Biodiversity encompasses the variety of life and connectedness among species. Incorporating native plants into the landscape provides natural beauty and enhances beneficial interactions by creating habitat, food, nest sites, pollen and nectar sources for various wildlife including pollinators and birds. Our native plants are best adapted to local environments. These adaptations allow plants to have significant impact on local ecosystem services. These ecosystem services include: provisioning (providing food, clean water and fiber), regulating (climate regulation, stormwater management), supporting (nutrient and water cycling) and cultural (gardening, education in nature). In recent years, there has been significant decline in pollinator populations. Bumblebees and butterflies including Monarchs have suffered dramatic, declining populations in the last 20 years.

  • (Polypodiales) Plastomes Reveals Two Hypervariable Regions Maria D
    Logacheva et al. BMC Plant Biology 2017, 17(Suppl 2):255 DOI 10.1186/s12870-017-1195-z RESEARCH Open Access Comparative analysis of inverted repeats of polypod fern (Polypodiales) plastomes reveals two hypervariable regions Maria D. Logacheva1, Anastasiya A. Krinitsina1, Maxim S. Belenikin1,2, Kamil Khafizov2,3, Evgenii A. Konorov1,4, Sergey V. Kuptsov1 and Anna S. Speranskaya1,3* From Belyaev Conference Novosibirsk, Russia. 07-10 August 2017 Abstract Background: Ferns are large and underexplored group of vascular plants (~ 11 thousands species). The genomic data available by now include low coverage nuclear genomes sequences and partial sequences of mitochondrial genomes for six species and several plastid genomes. Results: We characterized plastid genomes of three species of Dryopteris, which is one of the largest fern genera, using sequencing of chloroplast DNA enriched samples and performed comparative analysis with available plastomes of Polypodiales, the most species-rich group of ferns. We also sequenced the plastome of Adianthum hispidulum (Pteridaceae). Unexpectedly, we found high variability in the IR region, including duplication of rrn16 in D. blanfordii, complete loss of trnI-GAU in D. filix-mas, its pseudogenization due to the loss of an exon in D. blanfordii. Analysis of previously reported plastomes of Polypodiales demonstrated that Woodwardia unigemmata and Lepisorus clathratus have unusual insertions in the IR region. The sequence of these inserted regions has high similarity to several LSC fragments of ferns outside of Polypodiales and to spacer between tRNA-CGA and tRNA-TTT genes of mitochondrial genome of Asplenium nidus. We suggest that this reflects the ancient DNA transfer from mitochondrial to plastid genome occurred in a common ancestor of ferns.

Canadian Field-Naturalist Dryopteris goldiana × D. intermedia, 117(4): 649-651. The rare fern hybrid is reported for the first time from Canada on the basis of a collection Dryopteris goldiana × D. intermedia from eastern Ontario. The plant occurred in rich deciduous woods in an extensive seepage area at the base of a slope. The immediate vicinity had an unusually high floristic diversity and 25 associated vascular plants are listed. Distinguishing characteristics of the hybrid are outlined.

  • Dryopteris Carthusiana (Vill.) H.P
    Dryopteris carthusiana (Vill.) H.P. Fuchs Dryopteris carthusiana toothed wood fern toothed wood fern Dryopteridaceae (Wood Fern Family) Status: State Review Group 1 Rank: G5S2? General Description: Adapted from the Flora of North America (1993): The stalk of this fern is ¼-1/3 the length of the leaf and scaly at the base. The fronds are light green, coarsely cut, relatively narrow, ovate-lanceolate in outline, and 6 to 30 in. (1.5-7.6 dm) long by 4 to 12 in. (1-3 dm) wide. The leaves are not persistent, except in years with mild winters. The leaflets are lanceolate-oblong; the lower leaflets are more lanceolate-triangular and are slightly reduced. The leaflet margins are serrate and the teeth spiny. Sori (spore clusters) are midway between the midvein and margin of segments. Identification Tips: Three other species of Dryopteris occur in this region, including D. arguta, D. filix-mas, and D. expansa, although only D. expansa has been found in association with D. carthusiana. D. carthusiana is distinguished from D. expansa by the color and shape of the frond. D. carthusiana has a duller, light green color, while D. expansa has a glossier, dark green frond color. D. carthusiana has a relatively narrow and ovate-lanceolate blade. D. expansa typically has a triangular shaped blade, with the lowest leaflets distinctly larger than succeeding pairs. The lowest leaflets of D. carthusiana blades are little, if any, larger than adjacent pairs and less deeply dissected than D. expansa tends to be. No hybrids between these two have been found. A technical key is recommended for identification.
