Dominick J. Paolillo; Fakhri A. Bazzaz The Bryologist 1968. doi:10.1639/0007-2745(1968)71[335:pisopa]2.0.co;2
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Net photosynthesis was recorded in Funaria sporophytes.
- Observation Photosynthesis beyond the compensation point was not demonstrable in Polytrichum sporophytes.
- Observation Gametophytes of both genera showed net photosynthesis.
- Observation Light saturation curves of gametophytes were similar in shape to those of their sporophytes.
- Association In Polytrichum the seta weight decreased as capsule weight increased.
- Mechanism Seta reserves are important for the Polytrichum sporophyte during capsule expansion.
