Vectors of Propagule Transport
The great number of different means of transport for propagules requires a structured overview of the vectors and mechanisms. Three large groups are distinguished:
• autochory, where the plant itself carries out the dispersal of its propagules,
• allochory, where the plant exploits different means of transport (vectors),
• atelochory, where dispersal is inhibited
Autochory
Plants have evolved many mechanisms which ensure distribution in different ways. In the simplest form of autochory, barochory, propagules are transported via gravity without special aids, a method that may only result in distribution over a wider area on steep slopes. Usually, the highest density of seeds is reached near the mother plant (seed shade). In contrast, with blastochory, propagules only find suitable growing sites by growth processes, e.g. via scions (vegetative shoots) or pedicels as in Cymbalaria muralis. In herpochory propagules move themselves short distances, e.g. the awns of Trifolium stellatum have hygroscopic characteristics, and twist with changes in humidity, dispersing the propagules (Fig. 4.2.1 B).
Special forms of autochory are summarised under the term ballochory, where propagules are propelled by a single impulse from the

mother plant. This may be triggered by animals, wind or even a raindrop. In autoballochory even such impulses are not required and the pressure is produced via differences in turgour (Ecbal-lium elaterium) or drying fruits or seed cases (Bauhinia purpurea, broom species). Seeds can be thrown over considerable distances, often several metres. Allochory Anemochory
Wind is a very important vector for allochoric seed transport. Even propagules blown by wind across the ground surface possess morphological adaptations. Such chamaechory is frequent in dry regions where there are rarely impediments to such transport. More important, however, is transport by air currents (meteochory). Small, light propagules which do not settle easily are transported in vertical - as well as horizontal -air streams across large distances, e.g. seeds of orchids or spores of cryptograms (so-called dust-fliers). Balloon fliers (Astragalus spinosus) possess special morphological adaptations, as do seeds or fruits with parachutes (Taraxacum officinale) and wings (Acer and Fraxinus species). Wind also triggers seed transport in plants which scatter seeds, e.g. the scatter mechanisms of Papaver species (boleochory). Hydrochory
Transport in, and with the help of, water is important for many plant species. Some propagules are able to float because of special tissues or large intercellular spaces, have a low specific weight and an external cover which is difficult to wet (Nymphea and Nuphar species). Coconuts, as well as seeds and seedlings of mangrove species, are even able to stay in salt water for long periods without damage. Seed dispersion in salt water and stagnant water is called nauto-chory; that in flowing water is called bythiso-chory. In flowing water seeds are transported by floating, and often drift over large distances. Small distances are often achieved by the impact of raindrops (ombrochory, e.g. Anastatica hiero-chuntica in dry regions). It is important that seeds in water do not germinate prematurely because of continuously moist conditions. Zoochory
The most important and ecologically most complex forms of allochoric distribution have devel oped in zoochory. Close interrelations between some plant and animal species point towards a long co-evolutionary development. This applies particularly to endochory, where propagules are taken up by the animal and pass through the intestines. During this time (retention time) they are transported by the animal. Most such seeds have a relatively hard shell and do not get damaged during passage through the gut, nor is it necessary for germination. However, after excretion, seeds are provided with very good starting conditions for germination in the nutrient-rich excrement. Some of the propagules are taken up randomly, particularly by large herbivorous mammals.
In addition to endochory, there are many other ways in which seeds are distributed by animals: Birds and bats, as well as ants, are specifically attracted; plants invest in nutrient-rich fruits and attract attention by striking colours or strong smells. Ants are particularly well known for their distribution processes (myrmecochory, however, this is a form of epichory, see below) and so are birds (ornithochory). The former carry seeds possessing lipid-rich elaiosomes (e.g. Corydalis cava) but the seeds remain untouched. This form of distribution is also called synchory. Birds react first and foremost to colours and are able to distinguish ripe seeds from unripe seeds.
In dysochory propagules are eaten and sometimes damaged. Such propagules, which are often starch-rich, are collected and accumulated as reserves (e.g. seeds of Pinus cembra collected by a bird, Nucifraga caryocatactes), but some pro-pagules still have a chance of surviving because not all hiding places are found again and some seeds are lost during transport. Some propagules are taken, together with the fruit pulp, into the mouth and spit out again (stomatochory) by many species of monkeys.
