Sporophyte and gametophyte generations differ in their thermotolerance response in the moss Microbryum.

Abstract
:

Actively growing post-embryonic sporophytes of desert mosses are restricted to the cooler, wetter months. However, most desert mosses have perennial gametophytes. It is hypothesized that these life history patterns are due in part to a reduced thermotolerance for sporophytes relative to gametophytes.
