Photographic Print : Liverwort spores, light micrograph
Photo Prints From Science Photo Library
Liverwort spores, light micrograph
Liverwort spores, light micrograph. Transverse section through the sporangium of a liverwort (Pellia epiphylla). Part of the sporangiums outer wall is at left. The spherical spores take up most of the image. Between the spores are elongated cells with spiral thickening (elaters). When the sporangium splits open these elaters twist around as they dry and flick out the spores, which are then carried away by air currents. Magnification: x100 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of liverwort spores, as seen through a light micrograph. The image reveals a transverse section of a liverwort sporangium belonging to the Pellia epiphylla species. On the left side, we can observe part of the sporangium's outer wall, while most of the frame is occupied by spherical spores. Interestingly, nestled between these spores are elongated cells with spiral thickening known as elaters. These specialized structures play a crucial role in dispersing the spores. As the sporangium splits open, these elaters dry out and twist around, creating tension that eventually propels them outward along with the spores. Once released into their surroundings, air currents carry them away to new locations where they can germinate and grow. The magnification used for this print is x100 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, allowing us to appreciate even finer details within this botanical marvel. This image provides valuable insights into both plant anatomy and reproductive processes in bryophytes like liverworts. Captured by Science Photo Library, this stunning photograph not only highlights nature's beauty but also serves as an invaluable resource for researchers and enthusiasts interested in cell biology, botany, and plant reproduction.