Propagules and their fruit pulp or endosperm are not always used as food. These means of attraction are often not developed at all, but still seeds or whole fruiting bodies are transported by animals. Propagules often possess glue-like excretions, glandular hair, barbs with awns and other outgrowths formed from the pericarp. Therefore, they are easily attached to fur and feathers and are transported until they fall off or are stripped off by animals during grooming and preening. In this form of transport, epicho-ry, animals distributing the seeds are not rewarded by food or energy and the plant invests less. In endochory close interaction exists be-

Some of the close links between characteristics of propagules and the animals distributing them are summarised in Table 4.2.2 (Howe and Westley 1986). Hemerochory
Man plays an increasingly important role in the recent history of plant distribution. In this particular allochoric form, hemerochory or anthro-pochory, any distances may be covered and all geographical and ecological barriers overcome. In ethelochory, plants are purposefully moved to different regions, e.g. to provide food or ornament. If distribution occurs unintentionally along with other propagules (e.g. weed seeds in seeds of cereal crops), this is called speirochory or in the case of random distribution agochory. Atelochory
The most important methods of distribution, autochory and allochory, are contrasted with atelochory (also called achory). This is a special form of distribution, as it is prevented. The consequence of this evolutionary development is that reproduction takes place at the site where the mother plant grows, which is favourable to the species. Examples are Arachis hypogaea or Trifolium subterraneum. After pollination pedicel and ovary penetrate into the ground.
Heterospory is widely used by therophytes in arid regions as the chance for survival are particularly good at sites where the mother plant is able to form fruits. Only some of the propagules are distributed to "conquer" new growing sites (Evenari et al. 1982).

Onoclea sensibilis |
Onoclea sensibilis, the sensitive fern, also known as the bead fern, is a coarse-textured, medium to large-sized deciduous perennial fern. The name comes from its sensitivity to frost, the fronds dying quickly when first touched by it. It is sometimes treated as the only species in Onoclea,[4] but some authors do not consider the genus monotypic.[5]
Description
The sterile and fertile fronds of Onoclea sensibilis have independent stalks originating from the same rhizome, quite different from other ferns.[6] The bright, yellow-green trophophylls (sterile fronds) are deeply pinnatifid and are typically borne at intervals along the creeping rhizome. The sterile fronds are deciduous with trophopods, swollen bases, that serve as over winter storage organs.[7][8] The sterile fronds of O. var. sensibilis have a length of 1-1.3 m (3-4 ft) with 5-11 pinnae, leaf pairs, evenly spaced along the stipe.[9] O. var. interrupta Maxim. fronds are shorter, 20-50 cm (8-20 in) long, with fewer pinnae, only 5-8 pairs.[10]
The sporophylls (fertile fronds) are smaller, 20-45 cm (8-18 in) in length,[10] non-green at maturity and have very narrow pinnae. They are persistent, standing 2–3 years. The sori comprise clusters of sporangia (spore cases) 2–4 mm (1/10-1/6 in) in diameter,[9] like beads, on upright fertile fronds, hence the common name Bead fern.
Sori are typically bilaterally symmetrical, though leaf forms have been observed with pinnae fertile only on a single side of the rachis. This form, named O. sensibilis L. F. hemiphyllodes (Kiss & Kümmerle, 1926)[11] and a second, O. sensibilis L. F. obtusilobata having pinnules flat (not curled or bead shaped),[11] were deemed to be variations not meriting taxonomic recognition (J. M. Beitel et al. 1981).[12]

The fiddleheads have a pale reddish color.
Morphology
edits made large-scale hygromorphy The spermatogenesis process spans formation of spermatogenous cells to the release of spore. In homosporous ferns, like O. sensibilis L., developing spermatids are surrounded by two different walls at specific development stages, as opposed to a single wall reported in other species. Other differences include a delayed formation of the osmiophilic crest and during sperm release the cap cell removes intact, as opposed to forming a pore or collapsing altogether.[13] Spores are monolete with the antheridium, or sporangium, containing either 32 or 64 sperm spores,[13] usually being 64.[7] Regardless of the number, the capsule's volume remains nearly the same.[13]
The mechanics of spore release and its timing are controlled by springtime humidity.[14] The small fertile margins, that in live-form held spore in tightly rolled structures, maintain their dry, leathery shape over winter. The pinnules' hygromorphic hygroscopic structures respond to spring's higher humidity by opening, releasing their spore into the air. Subsequent gametophytes are unisexual in early development, favoring cross-fertilization, later becoming bisexual to ensure species survival.[15]

Species
The genus Onoclea was cast by Carl Linnaeus in 1751, separating from the fern's prior association with the Angiopteris genus.[17] The binominal name, Onoclea sensibilis, was published in his 1753 Species Plantarum.[18]
Varieties
Onoclea sensibilis has two geographically disjunctive varieties. Onoclea sensibilis var. sensibilis is native to North America; Canada's central and eastern regions and the United States' north, central and eastern regions.[8] Onoclea sensibilis var. interrupta Maximowicz (aka Maxim.) is native to Southeast Siberia, Japan and China.[10] The varietal difference is their ultimate height, O. var. interrupta Maxim. only reaching half the height of its sister.
