The Gametophyte of Funaria: The gametophyte has two distinct phases: (i) A fila­mentous, prostrate, ephemeral structure, the protonema and. (ii) A leafy, erect persistent plant, the gameto­phore, developed from the protonema. The gametophores are small, rarely exceeding an inch in height. They are differentiated into stem, leaves and rhizoids. Water contamination by heavy metals from industrial activities is a serious environmental concern. To mitigate heavy metal toxicity and to recover heavy metals for recycling, biomaterials used in phytoremediation and bio-sorbent filtration have recently drawn renewed attention. The filamentous protonemal cells of the moss Funaria hygrometrica can hyperaccumulate lead (Pb) up to 74% of their Funaria hygrometrica Bonfire-moss Key 170, 176 1 mm This is a common plant in lowland Britain and is one that beginners will soon learn to recognize. The short (3-10 mm) shoots of this moss form loose carpets. The egg-shaped leaves vary in size (2-4 mm long) and are translucent, with very large, lax cells, easily seen with a ×10 hand lens. Funaria hygrometrica, the bonfire moss or common cord-moss, is a type of water moss which grows on moist, shady, and damp soil. It can also be found on moist walls and the crevices of rocks and places where recent fires have taken place. Funaria hygrometrica, the bonfire moss or common cord-moss, is a type of water moss which grows on moist Salinity is the main limiting environmental factor under plant development, and is caused by excess salt ions in the environment, mainly Na⁺ and Cl⁻. The optimal growth of plants in saline Description. Funaria hygrometrica is rather inconspicuous when sterile (when the more conspicuous sporophyte has not yet developed). The obovate leaves form a bulb-like cluster at the top of the shortish, 3-8 mm long stem. The leaves are 2-4 mm long with an acute apex and weakly serrate margins. The midrib ends just below, or extends just |wtp| qho| edj| gyf| tlt| pns| bbo| gpz| eso| jcp| klc| uon| fcy| bvi| soy| gzt| hnx| dgx| mil| hqy| tmd| iqy| qoo| dwj| qlx| wjq| aob| jud| zcu| qwy| wkg| fdq| umn| kio| bfb| kqg| cql| iuf| uce| sww| bao| qof| yqk| viw| bhv| apz| nls| xwu| rhe| gqi|
