Aims</div><p class="chapter-para">In bryophytes the sporophyte offspring are in contact with, nourished from, and partially surrounded by the maternal gametophyte throughout their lifespan. During early development, the moss sporophyte is covered by the calyptra, a cap of maternal gametophyte tissue that has a multilayered cuticle. In this study the effects on sporophyte offspring fitness of removing the maternal calyptra cuticle, in combination with dehydration stress, is experimentally determined.</p></div><div class=" sec"><div class="title">Methods</div><p class="chapter-para">Using the moss <em>Funaria hygrometrica</em>, calyptra cuticle waxes were removed by chemical extraction and individuals were exposed to a short-term dehydration event. Sporophytes were returned to high humidity to complete development and then aspects of sporophyte survival, development, functional morphology, and reproductive output were measured.</p></div><div class=" sec"><div class="title">Key Results</div><p class="chapter-para">It was found that removal of calyptra cuticle under low humidity results in significant negative impacts to moss sporophyte fitness, resulting in decreased survival, increased tissue damage, incomplete sporophyte development, more peristome malformations, and decreased reproductive output.</p></div><div class=" sec"><div class="title">Conclusions</div><p class="chapter-para">This study represents the strongest evidence to date that the structure of the calyptra cuticle functions in dehydration protection of the immature moss sporophyte. The investment in a maternal calyptra with a multilayered cuticle increases offspring fitness and provides a functional explanation for calyptra retention across mosses. The moss calyptra may represent the earliest occurance of maternal protection via structural provisioning of a cuticle in green plants.</p></div></section> <div class="article-metadata-panel clearfix at-ArticleMetadata"></div> <div class="kwd-group"><a class="kwd-part kwd-main" href="javascript:;" data-keyword="Bryophyte">Bryophyte</a>, <a class="kwd-part kwd-main" href="javascript:;" data-keyword="calyptra">calyptra</a>, <a class="kwd-part kwd-main" href="javascript:;" data-keyword="cuticle">cuticle</a>, <a class="kwd-part kwd-main" href="javascript:;" data-keyword=""dehydration stress"">dehydration stress</a>, <a class="kwd-part kwd-main" href="javascript:;" data-keyword="fitness">fitness</a>, <a class="kwd-part kwd-main" href="javascript:;" data-keyword=""Funaria hygrometrica""><em>Funaria hygrometrica</em></a>, <a class="kwd-part kwd-main" href="javascript:;" data-keyword=""functional morphology"">functional morphology</a>, <a class="kwd-part kwd-main" href="javascript:;" data-keyword=""maternal effects"">maternal effects</a>, <a class="kwd-part kwd-main" href="javascript:;" data-keyword=""offspring protection"">offspring protection</a>, <a class="kwd-part kwd-main" href="javascript:;" data-keyword=""sporophyte development"">sporophyte development</a></div> <h2 scrollto-destination=83970107 id="83970107" class="section-title js-splitscreen-section-title" data-legacy-id=s1>INTRODUCTION</h2> <p class="chapter-para">As the ancestrally dominant generation that both protected and nourished the zygote, the gametophyte played a significant role in the evolution of the multicellular sporophyte in embryophytes. Subsequent reductions in the gametophyte have decreased its influence in the vast majority of plants. However, in bryophytes the gametophyte generation remains influential; sporophyte offspring are in contact with, nourished from, and partially surrounded by the maternal gametophyte throughout their lifespan (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C18"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C18" data-open="MCT033C18" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Ligrone <em>et al.</em>, 1993</a>; <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C11"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C11" data-open="MCT033C11" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Graham and Wilcox, 2000</a>). This prolonged interaction may result in maternal effects that play a significant role in the survival, development, and fitness of the offspring sporophytes.</p><p class="chapter-para">Protection against the desiccative effects of life above water is critical for the survival of terrestrial plants. An array of adaptations has evolved that decrease water loss from plant bodies (e.g. cuticle, bark, trichomes, scales; <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C9"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C9" data-open="MCT033C9" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Esau, 1977</a>). Of these structures, the plant cuticle is ubiquitous, occurring in taxa from all major lineages of land plants [e.g. mosses (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C25"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C25" data-open="MCT033C25" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Proctor, 1979</a>), cheilanthoid ferns (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C34"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C34" data-open="MCT033C34" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Sigel <em>et al.</em>, 2011</a>), gymnosperms, <em>Ginkgo</em> (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C38"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C38" data-open="MCT033C38" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Taylor <em>et al.</em>, 1989</a>) and angiosperms, <em>Agave</em> (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C39"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C39" data-open="MCT033C39" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Wattendorff and Holloway, 1980</a>)]. The cuticle consists of layers of the biopolymers cutin/cutan and waxes that cover and permeate the outermost layers of the cell wall (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C13"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C13" data-open="MCT033C13" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Holloway, 1982</a>), decreasing intracellular water loss. Cuticle function relating to water loss has been studied primarily in angiosperms and less so in other tracheophyte lineages (e.g. