“…The highest value of leaf Na + concentration (1.03% dry weight) was found in P. setiferum treated with 100 mM NaCl, which may explain the most remarkable slowdown in the growth and the occurrence of leaf damage in this species. High leaf Na + concentration (from 0.89 to 1.53% dry weight) as a result of 100 mM NaCl treatment was also previously shown in D. atrata, D. affinis, D. filix-mas, and D. filix-mas 'Linearis-Polydactylon' (Salachna and Piechocki, 2021). In the present study, despite salt stress, C. fortunei var.…”

“…Hardy ferns, due to their unique aesthetic qualities, have recently become increasingly popular perennials recommended for landscaped areas and urban gardens. Lush growth, low maintenance requirements, and longevity characterize garden ferns (Salachna and Piechocki, 2021). Ferns grow well in shady places, are an excellent part of mixed beds under trees and are helpful in covering large areas.…”

Ferns are an essential group of forest plants, however their salt tolerance is poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of 50 or 100 mM sodium chloride (NaCl) on the growth, biomass, and ionic potassium (K + ), calcium (Ca 2+ ) and sodium (Na + ) concentrations in the fronds of evergreen ferns: Cyrtomium fortunei var. clivicola, Polystichum setiferum, and Polystichum setiferum 'Proliferum'. Visual quality of the plants immediately after the stress application and after the overwintering period was also carried out. Salinity resulted in the relative chlorophyll content reduction with exposure to increasing NaCl for all ferns. In C. fortunei var. clivicola and P. setiferum, salt stress led to a decrease in plant height, frond length, and weight of the above-ground part of plants as well as visual quality. For P. setiferum 'Proliferum' there was not a significant reduction in fresh and dry weight. Moreover, P. setiferum 'Proliferum' grown under salt stress maintained stable K + concentrations in the fronds and high aesthetic appearance both immediately after the stress factor and after several months. In conclusion, P. setiferum 'Proliferum' was relatively salt-tolerant and Cyrtomium fortunei var. clivicola and P. setiferum were sensitive to soil salinity.

“…Given the role of secondary metabolites for plant defence against (a)biotic stresses (Austen et al, 2019; B. Li et al, 2021; Martins et al, 2014; Tohge et al, 2016) and the evidence indicating that ferns have greater tolerance to different stress conditions when compared to angiosperms (Proctor & Tuba, 2002; Salachna & Piechocki, 2020), it seems likely that the higher allocation of carbons toward the secondary metabolism could be a mechanism to improve stress tolerance in ferns, at the expense of slower stomatal responses and reduced growth (Figure 9). These results contribute to answering the elusive question as to why the growth of ferns is slow and shed light on the challenge that plant breeding programs face to produce stress‐tolerant genotypes in the absence of a major yield penalty.…”

Recent results suggest that metabolism‐mediated stomatal closure mechanisms are important to regulate differentially the stomatal speediness between ferns and angiosperms. However, evidence directly linking mesophyll metabolism and the slower stomatal conductance (gs) in ferns is missing. Here, we investigated the effect of exogenous application of abscisic acid (ABA), sucrose and mannitol on stomatal kinetics and carried out a metabolic fingerprinting analysis of ferns and angiosperms leaves harvested throughout a diel course. Fern stomata did not respond to ABA in the time period analysed. No differences in the relative decrease in gs was observed between ferns and the angiosperm following provision of sucrose or mannitol. However, ferns have slower gs responses to these compounds than angiosperms. Metabolomics analysis highlights that ferns have a higher accumulation of secondary rather than primary metabolites throughout the diel course, with the opposite being observed in angiosperms. Our results indicate that metabolism‐mediated stomatal closure mechanisms underpin the differential stomatal speediness regulation among ferns and angiosperms, in which the slower stomatal closure in ferns is associated with the lack of ABA‐responsiveness, to a reduced capacity to respond to mesophyll‐derived sucrose and to a higher carbon allocation toward secondary metabolism, which likely modulates both photosynthesis‐gs and growth‐stress tolerance trade‐offs.

Using natural waste as a source of minerals and biostimulants can offer many advantages in the production of plants in containers. The research aimed to evaluate the usefulness of cakes obtained from the production of camelina seed oil (Camelina sativa) in the cultivation of ferns. The greenhouse experiment used ornamental ferns rich in health-promoting compounds: Onoclea sensibilis, Polypodium vulgare, and Polystichum polyblepharum. Plants were planted in pots filled with peat substrate mixed with camelina press cake in the form of pellets at a dose of 1 g/L or 5 g/L. Plants grown in 100% peat substrate constituted the control. It was found that the plants grown in the medium enriched with press cake were higher (P. vulgare and P. polyblepharum), wider (O. sensibilis and P. polyblepharum), and had increased dry weight (O. sensibilis and P. polyblepharum) regardless of the dose of the cake. Moreover, in all species, the addition of press cake significantly increased total chlorophyll content by 23.5–32.5% and carotenoids by 17.7–68.7% compared to the control. The effect of cake on the level of total polyphenols and flavonoids as well as antioxidant activity was unequal and depended mainly on the species and the waste dose. Overall, developing sustainable fern cultivation principles and understanding their nutritional properties could contribute to the broader use of ferns in green spaces, medicine, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
