“…These phenomena are extremely rarely seen and reported [ 45 ]. Apogamous sporophyte formation in bryophytes was firstly reported in 1935 in Phascum cuspidatum Hedw., and the second record was rather recently [ 46 ] reported in Fissidens crassipes Wilson ex Bruch & Schimp. subsp.…”

An introduction to the conservation physiology of bryophytes is given. The insights into the problems, solutions and examples of the physiological approach to conservation within bryophyte representatives are discussed. The significance of experimental treatments of bryophytes is highlighted. The documentation of bryophyte functional traits and eco-physiological mechanisms in the conservation background for protection purposes is highlighted by the selected examples. The introduction of bryophytes into a new scientific field is resumed and some insights from specific case studies are presented.

With the advent of genomic and other omics technologies the last decades have witnessed a series of steady and important breakthroughs in the understanding of the genetic determinants of the different reproductive systems of vascular plants and especially on how sexual reproduction shaped their evolution. In contrast, the molecular mechanisms of these fundamental aspects of the biology of bryophytes, a group of non-vascular embryophyte plants sister to all tracheophytes, are still largely obscure. The recent characterization of the sex chromosomes and genetic switches determining sex in bryophytes as well as emerging approaches for molecular sexing of gametophytes hold great promise for elucidation of the evolutionary history as well as the conservation of this species-rich but understudied group of land plants.
