CURRENT ADVANCES IN FERN RESEARCH GEBUNDEN

Ferns  collectively  represent an ancient species of vascular plant which has a direct
connection to the beginning of life on Earth. Today they are valued for their ornamental appeal
environmental benefit or as sources of health benefiting metabolites. Current pteridology  the
study of fern  encompasses a wide range of research activities including  but not limited to 
plant physiology  stress tolerance  genetics and genomics. The goal of this book is to compile
the most relevant research done with ferns during the last decade. It is organized into four
parts: I  Biology and Biotechnology  II  Evolution and Conservation  III  Metabolism and
Genetic Resources  and IV  Environment. Each section reveals the utilization of ferns as a tool
to explore challenges unique to plant development and adaptation.This project represents our
collective effort to raise the awareness of ferns as a model system to study higher plant
functions. Among the distinctive features of our proposed book are: (i) a wide range of topics
with contributing researchers from all around the world  and (ii) recent advances of theoretic
and applied knowledge with implications to crop species of economic value.
