the importance of gemma cups in marchantia sp
Gemma (botany)
The production of gemmae is a widespread means of asexual reproduction in both liverworts and mosses . In liverworts such as Marchantia , the flattened plant body or thallus is a haploid gametophyte with gemma cups scattered about its upper surface . The gemma cups are cup - like structures containing gemmae . The gemmae are small discs of haploid tissue , and they directly give rise to new gametophytes . They are dispersed from gemma cups by rainfall .
