Other claims from this paper (14)
- Observation The life cycle alternated between haploid gametophyte and diploid sporophyte generations.
- Observation The attached sporophyte separated from the gametophyte after three months.
- Observation The sporophyte produced bean-shaped homospores in oval sporangia under fronds.
- Observation At maturity, annulus contraction forcibly discharged spores.
- Observation Protonema appeared one month after culture.
- Observation Heart-shaped prothallium appeared four months after culture.
- Observation Mature gametophytes bore male and female reproductive organs.
- Observation Antheridia occurred throughout the prothallium and clustered near rhizoids.
- Observation Archegonia occurred only at the apical notch.
- Observation Some antheridial cells differentiated into sperm.
- Observation A single archegonial cell developed into an egg.
- Observation Fusion of sperm and egg formed a zygote that developed into embryo and young sporophyte.
- Observation Young sporophyte development lasted about nine months in culture.
- Intervention effect Chopped Platycerium media improved fern growth compared with soil.
