Ontogenesis and Potential Evolutionary Pathways of Fern Sori

Key Points

• The analysis explored the ontogenesis of fern sori and their possible evolutionary pathways.
• Phylogenetic methods were employed to trace the development from ancestral forms to modern ferns, focusing on spore formation.
• Findings highlight the complex relationship between environmental factors and the evolution of fern sori structures.
• These insights contribute to our understanding of plant development, with implications for evolutionary biology.
