The work presents the result of using comparative morphological analysis of spore of threesubfamilies from the family Pteridaceae E. D. M. Kirchn. (Cryptogrammoideae S. Linds., Pteridoideae C. Chr.ex Crabbe, Jermy a. Mickel, Ceratopteridoideae (J. Sm.) R. M. Tryon) by evolutionary biology method by Mesquitesoftware. This approach allows comparing in detail the standardized qualitative features of the morphology of sporeswith the data on phylogenetic relationship of representatives, which as a result helps to identify intra- and intertaxonomicgroups of relationship, to search for evolutionary connections, to obtain new knowledge for solving problems in ferntaxonomy. Obtained data allow supplement natural classification of the Pteridaceae family.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
