The “bryophytes” comprise three phyla of plants united by a similar haploid‐dominant life
cycle and unbranched sporophytes bearing one sporangium: the liverworts …

The bryophytes comprise three phyla of embryophytes that are well established to occupy
the first nodes among extant lineages in the land‐plant tree of life. The three bryophyte …

Mosses are a highly diverse lineage of land plants, whose diversification, spanning at least
400 million years, remains phylogenetically ambiguous due to the lack of fossils, massive …

Phylogenetic definitions are provided for the names of 53 clades of vascular plants.
Emphasis has been placed on well‐supported clades that are widely known to non …

DNA barcoding in the land plants presents a number of challenges compared to DNA
barcoding in many animal clades. The CO1 animal DNA barcode is not effective for plants …

In this study we present phylogenetic and molecular phylogenetic diversity analyses of moss
taxa from a total of 655 genera of mosses. Three loci were sampled: chloroplast ribosomal …

Nucleotide sequence data from three chloroplast genes (rbc L, rps 4 and psb A), one
nuclear gene (the ribosomal LSU) and one mitochondrial gene (nad 5) were assembled for …

Selection on spore dispersal mechanisms in mosses is thought to shape the transformation
of the sporophyte. The majority of extant mosses develop a sporangium that dehisces …

Nucleotide sequences of seven chloroplast (atpB and rbcL, SSU and LSU rDNAs),
mitochondrial (atp1, LSU rDNA), and nuclear (18S rDNA) genes from 192 land plants and …

The phylogenetic relationships of liverworts were reconstructed using the sequence data of
four genome regions including rbcL, rps4 and trnL‐F of the chloroplast and 26S large …
