In land plants, gametes derive from a small number of dedicated haploid cells. 1 In
angiosperms, one central cell and one egg cell are differentiated in the embryo sac as …

The lycophyte Phylloglossum drummondii is the sole inhabitant of its genus in the
Huperzioideae group and one of a small minority of plants which perform uridine to cytidine …

Allopolyploidization often leads to disruptive conflicts among more than two sets of
subgenomes, leading to genomic modifications and changes in gene expression. Although …

Introduction: Huperzia serrata is a traditional Chinese herb that has gained much attention
for its production of Huperzine A (HupA). HupA has shown promise on treating Alzheimer's …

Polyploidization is pivotal in plant speciation, affecting adaptability, ecological tolerance and
specific geographical distribution patterns. While cytotype diversity has been extensively …

The latest research shows that ferns and lycophytes have distinct evolutionary lineages. The
codon usage patterns of lycophytes and ferns have not yet been documented. To investigate …

Meiotic drive is a deviation from Mendelian inheritance where genetic elements are
preferentially inherited by the surviving egg cell. This can profoundly impact chromosome …
