The genome of the vining fern Lygodium microphyllum highlights genomic and functional differences between life phases of an invasive plant

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, number 39, September 2025.
Significant land plants undergo an alternation of generations between haploid gametophytes and diploid sporoid life phases. How these disparate life phases are generated from a single genome and the functional implications of these differences for …
