imagine living somewhere that there's a field guide to lichens or bryophytes....

I have abandoned adult capitalism responsibilities to embrace lichens and bryophytes Admire the blurry photos of my beautiful new friends first photo: a close up via phone cam of a bit of moss(?) on a gravestone second photo: super close up of same mossy bits via portable digital microscope

I have yet to figure out how to test the hypothalline hyphae. The ecology does not really fit: "growing on acidic rocks and soil, often over bryophytes" Still a fun exercise. I learned some things about Lepraria tonight. italic.units.it/index.php?pr...

Yes! Itโ€™s so neat and self-contained. Andโ€ฆ easily identified, which I appreciate, as Iโ€™m not at all confident about bryophytes.

๐ŸŒ The findings offer a new perspective on why some plant lineages have stable chromosome sizes (bryophytes, lycophytes, ferns) while others (gymnosperms, angiosperms) show more variability. Centromeres might hold the key! (7/7) ๐Ÿ‘‰ botany.fyi/6ahcfw#PlantScience#Botany

๐Ÿ“Š The results suggest that centromere drive not only accelerates chromosome and genome size evolution but may also influence post-polyploid diploidization. This process helps restructure a polyploid genome to function more like a diploid, often involving chromosome fusions. (6/7)

Figure showing an idealized model of chromosome and genome size evolution in plants, focusing on differences between symmetric lineages (bryophytes, lycophytes, ferns) and asymmetric lineages (angiosperms, gymnosperms). In symmetric lineages, the absence of centromere drive leads to stable chromosomes and karyotypes, primarily influenced by whole-genome duplications (WGD). In asymmetric lineages, centromere drive affects chromosome size and stability, requiring post-polyploid diploidization (PPD) to remove harmful genetic elements and stabilize chromosomes after WGD.
