  2. Hornwort genera

Anthoceros agrestis

Anthoceros agrestis, commonly called field hornwort, is a bryophyte of the family Anthocerotaceae.

See Anthoceros and Anthoceros agrestis

Anthoceros neesii

Anthoceros neesii is a species of hornwort in the Anthocerotaceae family.

See Anthoceros and Anthoceros neesii

Anthocerotaceae

The Anthocerotaceae is the only family of hornworts in the order Anthocerotales.

See Anthoceros and Anthocerotaceae

Apomixis

In botany, apomixis is asexual development of seed or embryo without fertilization.

See Anthoceros and Apomixis

Family (biology)

Family (familia,: familiae) is one of the nine major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.

See Anthoceros and Family (biology)

Gametophyte

A gametophyte is one of the two alternating multicellular phases in the life cycles of plants and algae.

See Anthoceros and Gametophyte

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

See Anthoceros and Genus

Heterocyst

Heterocysts or heterocytes are specialized nitrogen-fixing cells formed during nitrogen starvation by some filamentous cyanobacteria, such as Nostoc, Cylindrospermum, and Anabaena.

See Anthoceros and Heterocyst

Hornwort

Hornworts are a group of non-vascular Embryophytes (land plants) constituting the division Anthocerotophyta.

See Anthoceros and Hornwort

Nostoc

Nostoc, also known as star jelly, troll's butter, spit of moon, fallen star, witch's butter (not to be confused with the fungi commonly known as witches' butter), and witch's jelly, is the most common genus of cyanobacteria found in a variety of both aquatic and terrestrial environments that may form colonies composed of filaments of moniliform cells in a gelatinous sheath of polysaccharides.

See Anthoceros and Nostoc

Parenchyma

bullae. Parenchyma is the bulk of functional substance in an animal organ or structure such as a tumour.

See Anthoceros and Parenchyma

Phaeoceros

Phaeoceros is a genus of hornworts in the family Notothyladaceae. Anthoceros and Phaeoceros are hornwort genera.

See Anthoceros and Phaeoceros

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is a system of biological processes by which photosynthetic organisms, such as most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, convert light energy, typically from sunlight, into the chemical energy necessary to fuel their metabolism.

See Anthoceros and Photosynthesis

Spore

In biology, a spore is a unit of sexual (in fungi) or asexual reproduction that may be adapted for dispersal and for survival, often for extended periods of time, in unfavourable conditions.

See Anthoceros and Spore

Sporophyte

A sporophyte is the diploid multicellular stage in the life cycle of a plant or alga which produces asexual spores.

See Anthoceros and Sporophyte

Thallus

Thallus (thalli), from Latinized Greek, meaning "a green shoot" or "twig", is the vegetative tissue of some organisms in diverse groups such as algae, fungi, some liverworts, lichens, and the Myxogastria.

See Anthoceros and Thallus
