Vascular architecture in shoots of early divergent vascular plants, Lycopodium clavatum and Lycopodium annotinum.

Abstract excerpt

Lycopodium represents a phylogenetically distinct clade of basal vascular plants with anatomical characters that have no parallel in other lineages. Thus, knowledge of lycopod structure and development may reveal important information about the common ancestors of all vascular plants. Here we report the unique architecture of the conducting system in Lycopodium annotinum and Lycopodium clavatum. Based on multiple...
