Study of species composition and community structure is an essential requirement for maintaining the ecosystem functions, conservation, sustainable use. Bryophytes are integral components biodiversity resilient during perturbation. The present investigation was, therefore, a survey in North Sikkim district (India) to study diversity distribution mosses resulting total 113 74 genera 28 families ...

The moss flora of Akdağ Mountain (Amasya, Turkey) was investigated. At the result of identifications of 1500 moss specimens, collected from the research area, 178 taxa belonging to 69 genera and 26 families were determined. Among them, 94 taxa are new for A3 grid square according to the Turkey grid system which was adopted by Henderson. The location data of Grimmia crinitoleucophaea Cardot and ...

The moss-inhabiting diatom flora has been surveyed for the first time on Galindez Island, Argentine Islands, maritime Antarctica. Altogether, 23 taxa belonging to 9 genera were identified. Diatom distribution exhibited considerable variability across samples and lower species richness compared communities in other Antarctic regions studied earlier - South Shetland Islands James Ross Island. A p...

Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are one class of endogenous tiny RNAs that play important regulatory roles in plant development and responses to external stimuli. To date, miRNAs have been cloned from higher plants such as Arabidopsis, rice and pumpkin, and there is limited information on their identity in lower plants including Bryophytes. Bryophytes are among the oldest groups of land plants among the ea...
