An experimental assessment of competitive interactions between sexual and apomictic fern gametophytes using Easy Leaf Area

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Premise Few studies have explored competition in fern gametophyte populations. One limiting factor is the tedious measurement of gametophyte size as a proxy for biomass in these small plants. Here, an alternative approach of estimating the number of green pixels from photos was employed to measure the competitive interactions among apomictic and sexual Dryopteris gametophytes. Methods We cultivated the gametophytes of two apomictic (diploid and triploid) and one sexual (tetraploid) Dryopteris species in monocultures and in two-species mixtures in the ratios 1 : 1 and 1 : 3. The total gametophyte cover of each population originating from 20 spores was assessed using Easy Leaf Area. Assessments were performed weekly between weeks 4 and 10 of cultivation. Additionally, during week 5, the cover of each species in each mixture was estimated separately. Results We identified a positive correlation between gametophyte size and ploidy level as well as sexual reproduction. The performance of the tested species in mixtures was dependent on the competitor species identity, indicating the importance of competition between gametophytes. Discussion The methods outlined can be used for a rapid assessment of fern gametophyte cover in large gametophyte populations. Ploidy level and reproduction type seem to play a major role in the competitive abilities of fern gametophytes, but more research is needed on this topic.