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C28"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C28" data-open="MCT033C28" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Riederer and Schreiber, 2001</a>; <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C30"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C30" data-open="MCT033C30" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Schreiber and Schönherr, 2009</a>). Cuticles on the leafy gametophytes of mosses may also function in decreasing water loss (i.e. endohydric taxa; <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C25"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C25" data-open="MCT033C25" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Proctor, 1979</a>). Herein we demonstrate experimentally that the cuticle on the maternal moss gametophyte plays a critical role in reducing dehydration stress on developing sporophyte offspring.</p><p class="chapter-para">The moss sporophyte apex is covered throughout much of its development by the calyptra, a cap of maternal gametophytic tissue. For decades the calyptra has been known to be critical for both sporangium differentiation and sporogenesis (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C12"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C12" data-open="MCT033C12" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Herzfelder, 1923</a>; <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C1"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C1" data-open="MCT033C1" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Bopp, 1954</a>; <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C10"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C10" data-open="MCT033C10" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">French and Paolillo, 1975</a>). The calyptra has been hypothesized to influence the sporophyte in various ways including, mechanical constraint (physical), hormonal secretion (physiological), and desiccation protection. In terms of desiccation protection, we know that young sporophytes survive removal of the calyptrae only when grown at high humidities (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C2"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C2" data-open="MCT033C2" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Bopp, 1957</a>; <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C10"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C10" data-open="MCT033C10" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">French and Paolillo, 1975</a>) and a dye solution ascends sporophytes faster without calyptrae compared with those with calyptrae on the apices (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C3"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C3" data-open="MCT033C3" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Bopp and Stehle, 1957</a>), suggesting a greater rate of water loss from sporophytes lacking a calyptra. A role in controlling internal sporophyte water balance suggests that the calyptra is covered by a cuticle, a hypothesis raised as early as 1884 by Hy, and only recently confirmed (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C14"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C14" data-open="MCT033C14" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Hy, 1884</a>; <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C4"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C4" data-open="MCT033C4" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Budke <em>et al.</em>, 2011</a>). Determining whether the calyptra cuticle contributes to dehydration protection of the developing sporophyte may add further support to the calyptra's role in maternal protection.</p><p class="chapter-para">In <em>Funaria hygrometrica</em> the calyptra is covered by a multilayered cuticle that is significantly thicker than that covering the sporophyte or leafy gametophyte, which is fully developed prior to elongation of the underlying sporophyte (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C4"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C4" data-open="MCT033C4" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Budke <em>et al.</em>, 2011</a>). Furthermore, the development of a cuticle on the sporophyte apex is completed only during the maturation of the sporogenous capsule (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C5"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C5" data-open="MCT033C5" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Budke <em>et al.</em>, 2012</a>). Thus water loss from the developing sporophyte is likely to be prevented by the maternal calyptra rather than by structures of the sporophyte itself. While the significance of the calyptra to sporophyte maturation has been demonstrated, the effects on different components of the maturation process remain obscure.</p><p class="chapter-para">Despite its small size, the calyptra and its cuticle are reasonably amenable to experimentation. The calyptra can be physically removed from the sporophyte, the cuticle waxes chemically extracted, and then replaced on the sporophyte apex. Calyptra vitality is most likely unnecessary for later stages of sporophyte development (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C2"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C2" data-open="MCT033C2" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Bopp, 1957</a>; <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C10"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C10" data-open="MCT033C10" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">French and Paolillo, 1975</a>), and thus any cellular damage caused by the chemical removal of the cuticle is experimentally acceptable. To examine the importance of the maternal calyptra cuticle for the sporophyte offspring, we experimentally removed the calyptra cuticle of the moss <em>F. hygrometrica</em> and then exposed the sporophytes to a short-term dehydration event. If the function of the calyptra cuticle is to prevent dehydration, then we predict that components of sporophyte fitness (i.e. survival, development, functional morphology, reproductive output) will be negatively affected when the calyptra cuticle has been removed compared with those with the calyptra cuticle intact.</p> <h2 scrollto-destination=83970113 id="83970113" class="section-title js-splitscreen-section-title" data-legacy-id=s2>MATERIALS AND METHODS</h2> <h3 scrollto-destination=83970114 id="83970114" class="section-title js-splitscreen-section-title" data-legacy-id=s2a>Study taxon</h3> <p class="chapter-para"><em>Funaria hygrometrica</em> Hedw. is a pioneer species growing on soil in exposed habitats (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C23"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C23" data-open="MCT033C23" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Miller and Miller, 2007</a>).