Alternate names
Regional colloquial names for Onoclea sensibilis, the sensitive fern, focus on its characteristics.

Etymology
Onoclea sensibilis' name was descriptive. Onoclea comes from the Greek onos, meaning a vessel, and kleio, meaning to close, describing the closely rolled sori on its fertile fronds. Its species, from the Late Latin sensibilis, means sensitive, describing its high sensitivity to autumn's first frost and to drought.[26][20]
Distribution and habitat
Onoclea sensibilis is native to Northern Hemisphere temperate regions; the Russian Far East, China and Eastern Asia, and a wide native distribution in Northern America.[25] It ranges from Newfoundland south to Florida and west to Texas, the Rocky Mountains, North and South Dakota, Quebec, and Manitoba.[16][27][28]
It has become naturalized in western Europe[29] and New Zealand.[7]
Onoclea sensibilis can be found at elevations from sea level up to 1,500 metres (4,900 ft)[9] in fresh water habitats,[12] not brackish, as it's spore germination ceases at NaCl levels ≥ 0.6%,[30] moderately saline water and higher.
Onoclea sensibilis grows best in moist shaded or partially shaded areas, dwelling in a variety of swamp and wood habitats: wet meadows, thickets and bogs, as well as stream and riverbanks and roadside ditches. It tolerates extremely wet soils, appearing in soggy ground or at the very edge of water in shade or sun.[19] The plant can tolerate dryer conditions in shade.
It prefers acidic (pH<6.8), loose, sandy to loam, limestone-based soils.
Ecology
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Onoclea_sensibilis_4_crop.jpg/220px-Onoclea_sensibilis_4_crop.jpg)
The Onoclea sensibilis plant has remained essentially unchanged over millions of years. A fifty-seven million year old fossil of Paleocene epoch flora shows specimens virtually identical to modern samples.[8] It has a life cycle featuring alternation of generations, sexual and asexual reproduction; its sporophyte generation matures in autumn, casts its spores in the spring[9] and the gametophyte generation follows. Surviving gametophytes require 5-10 years of growth before reaching their mature fern height.[31]
Sensitive ferns propagate by both spore dispersion and rhizome growth. Its growth clusters attract local fauna where small wildlife find habitat,[20] deer bed upon its dense mat[22] and in winter wild turkeys use the fertile spore stalks as a secondary food source.[20] They can become aggressive[26] and a nuisance if established near preferable vegetation. The University of Maine's Cooperative Extension: Maine Wild Blueberries classifies the sensitive fern as a herbaceous broadleaf weed.[32]
Its deciduous fronds do not tolerate freezing temperatures, however, the plant survives USDA hardiness zones 4-8,[33] or minimum temperatures of -20 °C to -15 °C (-4 °F to 5 °F) having the Royal Horticultural Society's H6 rating.[34] Winter survival is enhanced if the dried frond petiole bases are left intact.[7][4]
Nutrient beneficial ectotrophic mycorrhizal associations may occur in Onoclea sensibilis, Pteridium aquilinum and Adiantum pedatum located in oak and hickory forests.[35]
Onoclea sensibilis is a wetland indicator, listed as a Facultative Wetland Hydrophyte in the 2013 (US) National Wetland Plant List due to its observed affinity for wetter soils.[36]
Opinion is mixed regarding the species' tolerance to disturbance of its growing environment. In one forest setting, a decade long decline was noticed following even single-cut tree felling operations.[20] In other settings sensitive ferns appear opportunistic, disturbance not being a problem.[28] They spread to form colonies, often the first species to inhabit disturbed areas.
