The origin and evolution of lignin biosynthesis. (2010, unknown): “In this study, weakly reacting ligninrelated epitopes could be detected in the cell wall of all the nonvascular plant species examined, among which the moss Sphagnum cuspidatum even exhibited a labeling intensity similar to that of the tracheophyte controls (Ligrone et al., 2008).”
Phylogeny and Molecular Evolution of the Green Algae (2012, background): “…involving alternation of two distinct multicellular generations (a haploid sporophyte and diploid gametophyte), protected embryos, and gas-filled spaces within the plant body appear to be unique to embryophytes (Delwiche et al., 1989; Graham et al., 2000; Bowman et al., 2007; Ligrone et al., 2008).”
An experimental comparison of chemical traits and litter decomposition rates in a diverse range of subarctic bryophyte, lichen and vascular plant species (2009, unknown): “…to structural, lignin-like and soluble phenolic compounds (Verhoeven & Liefveld 1997), both of which are also found in non-Sphagnummosses (Erickson &Miksche 1974; Zinsmeister & Mues 1990; Ligrone et al. 2008), and decomposition-inhibiting bacteria associated with Sphagnum (Opelt, Berg, &Berg 2007).”
