A Small Number of Gametophytes with Gametangia and Stunted Sporophytes of <i>Antrophyum obovatum</i> Baker (Pteridaceae): The Suppression of Functional Sporophyte Production by Pre... by Sang Hee Park, Jung Sung Kim, Hyoung Tae Kim

“…Ferns have conspicuous sporophytes as the dominant phase in their life cycle; however, the gametophytes are completely separated from the sporophytes and supply their own nutrition, unlike in bryophytes and seed plants. Among the gametophytes, some maintain their populations in the gametophyte phase without progressing to sporophyte production and are known as independent gametophytes. …”

Ferns the missing link in shoot evolution and development by Langdale, J, Plackett, A, DiStilio, V

“…As sister group to the seed plants, the monilophytes (ferns and relatives) represent an excellent phylogenetic midpoint of comparison for unlocking the evolution of shoot developmental mechanisms, and recent technical advances have finally made transgenic analysis possible in the emerging model fern Ceratopteris richardii. …”

Negative regulation of KNOX expression in tomato leaves. by Jasinski, S, Kaur, H, Tattersall, A, Tsiantis, M

“…Leaves of seed plants can be described as simple, where the leaf blade is entire, or dissected, where the blade is divided into distinct leaflets. …”

Growth-survival trade-offs and allometries in rosette-forming perennials by Metcalf, C, Rees, M, Alexander, J, Rose, K

“…The pattern of biomass partitioning was compared with the predictions of Enquist and Niklas (2002a) Global allocation rules for patterns of biomass partitioning in seed plants. Science 295, 1517-1520. In agreement with their predictions, the overall relationship between above- and below-ground biomass was isometric. …”

Plant Diversity and Conservation Value of Ayer Hitam Forest, Selangor, Peninsular Malaysia by Ibrahim, Faridah Hanum

“…A total of 430 species of seed plants in 203 genera and 72 families occur here. 33 species offerns and fern-allies, 127 timber species, 29 fruit tree species and 98 species with medicinal values were recorded from this forest. …”

Cell Division and Meristem Dynamics in Fern Gametophytes by Xiao Wu, Xing Liu, Shaoling Zhang, Yun Zhou

“…Different from the gametophytes of seed plants that depend on their sporophytes and lack meristems, the gametophytes of seed-free ferns develop different types of meristems (including apical cell-based meristems and multicellular apical and marginal meristems) to promote independent growth and proliferation during the sexual gametophyte phase. …”

Exploring the High Variability of Vegetative Desiccation Tolerance in Pteridophytes by Gerardo Alejo-Jacuinde, Luis Herrera-Estrella

“…In the context of plant evolution, pteridophytes, which is comprised of lycophytes and ferns, occupy an intermediate position between bryophytes and seed plants, sharing characteristics with both groups. …”

Enhancing the germination of seeds and the seedling growth and development of Pistacia khinjuk stocks via a seed dormancy breaking method by Yusuf Ersalı

“… The behaviour of individuals with adaptations that will ensure survival is of critical importance for the continuation  of species during periods when environmental factors reach challenging levels for living beings. In seed plants, this behaviour is achieved through dormancy, in which vital functions are reduced to a minimum. …”

High-efficiency stable transformation of the model fern species Ceratopteris richardii via microparticle bombardment. by Plackett, A, Huang, L, Sanders, H, Langdale, J

“…Ferns represent the most closely related extant lineage to seed plants. The aquatic fern Ceratopteris richardii has been subject to research for a considerable period of time, but analyses of the genetic programs underpinning developmental processes have been hampered by a large genome size, a lack of available mutants, and an inability to create stable transgenic lines. …”
