Sporophylls of the homosporous fern Ceratopteris richardii have naked pinna meristems that allow surface growth at the pinna apex to be observed nondestructively over time. Sequential scanning ...

Analysis of the Ceratopteris genome provides hints for solving the long-standing mystery of why ferns, on average, retain more DNA than other plants. Comparisons to genomes from other groups also led ...

Ferns are notorious for containing massive amounts of DNA and an excessively large number of chromosomes. Defying all expectations, a fern no larger than a dinner plate currently holds the title for ...

My research interests focus on molecular and cellular aspects of plant growth and development. I am currently studying the interaction between light and hormones on photomorphogenic development in the ...

Two new articles are rewriting history with the first full-length genomes for homosporous ferns, a large group that contains 99% of all modern fern diversity. Ferns are notorious for containing ...