Pests and diseases
Onoclea sensibilis hosts insects, fungi, bacteria and even a parasitic vine, Cuscuta gronovii (scaldweed), that can overgrow and constrict it.[37]
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cd/Angle_shades_-_aka_olive_sausage_%28BG%29_%2813101368135%29.jpg/220px-Angle_shades_-_aka_olive_sausage_%28BG%29_%2813101368135%29.jpg)
Insects
Insects feeding upon the Onoclea sensibilis target both its leaves and rhizome roots. Amphorophora ampullata fern aphids,[6] Chirosia gleniensis fern miners[38] and the larvae of sawflies Hemitaxonus dubitatus[6] and Stromboceros delicatulus[39] feed on its leaves. Larvae of moth species Phlogophora iris (olive angle shades, pictured),[12] Callopistria cordata (silver-spotted fern moth)[12] and Papaipema inquaesita (Sensitive Fern Borer)[38][12] are known to feed on both stems and rhizomes.[6]
Fungi
Parasitic fungi include Ceratobasidium anceps, causing frond and stem necrosis; Ceratobasidium cornigerum, covering stems with saprophyte growths;[37] and Uredinopsis mirabilis,[37] a distinct rust species unique to the Sensitive Fern.[40] Invasive fungi like Taphrina filicina,[37] Taphrina hiratsukae[41] and Phyllactinia corylea, synonym Phyllactinia guttata[41] can infect leaves, causing blisters or white powdery mildew.
Fungi can develop beneath beech trees, where aphid honeydew secretions accumulate;[42][43] these strictly epiphyllous honeydew fungi, Sclerotiomyces colchicus[44] and Scorias spongiosa (Schwein.) Fr.,[45] have been recorded on Onoclea sensibilis, where their sooty mold buildup impairs leaf function.
Bacteria
Onoclea sensibilis can host Burkholderia plantarii[25] which causes stem lesions. B. plantarii is a pathogen of bacterial seedling blight in rice. In a multi-year study the weedy presence of O. sensibilis at rice paddy fields and a means to convey the bacterium (rainfall runoff) implicated it as the source of bacterial blight outbreaks when paired with enabling environmental conditions.[46]
Toxicity
Pharmacology
Onoclea sensibilis has two internally-synthesized chemical defenses against insects. Ingesting any part of the plant introduces thiaminase enzymes and phytoecdysteroid hormones which can disrupt an insect's molting cycle, preventing its full development.[8]
Mammal
Onoclea sensibilis has been implicated in equine poisoning and death[18], especially if eaten in quantity.[6] The exact cause is unproven, but thiaminase poisoning, causing an extreme Vitamin B1 deficiency is suspected.[8]
Human
Its human toxicity is not well defined; no specific warnings for Onoclea sensibilis have been found.[33] Its summaries, however, frequently include precautionary statements that ferns, in general, may contain natural carcinogens and/or the enzyme thiaminase, the latter being dangerous in high concentration.[33][20] Historically, some Native American peoples have consumed Onoclea sensibilis without apparent distress; see Food uses in this article.
Uses
Food
Onoclea sensibilis has limited value for food use,[20] considered a famine food by some and reserved for times of scarcity. Cooking heat eliminates its thiaminase content.[33] The Iroquois treated Onoclea sensibilis as an early springtime vegetable, prepared like spinach, the fiddleheads cooked and "seasoned with salt, pepper or butter" (Waugh, 1916).[22] After removing the "brown scales" (sori), leaves were processed likewise.[33] Its young shoots have been sold as delicacies in Asian markets.[33]
Horticultural
It is cultivated as an ornamental plant in traditional and native plant gardens, and in natural landscaping and habitat restoration projects.[26][31] It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[34]Gardeners employ rhizome division and are aided by spore harvesting guides.[47] Its decomposing fronds make an effective mulch, suppressing undergrowth.[33] Plantings can become aggressive,[31] weedy if not sited properly.
Decorative
Its cut fronds are used in dried flower arrangements.[19] [33]
Medicinal
Historically, Native American peoples used Onoclea sensibilis in both oral and topical forms for medicinal use. The Ojibwe people made a decoction of powdered, dried Onoclea sensibilis root to stimulate milk flow in female patients.[48] The Iroquois did likewise[49] and more extensively applied[50] the root decoction for tuberculosis, fertility in women,[49] pain and strength after childbirth,[49] to treat and prevent baldness,[33][49] as a gastrointestinal aid for swelling and cramps, for arthritis and infection. A fermented version of the decoction was used to start menses.[49] A poultice of the top leaves was used for deep cuts and infection.[49] A cold compound infusion of the entire fern plant was washed on sores and taken for venereal disease, e.g. gonorrhea.[51]
Onoclea sensibilis has been found to contain the bioactive plant flavonols kaempferol and quercetin and has antioxidant properties in its var. interrupta's extracts.[52]
An extract of Onoclea sensibilis has received future recommendation as an atherosclerosis treatment.[53]
