A community‐derived classification for extant lycophytes and ferns
PPG I - Journal of systematics and evolution, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Phylogeny has long informed pteridophyte classification. As our ability to infer evolutionary
trees has improved, classifications aimed at recognizing natural groups have become …

The evolution, morphology, and development of fern leaves
Leaves are lateral determinate structures formed in a predictable sequence (phyllotaxy) on
the flanks of an indeterminate shoot apical meristem. The origin and evolution of leaves in …

Single-molecule sequencing and optical map** yields an improved genome of woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca) with chromosome-scale contiguity
Background Although draft genomes are available for most agronomically important plant
species, the majority are incomplete, highly fragmented, and often riddled with assembly …

A linear sequence of extant families and genera of lycophytes and ferns
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 …

Recently formed polyploid plants diversify at lower rates
Polyploidy, the doubling of genomic content, is a widespread feature, especially among
plants, yet its macroevolutionary impacts are contentious. Traditionally, polyploidy has been …

The physiological resilience of fern sporophytes and gametophytes: advances in water relations offer new insights into an old lineage
Ferns are some of the oldest vascular plants in existence and they are the second most
diverse lineage of tracheophytes next to angiosperms. Recent efforts to understand fern …

Fern phylogeny inferred from 400 leptosporangiate species and three plastid genes
In an effort to obtain a solid and balanced approximation of global fern phylogeny to serve
as a tool for addressing large‐scale evolutionary questions, we assembled and analyzed …

The evolutionary history of ferns inferred from 25 low‐copy nuclear genes
• 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 …

[PDF][PDF] Fern classification
Over the past 70 years, many fern classifications, nearly all based on morphology, most
explicitly or implicitly phylogenetic, have been proposed. The most complete and commonly …

Large-scale phylogenomic analysis resolves a backbone phylogeny in ferns
Background Ferns, originated about 360 million years ago, are the sister group of seed
plants. Despite the remarkable progress in our understanding of fern phylogeny, with …
