Bibliographic Details
Title: The Fern Sporangium: A Unique Catapult.
Authors: Noblin, X., Rajas, N. O., Westbrook, J., Llorens, C., Argentina, M., Dumais, J.
Source: Science (pre-March 2025). 3/16/2012, Vol. 335 Issue 6074, p1322-1322. 1p.
Subjects: Plant spore dispersal, Fern spores, Sporangium, Cavitation, Effect of evaporation on plants, Dehydration, Poroelasticity, Plants
Abstract: The article discusses the mechanisms behind the dispersal of spores in ferns, particularly the ejection of sporangium caused by cavitation. Topics include the collapse of the structure of annulus cells by water tension resulting from evaporative water loss, the velocity of spore release, and the poroelastic energy of the annulus wall.
