Sphaeropteris cooperi: Australian Tree Fern
The Australian tree fern (Sphaeropteris cooperi) is a tropical, single-trunked fern native to eastern Australia, growing 15-30 feet tall. It has finely textured, lacy, bipinnately compound leaves and thrives in USDA zones 10B-11, in well-drained, sandy ...

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.

An open and continuously updated fern tree of life
Ferns, 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 ...

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.

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.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Bolbitis angustipinna (Hayata) H. Ito (Dryopteridaceae) [PDF]
Bolbitis angustipinna (Hayata) H. Ito is a rare ornamental fern primarily distributed throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia. Its complete chloroplast genome was assembled, and a phylogenetic tree was constructed using 15 fern species. The genome is 152,
