Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to submit short communications, research, or review articles to a Special Issue of Plants entitled “Bryophyte Biology 2”.
Bryophytes, the second biggest group of terrestrial plants, receive quite a bit less attention compared to tracheophytes. Even though their ancestors were among the first land plants, we still have quite limited information on the biology of these fascinating organisms. The lack of knowledge is noticeable in any subarea of bryophyte science: from taxonomy, ecology, physiology, biogeography, biochemistry, and molecular biology to applied sciences such as pharmacy, medicine, or bionics. After the rather successful Special Issue “Bryophyte Biology”, we have launched “Bryophyte Biology 2” with aim of exchanging novel research achievements and modern views as well as of bringing bryophytes closer to a wider scientific audience.
Prof. Dr. Marko Sabovljevic
Guest Editor
