Recently I wrote about ferns and their normal way of reproducing by making microscopically small spores, invisible to the naked eye. But some ferns reproduce by cloning themselves, just as many ...
Analyses of genetic material from a multitude of fern species suggest that much of that plant group branched out millions of years after flowering plants appeared, a notion that contradicts many ...

“Ferns are ancient, 400 million years old or so,” said ecologist Lisa Lofland Gould, secretary of the North Carolina Native Plant Society Board and member of the Piedmont Land Conservancy. “They ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue scientists got a glimpse into more than 450 million years of evolution by tracing the function of a hormone pathway that has been passed along and co-opted by new species ...

Scientists have long thought that the first flowering plant in history would be a land plant. Though a few angiosperms (the scientific name for flowering plants) around today occur in the water, most ...
