The fern has been studied as a model organism for over 50 years because it is easy to grow and has a short life cycle. In particular, as the first homosporous vascular plant for which genomic resources were developed, has been an important system for studying plant evolution. However, we know relatively little about the natural history of In this article, we summarize what is known about this aspect of , and discuss how learning more about its natural history could greatly increase our understanding of the evolution of land plants.
蕨类植物作为一种模式生物已经被研究了超过 50 年，因为它易于生长且生命周期较短。特别是，作为第一个基因组资源得到开发的同型孢子维管植物，蕨类植物一直是研究植物进化的重要系统。然而，我们对蕨类植物的自然历史知之甚少。在本文中，我们总结了关于这方面的知识，并讨论了更多地了解其自然历史将如何极大地增进我们对陆地植物进化的理解。
