Silica bodies in leaves of Anemiaceae (Polypodiopsida): taxonomic potential and reconstructing ancestral character states
Project summary:
This project investigates the micromorphological diversity and evolution of siliceous bodies within the monogeneric family Anemiaceae. Utilizing integrated light and scanning electron microscopy, the study aims to characterize distinct morphotypes, evaluate their diagnostic potential in fern systematics, and reconstruct ancestral character states to elucidate evolutionary patterns within this group.
