The flying spider-monkey tree fern genome provides insights into fern evolution and arborescence. [PDF]
AbstractTo date, little is known about the evolution of fern genomes, with only two small genomes published from the heterosporous Salviniales. Here we assembled the genome of Alsophila spinulosa, known as the flying spider-monkey tree fern, onto 69 pseudochromosomes.

Enhancing In Vitro Production of the Tree Fern Cyathea delgadii and Modifying Secondary Metabolite Profiles by LED Lighting. [PDF]
The tree ferns are an important component of tropical forests. In view of this, the enhancement of in vitro production of these plants is needed. Thus, the effect of different light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as well as control fluorescent lamps (Fl) and a 3-

First Multi-Organ Full-Length Transcriptome of Tree Fern Alsophila spinulosa Highlights the Stress-Resistant and Light-Adapted Genes. [PDF]
Alsophila spinulosa, a relict tree fern, is a valuable plant for investigating environmental adaptations. Its genetic resources, however, are scarce. We used the PacBio and Illumina platforms to sequence the polyadenylated RNA of A.

Slowly but surely: gradual diversification and phenotypic evolution in the hyper-diverse tree fern family Cyatheaceae. [PDF]
Background and Aims The tremendously unbalanced distribution of species richness across clades in the tree of life is often interpreted as the result of variation in the rates of diversification, which may themselves respond to trait evolution.

Tree Fern Cyathea lepifera May Survive by Its Phytotoxic Property. [PDF]
Cyatheaceae (tree ferns) appeared during the Jurassic period and some of the species still remain. Those species may have some morphological and/or physiological characteristics for survival.

Genetic and morphological identification of a recurrent Dicksonia tree fern hybrid in New Zealand. [PDF]
Hybridization is common in many ferns and has been a significant factor in fern evolution and speciation. However, hybrids are rare between the approximately 30 species of Dicksonia tree ferns world-wide, and none are well documented.

An Open and Continuously Updated Fern Tree of Life
1AbstractFerns, with about 12,000 species, are the second most diverse lineage of vascular plants after angiosperms. They have been the subject of numerous molecular phylogenetic studies, resulting in the publication of trees for every major clade and DNA sequences from nearly half of all species.
