Researches toward an integrated system of bryophyte classification

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Comparative morphological and molecular phylogenetic investigations were conducted to obtain a more natural system of arrangement of the main groups of bryophytes. A complete nucleotide sequence of chloroplast genome for major groups of mosses was obtained. Sporophyte anatomy of Oedipodium was investigated as it has features suggestive of a basal position within the Bryalean clade. The enigmatic genus Mizutania proved to be positioned in the family Calypogeiaceae. Phylogenetic relationships of marchantioid liverworts were investigated on the basis of spore mother cells (monoplastidic or apolar).
