Element content of moss sporophytes: Buxbaumia aphylla

James A Hancock, Guy R. Brassard

Abstract

The mineral element content of plant tissues and substrate of Buxbaumia aphylla was analyzed and represents the first data for bryophyte sporophytes. There is no apparent 'barrier' preventing the normal movement of elements from the gametophyte into the sporophyte. Silver, previously found only in Polytrichum and Atrichum, was found in Buxbaumia.
