Positional cues and cell division dynamics drive meristem development and archegonium formation in Ceratopteris gametophytes
Fern gametophytes are autotrophic and independent of sporophytes, and they develop
pluripotent meristems that drive prothallus development and sexual reproduction. To reveal …
