An Assessment of Genetic and Environmental Effects on Sporangial Development in Bracken [ Pteridium aquilinum(L.) Kuhn] using a Novel Quantitative Method

A scheme for quantifying sporangial development on Pteridium fronds was constructed. Five stages of development were identified, and the percentage cover of each stage was estimated on one pinna of the frond in question. A weighted sum was calculated to give a single quantitative result. The scheme...
