The species studied were those used in a published phylogenetic analysis based on chloroplast DNA regions. Four additional Polypodiaceae species were examined for comparative purposes. We used scanning electron microscopy to image 580 specimens of spores from 29 species of the 48 recognised taxa. Four discrete and ten continuous characters were scored for each species and optimised on to the previously published molecular tree. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) showed that verrucae width/verrucae length and verrucae width/spore length index and outline were the most important morphological characters. The ﬁrst two axes explain, respectively, 56.3% and 20.5% of the total variance. Regular depressed and irregular prominent verrucae were present in derived species. However, the morphology does not support any molecular clades. According to our analyses, the evolutionary pathway of the ornamentation of the spores is represented by depressed irregularly verrucae to folded perispore to depressed regular verrucae to irregularly prominent verrucae. Keywords: character evolution, ferns, eupolypods I, canonical correspondence analysis useful in phylogenetic analyses of several other Serpocaulon is a fern genus restricted to the tropics groups of ferns (Wagner 1974; Pryer et al.

Growth of Fern Gametophytes After 20 Years of Storage in Liquid Nitrogen
FERN GAZ. 20(8): 337-346. 2018 337 GROWTH OF FERN GAMETOPHYTES AFTER 20 YEARS OF STORAGE IN LIQUID NITROGEN V. C. Pence Center for Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife (CREW) Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, 3400 Vine Street, Cincinnati, OH 45220, USA email: [email protected] Key words: cryopreservation, ex situ conservation, gametophyte; in vitro; long-term storage ABSTRACT In vitro grown gametophytes of six species of ferns, which had been cryopreserved using the encapsulation dehydration procedure, were evaluated for survival after 20 yrs of storage in liquid nitrogen. Tissues were rewarmed and transferred to a recovery medium with the same methods originally used to test pre-storage viability. All six species resumed growth. Post-storage viability was not consistently higher or lower than pre-storage viability of LN exposed tissues, likely reflecting the small sample sizes. However, these results demonstrate that long-term storage in liquid nitrogen is a viable option for preserving gametophytes of at least some fern species and could be utilized as an additional tool for preserving valuable gametophyte collections and for the ex situ conservation of fern biodiversity. INTRODUCTION For many species of ferns, gametophyte tissues have proven to be highly adaptable to growth in vitro (Table 1) . Most of these have been initiated through the aseptic germination of spores, although the aseptic germination of gemmae has also been demonstrated (Raine & Sheffield, 1997). As in vitro cultures, gametophytes can provide tissues for research and for propagation, both for ornamental ferns as well as for ferns of conservation concern. The ex situ conservation of ferns has traditionally relied on living collections and spore banks (Ballesteros, 2011).

Davallia Denticulata L 1101000110101001210 D
J EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Shelf Mark __l UniversityH Edinburgh 30150 024493592 Systematic Study on Davalliaceae in Peninsular Malaysia Haja Maideen Kader Maideen Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh 2008 Abstract Davalliaceae is a fern family established by A. B. Frank in 1877, based on the genus Davallia. It contains about 150 species in 8-12 genera and is restricted to the Old World tropics and subtropics. They are mostly epiphytes with long creeping fleshy rhizomes covered with peltate scales. In Peninsular Malaysia, the Davallioid ferns belong to Davallia Sm., Humata Cav., Leucostegia C. Presl and Araiostegia Copel. (Parris & Latiff, 1997). This study used morphological, cytological and molecular (three chloroplast regions) data in an attempt to classify Davalliaceae, especially in Peninsular Malaysia. The results presented in this thesis showed moderate to strong support for the paraphyly of genera in Davalliaceae, especially in Peninsular Malaysia. The results were incongruent with the latest classification based on morphology (Nooteboom, 1998) but congruent with a global study based on molecular data. The phylogeny showed that Leucostegia doest not belong to Davalliaceae. Four major clades were recognised in Davalliaceae, namely the Araiostegia Clade (AC); Davallia with two clades: Davallia Clade I (denticulata clade and dimorpha-divaricata clade), Davallia Clade II (scyphularia-solida clade and trichomanoides clade) and the Humata clade (HC). Maximum parsimony and Bayesian analyses of rps4 + rps4-trnS IGS and combined three regions produced congruent topologies, but the topologies ofrbcL and trnL-F region produced only slight differences. The expanded rbcL data also showed that all species were fully resolved without having a separated/regional clade.

Fern Classification
16 Fern classification ALAN R. SMITH, KATHLEEN M. PRYER, ERIC SCHUETTPELZ, PETRA KORALL, HARALD SCHNEIDER, AND PAUL G. WOLF 16.1 Introduction and historical summary / Over the past 70 years, many fern classifications, nearly all based on morphology, most explicitly or implicitly phylogenetic, have been proposed. The most complete and commonly used classifications, some intended primar• ily as herbarium (filing) schemes, are summarized in Table 16.1, and include: Christensen (1938), Copeland (1947), Holttum (1947, 1949), Nayar (1970), Bierhorst (1971), Crabbe et al. (1975), Pichi Sermolli (1977), Ching (1978), Tryon and Tryon (1982), Kramer (in Kubitzki, 1990), Hennipman (1996), and Stevenson and Loconte (1996). Other classifications or trees implying relationships, some with a regional focus, include Bower (1926), Ching (1940), Dickason (1946), Wagner (1969), Tagawa and Iwatsuki (1972), Holttum (1973), and Mickel (1974). Tryon (1952) and Pichi Sermolli (1973) reviewed and reproduced many of these and still earlier classifica• tions, and Pichi Sermolli (1970, 1981, 1982, 1986) also summarized information on family names of ferns. Smith (1996) provided a summary and discussion of recent classifications. With the advent of cladistic methods and molecular sequencing techniques, there has been an increased interest in classifications reflecting evolutionary relationships. Phylogenetic studies robustly support a basal dichotomy within vascular plants, separating the lycophytes (less than 1 % of extant vascular plants) from the euphyllophytes (Figure 16.l; Raubeson and Jansen, 1992, Kenrick and Crane, 1997; Pryer et al., 2001a, 2004a, 2004b; Qiu et al., 2006). Living euphyl• lophytes, in turn, comprise two major clades: spermatophytes (seed plants), which are in excess of 260 000 species (Thorne, 2002; Scotland and Wortley, Biology and Evolution of Ferns and Lycopliytes, ed.

Morphological Study of Pseudopeltate Scales in Davallodes Hymenophylloides and Wibelia Divaricata (Davalliaceae)
Bull. Natl. Mus. Nat. Sci., Ser. B, 35(1), pp. 17–21, March 22, 2009 Morphological Study of Pseudopeltate Scales in Davallodes hymenophylloides and Wibelia divaricata (Davalliaceae) Chie Tsutsumi* and Masahiro Kato Department of Botany, National Museum of Nature and Science, Amakubo 4–1–1, Tsukuba, 305–0005 Japan * Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We studied the detailed cellular-level structure of the pseudopeltate scales of Daval- lodes hymenophylloides and Wibelia divaricata (Davalliaceae). Results revealed that the structures of the pseudopeltate scales are complicated not only in the cellular contents but also in the shield structures. The developmental pattern of the pseudopeltate scale of D. hymenophylloides was simi- lar to that of the peltate scales of other Davalliaceae and related ferns, suggesting a close phyloge- netic relationship of the two scales.
