A community‐derived classification for extant lycophytes and ferns
PPG I - Journal of systematics and evolution, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Phylogeny has long informed pteridophyte classification. As our ability to infer evolutionary
trees has improved, classifications aimed at recognizing natural groups have become …

Single-molecule sequencing and optical mapping yields an improved genome of woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca) with chromosome-scale contiguity
Background Although draft genomes are available for most agronomically important plant
species, the majority are incomplete, highly fragmented, and often riddled with assembly …

A review of symbiotic fungal endophytes in lycophytes and ferns–a global phylogenetic and ecological perspective
We present a review of the documented fungal colonizations of presumably symbiotic nature
in lycophytes and ferns (“pteridophytes”). The sampling covers ca. 11%(1287 spp.) of the …

The evolutionary history of ferns inferred from 25 low‐copy nuclear genes
• Premise of the study: Understanding fern (monilophyte) phylogeny and its evolutionary
timescale is critical for broad investigations of the evolution of land plants, and for providing …

Large-scale phylogenomic analysis resolves a backbone phylogeny in ferns
Background Ferns, originated about 360 million years ago, are the sister group of seed
plants. Despite the remarkable progress in our understanding of fern phylogeny, with …

Simultaneous diversification of Polypodiales and angiosperms in the Mesozoic
Comprising about 82% of the extant fern species diversity, Polypodiales are generally
believed to have diversified in the Late Cretaceous. We estimated the divergence times of …

[HTML][HTML] A classification for Blechnaceae (Polypodiales: Polypodiopsida): New genera, resurrected names, and combinations
The fern family Blechnaceae, with about 250 species, has traditionally comprised one large
genus, Blechnum, plus seven to nine smaller genera, most with fewer than 10 species …
