Horizontal transfer of an adaptive chimeric photoreceptor from bryophytes to ferns.

Horizontal transfer of an adaptive chimeric photoreceptor from bryophytes to ferns.

Ferns are well known for their shade-dwelling habits. Their ability to thrive under low-light conditions has been linked to the evolution of a novel chimeric photoreceptor--neochrome--that fuses red-sensing phytochrome and blue-sensing phototropin modules into a single gene, thereby optimizing photo...