Two gametophytes from each laboratory population were isolated, grown independently, and the resulting plants were used to create two genetically uniform lineages per population.

Spores were emptied into a clear 1·5-mL plastic tube in 0·5 mL of sterile deionized water and vortexed for 30 s. Immediately after mixing, 30 µL of the spore suspension was added to a Hausser counting chamber (Hausser Scientific, Horsham, PA, USA) and both the obviously shrivelled/empty spores (inviable) and viable spores in the gridded field were counted (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C32"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C32" data-open="MCT033C32" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Shaw, 1991</a>). Mixing and counting was repeated 3× for each sporangium to assess average spore number per sporangium. Additionally the diameters of 60 spores per sporangium were measured using a Leica DMLB compound microscope and ocular micrometer to the nearest 1·5 µm to assess average spore size. Twenty-five microlitres of the spore suspension and 600 µL of sterile deionized water were added to and spread across each of three replicate Petri dishes containing a modified Knop sterile media (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C6"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C6" data-open="MCT033C6" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Collier and Hughes, 1982</a>) with 7·5 g L<sup>−1</sup> of Gelrite (Research Products Intl.

In addition, the pre-manipulation measures (see above) were included as covariates and were tested for correlations. All of these were considered fixed effects, with population and manipulation date included as random effects.

Whenever we detected a significant manipulation by dehydration interaction (linear or quadratic) we used Tukey-adjusted least-squares means and the associated 95 % confidence intervals to determine whether the manipulations differed by dehydration level.

For the experimental results presented here, three genetically uniform lines from three independent collections (Cannan, Mansfield, Willimantic), were used. These laboratory-grown populations produced 171 sporophytes, between 13·0 and 21·5 mm in height, that were included in the experiment over five manipulation days. The two-way factorial complete block design (manipulation × dehydration treatment) resulted in sample sizes of <em>n</em> = 39 for the unmanipulated control with calyptra intact, <em>n</em> = 66 for the removal then replacement with calyptra cuticle intact, <em>n</em> = 66 for the removal then replacement with the calyptra cuticle-removed, with each of these groups divided evenly between the three dehydration levels (50, 70, 99 % RH). The three genetically uniform lines composed 32 % (Cannan), 45 % (Mansfield) and 23 % (Willimantic) of the individuals in the experiment and were represented in these proportions across all treatments [e.g. 99 % RH with calyptra cuticle-removed <em>n =</em> 7 (Cannan), <em>n =</em> 10 (Mansfield), <em>n =</em> 5 (Willimantic)].</p> <h3 scrollto-destination=83970143 id="83970143" class="section-title js-splitscreen-section-title" data-legacy-id=s3b>Manipulation experiment</h3> <p class="chapter-para">Correlations between the pre-manipulation measures of the sporophyte, calyptra, and maternal leafy gametophyte (covariates) were tested (Pearson product–moment correlation).

