  2. Bryophyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryophyte

    Traditionally, when basing classifications on morphological characters, bryophytes have been distinguished by their lack of vascular structure. However, this distinction is problematic, firstly because some of the earliest-diverging (but now extinct) non-bryophytes, such as the horneophytes , did not have true vascular tissue, and secondly ...

  3. Category:Bryophytes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Bryophytes

    Bryophytes — non-vascular plants, that include mosses, hornworts, and liverworts. They are cryptogams (spore-plants). The study of Bryophytes is named bryology

  4. Moss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moss

    Chloroplasts (green discs) and accumulated starch granules in cells of Bryum capillare. Botanically, mosses are non-vascular plants in the land plant division Bryophyta. They are usually small (a few centimeters tall) herbaceous (non-woody) plants that absorb water and nutrients mainly through their leaves and harvest carbon dioxide and sunlight to create food by photosynthesis.

  5. Dioicy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioicy

    The ancestral sexual system in bryophytes is unknown but it has been suggested monoicy and dioicy evolved several times. [11] It has also been suggested that dioicy is a plesiomorphic character for bryophytes. [4]: 71 In order for dioicy to evolve from monoicy it needs two mutations, a male sterility mutation and a female sterility mutation. [11]

  6. Embryophyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryophyte

    Most bryophytes, such as these mosses, produce stalked sporophytes from which their spores are released. The non-vascular land plants, namely the mosses (Bryophyta), hornworts (Anthocerotophyta), and liverworts (Marchantiophyta), are relatively small plants, often confined to environments that are humid or at least seasonally moist.

  7. Riccia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riccia

    The sporophyte of Riccia is the simplest amongst bryophytes. It consist of only a capsule, missing both foot and seta, and does not perform photosynthesis. [8]

  8. Bryology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryology

    Bryology (from Greek bryon, a moss, a liverwort) is the branch of botany concerned with the scientific study of bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts). Bryologists are people who have an active interest in observing, recording, classifying or researching bryophytes. [1]

  9. Marchantiales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marchantiales

    Marchantiales is an order of thallose liverworts (also known as "complex thalloid liverworts") that includes species like Marchantia polymorpha, a widespread plant often found beside rivers, and Lunularia cruciata, a common and often troublesome weed in moist, temperate gardens and greenhouses.
