Despite long‐time awareness of the importance of the location of buds in plant biology,
research on belowground bud banks has been scant. Terms such as lignotuber, xylopodium …

Abstract Background and Aims Throughout the history of fern classification, familial and
generic concepts have been highly labile. Many classifications and evolutionary schemes …

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

Ferns are the closest sister group to all seed plants, yet little is known about their genomes
other than that they are generally colossal. Here, we report on the genomes of Azolla …

Reconstructing the origin and evolution of land plants and their algal relatives is a
fundamental problem in plant phylogenetics, and is essential for understanding how critical …

Background Although draft genomes are available for most agronomically important plant
species, the majority are incomplete, highly fragmented, and often riddled with assembly …

Ferns are the second-most diverse lineage of vascular plants on Earth, yet the best-sampled
time-calibrated phylogeny of the group to date includes fewer than 5% of global diversity …

Premise of the Study Phylogenetic support has been difficult to evaluate within the green
plant tree of life partly due to a lack of specificity between conflicted versus poorly informed …

Throughout the history of the classification of extant ferns (monilophytes) and lycophytes,
familial and generic concepts have been in great flux. For the organisation of lycophytes and …

We present a revised classification for extant ferns, with emphasis on ordinal and familial
ranks, and a synopsis of included genera. Our classification reflects recently published …
