Phylogeny has long informed pteridophyte classification. As our ability to infer evolutionary
trees has improved, classifications aimed at recognizing natural groups have become …

This review provides a synopsis of apogamous reproduction in ferns and highlights
important progress made in recent studies of fern apomixis. First, a summary of the apomictic …

Polyploidy, the doubling of genomic content, is a widespread feature, especially among
plants, yet its macroevolutionary impacts are contentious. Traditionally, polyploidy has been …

• Premise of the study: Understanding fern (monilophyte) phylogeny and its evolutionary
timescale is critical for broad investigations of the evolution of land plants, and for providing …

Myco-Nourishment from the Wild: Chemical Analyses of the Nutritional and Amino Acid Profile
of Termitomyces robustus Harvested f Page 1 Volume 4 • Issue 4 • 1000227 Nat Prod Chem …

For ferns and lycophytes, the Neotropics is a hotspot of diversity (3000–4500 species), and
second only to Southeastern Asia in richness and endemism. This paper presents the …

Abstract Background and Aims Asexual reproduction is a prominent evolutionary process
within land plant lineages and especially in ferns. Up to 10% of the approx. 10 000 fern …

Premise In the ferns, cell size has been explored with spores, which are largely uniform
within species, produced in abundance, and durable. However, spore size and shape have …

Ongoing molecular phylogenetic studies of cheilanthoid ferns confirm that the genus
Cheilanthes (Pteridaceae) is polyphyletic. A monophyletic group of species within the …

Background Molecular phylogenetic investigations have revolutionized our understanding of
the evolutionary history of ferns—the second-most species-rich major group of vascular …
