Indehiscent sporangia enable the accumulation of local fern diversity at the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Indehiscent sporangia are reported for only a few of derived leptosporangiate ferns. Their evolution has been likely caused by conditions in which promotion of self-fertilization is an evolutionary advantageous strategy such as the c...
