Abstract:
Fern gametophytes initiated from spores grew successfully when immobilised in reticulate polyurethane foam in liquid shake cultures. Colonisation of this matrix was complete seven days after medium inoculation and appeared to be a completely passive process. Yield (dry weight) was greater than that from liquid grown cultures.

Asexual reproduction allows plants to reproduce without growing flowers, attracting pollinators, or dispersing seeds. Offspring are genetically identical to the parent and produced without the fusion of male and female gametes.
