Low-growing mosses and liverworts were found in swampy moist areas. During the later Jurassic Period, some angiosperms (flowering plants) were also emerging. In the oceans, ichthyosaurs were ...

At ground level, there were cycads (evergreen, cone-bearing, palm-like plants) and ferns. Low-growing mosses and liverworts were found in swampy moist areas. During the later Jurassic Period, some ...

Now, researchers have demonstrated that this marker -- N4-methylcytosine (4mC) -- is essential for sperm development and maturation in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, a key organism in plant ...

Elite road cyclists are becoming chemistry experts. Lightweighting their equipment with sophisticated materials such as carbon nanofibers has helped ease these athletes over many hills. They’ve ...

Growth-derived mechanical conflicts between tissues are crucial during plant organogenesis. In-depth 3D growth analysis combined with genetics and mechanical modelling reveal that rapid and ...

Global climate change, characterized by increased frequency and intensity of extreme temperature events, poses significant challenges to plant survival and crop productivity. While considerable ...

Seeds of most herbaceous plants and shrubs can take a long time to germinate and are best covered with a layer of horticultural grit, which will reduce the risk of the surface being covered in ...

The series, of a planned 60+ volumes, describes the flowering plants, pines, ferns, mosses, liverworts and lichens to the species level. Much of the treatments from the books was transferred to the ...

The latin name for blåsippor is anemone hepatica, and they also go by the name common hepatica, liverwort or pennywort in English. It is most common in southern Sweden, although it does grow as far ...

Complex mechanisms regulate gene dosage throughout eukaryotic life cycles. Mechanisms controlling gene dosage have been extensively studied in animals, however it is unknown how generalizable these ...

The series has been designed to provide a user-friendly introduction to Australian plants, animals and other organisms, and forms part of a library of tools to identify and provide information about ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) belong to Glomeromycotina, and are mutualistic symbionts of many land plants. Associated bacteria accompany AMF during their lifecycle to establish a robust ...
