoculum is with host resistance and environmental conditions a key factor in epidemic development. Therefore, several spore-sampling devices have been proposed to monitor pathogen inoculum above fields. However, to

A Weather-Driven Model for Predicting Infections of Grapevines by Sporangia of Plasmopara viticola [PDF]
A mechanistic model was developed to predict secondary infections of Plasmopara viticola and their severity as influenced by environmental conditions; the model incorporates the processes of sporangia production and survival on downy mildew (DM) lesions,

Indehiscent sporangia enable the accumulation of local fern diversity at the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
Background Indehiscent sporangia are reported for only a few of derived leptosporangiate ferns. Their evolution has been likely caused by conditions in which promotion of self-fertilization is an evolutionary advantageous strategy such as the ...

Characterization of Phytophthora nicotianae isolates from tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum) in Colombia [PDF]
The black shank disease caused by Phytophthora nicotianae causes losses in tobacco crops up 100%. In Colombia, P. nicotianae populations are poorly known causing wrong diagnostics and erratic management.

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
