Membrane integrity, oxidative damage and chlorophyll fluorescence during dehydration of the thalloid liverwort Monoclea forsteri Hook. |
The simple thalloid and leafy liverwort clade is a morphologically diverse and speciose group of organisms. |
Genus Riccia L. Plants are thalloid, forming rosettes or loose, dichotomous patches. |
The protonema forms a flat, lobed, thalloid structure attached to the soil by rhizoids, and the plants arise from marginal cells. |
Furthermore, logs provide persistent, exposed substrate where thalloid gametophytes can escape smothering by deciduous hardwood leaf litter. |
The leafy and simple thalloid liverworts have quadrilobed sporocytes, whereas the sporocytes of complex thalloids are generally unlobed. |
