anthoceros การใช้
- It includes only two species, both originally published as species of " Anthoceros " but since transferred to the new genus.
- When sterile, the distinguishing characteristic is the absence of lacunae ( gaps within the tissue ) within the thallus, which in " Anthoceros " are large and numerous.
- Rosmarinic acid and the derivative rosmarinic acid 32-" O "-?-D-glucoside can be found in " Anthoceros agrestis ", a hornwort ( Anthocerotophyta ).
- The dark color of the spores is the easiest way to distinguish " Anthoceros " from the related genus " Phaeoceros ", which produces spores that are yellow as noted by Campbell ( 1939 ).
- "Anthoceros " species are host to species of " Nostoc ", a symbiotic relationship in which " Nostoc " provides nitrogen to its host through cells known as heterocysts, and which are able to carry out photosynthesis.
- The yellow color of the spores is the easiest way to distinguish " Phaeoceros " from the common genus " Anthoceros ", which produces spores that are dark brown to black . " Phaeoceros " is often confused with " Anthoceros ", and dried plants are particularly difficult to distinguish in, but the two genera can always be recognized, when fertile and mature, by the spores.
