Revisions to the fossil sporophyte record of Marsilea by ELIZABETH J. HERMSEN

“…A critical evaluation of the fossil record of Marsilea thus indicates that (1) the oldest fossil marsileaceous sporophytes bearing Marsilea-like leaves are from the Campanian; (2) only four credible records of sporophyte material attributable to Marsilea are known; and (3) the oldest dispersed Marsilea spores are known from the Oligocene.…”

The role of class 1 KNOX genes in sporophyte evolution by Frangedakis, E

“…<p>Land plants are characterized by the alternation of two generations: the haploid gametophyte and the diploid sporophyte. As land plants evolved from bryophytes to vascular plants, the sporophyte became the dominant generation in the life cycle. …”

A Small Number of Gametophytes with Gametangia and Stunted Sporophytes of <i>Antrophyum obovatum</i> Baker (Pteridaceae): The Suppression of Functional Sporophyte Production by Prezygotic and Postzygotic Sterility 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. …”

Stable demographic ratios of haploid gametophyte to diploid sporophyte abundance in macroalgal populations. by Kazuhiro Bessho

“…Macroalgal populations often consist of free-living haploid (gametophyte) and diploid (sporophyte) stages. Various ecological studies have been conducted to examine the demographic diversity of haploid-diploid populations with regard to the dominant stage. …”

Mycorrhizal association in gametophytes and sporophytes of the fern Pteris vittata (Pteridaceae) with Glomus intraradices by Alicia E Martinez, Viviana Chiocchio, Lo Tai Em, María A Rodriguez, Alicia M Godeas

“…Ferns, which are usually colonizing different environments and their roots frequently present mycorrhization, have two adult stages in their life cycle, the sporophytic and the gametophytic phase. This paper describes the experimental mycorrhizal association between Pteris vittata leptosporangiate fern and a strain of Glomus intraradices during the life cycle of the fern, from spore germination to the development of a mature sporophyte. …”

Cold Thermal Priming of Laminaria digitata (Laminariales, Phaeophyceae) Gametophytes Enhances Gametogenesis and Thermal Performance of Sporophytes by Clément Gauci, Clément Gauci, Inka Bartsch, Neusa Martins, Daniel Liesner, Daniel Liesner

“…We hypothesized that a warm gametophyte pre-experimental cultivation promotes performance of sporophytes at warm temperatures and vice versa. Interestingly, gametogenesis speed and sporophyte recruitment were higher in gametophytes following cold compared to warm pre-experimental cultivation, which indicates carry-over effects of temperature within the gametophyte generation. …”
