Selaginella kraussiana as a model plant for studies on lycophytes. (A) Simplified evolutionary route of green plants, showing two existing branches of vascular plants; lycophytes and euphyllophytes. (B,C) Phenotypes of S. moellendorffii (B) and S. kraussiana (C). Note that the stem of S. moellendorffii is upright (B), while that of S. kraussiana is prostrate (C). (D,E) In vitro culture system of S. kraussiana. Detached branchlets of S. kraussiana were cultured on wet stones at time 0 (D) and 11 DAC (E). Growth of rhizophores that bear roots could be observed (E). Scale bars, 1 cm in (B–E).