The dehydration treatment significantly affected sporophyte growth, annulus diameter, and sporangium inclination (MANOVA, dehydration treatment <em>F</em><sub>3,67</sub> = 5·17, <em>P</em> < 0·005); the covariate apex shape was also significant (<em>F</em><sub>3,67</sub> = 2·76, <em>P</em> < 0·05). In subsequent univariate analyses, the following factors were significant: sporophyte growth was affected by apex shape (<em>F</em> = 7·29, d.f. = 1, <em>P</em> < 0·001); annulus diameter and sporangium inclination were significantly affected by the dehydration treatment (<em>F</em> = 13·46, d.f. = 1, <em>P</em> < 0·001; <em>F</em> = 7·91, d.f. = 1, <em>P</em> < 0·01, respectively). Quadratic and linear interactions between the cuticle and dehydration treatments were not significant.</p><p class="chapter-para">Mature annulus and peristome formation were significantly correlated (<em>r</em> = 0·94, d.f. = 29, <em>P</em> < 0·0001); individuals lacking or with an immature annulus never formed a peristome, whereas the vast majority of individuals with a mature annulus developed a peristome. Therefore these responses were combined into a single categorical variable, with annulus and peristome fully formed added as a fourth category to the three categories of annulus formation (see Materials and methods above). The combined variable of annulus and peristome formation had a significant quadratic interaction between the main effects (c × d × d: <em>F</em><sub>1,72</sub> = 4·29, <em>P</em> = 0·042). Despite this interaction, the least squares means between cuticle treatments within dehydration levels did not differ significantly (data not shown).</p><p class="chapter-para">Malformations to the annulus, operculum, and/or perisome teeth occurred in 15 % of the individuals that produced sporangia. Malformations of the annulus and operculum were due to incomplete separation from the underlying peristome teeth, which may prevent sporangia from opening at maturity (Fig. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F1"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F1" class="link xref-fig">1</a>E, F). Hence, annulus and peristome, as well as operculum and peristome malformations were significantly correlated (<em>r</em> = 0·62, d.f. = 80, <em>P</em> < 0·0001 and <em>r</em> = 0·55, d.f. = 80, <em>P</em> < 0·0001, respectively). Annulus and operculum malformations were not significantly correlated (data not shown). Peristome malformation was significantly explained by a linear interaction between the main effects (c × d: <em>F</em><sub>1,71</sub> = 5·61, <em>P <</em> 0·05). Significant differences in peristome malformation using the least squares means were found between cuticle treatments at 50 % RH (Fig. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F2"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F2" class="link xref-fig">2</a>D). Sporophytes with their calyptra cuticle removed when exposed to a relatively severe dehydration event are more likely to have peristome malformations (Fig. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F1"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F1" class="link xref-fig">1</a>F).</p> <h4 scrollto-destination=83970158 id="83970158" class="section-title js-splitscreen-section-title" data-legacy-id=s3b4>Reproductive output</h4> <p class="chapter-para">Spore production is significantly affected by both cuticle (<em>F</em><sub>1,116</sub> = 6·60, <em>P</em> < 0·05), and dehydration treatments (<em>F</em><sub>1,116</sub> = 57·61, <em>P</em> < 0·0001), including a quadratic interaction between these main effects (c × d × d: <em>F</em><sub>1,116</sub> = 5·13, <em>P</em> < 0·05). A significant difference in the proportion of individuals that produced spores was found between the cuticle treatments at 70 % RH (Fig. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F3"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F3" class="link xref-fig">3</a>A); sporophytes with their calyptra cuticle removed are significantly less likely to produce spores (36 % compared with 77 %). When only the individuals that produced sporangia are considered, only the dehydration treatment significantly affected spore production (<em>F</em><sub>1,72</sub> = 13·78, <em>P</em> < 0·001). Though not significantly different using the least squares means, a similar trend emerges from this subset of the data; a lower proportion of sporangia produce spores when their calyptra cuticle is removed at the 70 % RH dehydration level (Fig. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F3"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F3" class="link xref-fig">3</a>B).</p><p class="chapter-para">The average number of spores per sporangium was estimated for a subset of the individuals that produced spores (<em>n</em> = 31). Sporangium weight and number of viable spores per sporangium were highly correlated (<em>r</em><sup><em>2</em></sup> = 0·88, d.f. = 29, <em>P</em> < 0·0001; Fig. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F4"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F4" class="link xref-fig">4</a>A). Thus sporangium weight was used as a proxy for the number of viable spores per sporangium. For individuals that produced a sporangium, the dehydration treatment significantly contributed to differences in sporangium weight (<em>F</em><sub>1,72</sub> = 10·39, <em>P</em> < 0·005); additionally the pre-manipulation number of gametophyte leaves and sporophyte length significantly contribute to differences in sporangium weight (<em>F</em><sub>1,72</sub> = 4·85, <em>P</em> < 0·05; <em>F</em><sub>1,72</sub> = 5·86, <em>P</em> < 0·05, respectively). Despite the lack of interaction between the cuticle and dehydration treatments in the model, a pattern similar to spore production was present in the data; the largest difference in mean sporangium weight occurred between the cuticle treatments at 70 % RH (Fig. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F4"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F4" class="link xref-fig">4</a>B). Using the regression to calculate viable spore number from sporangium weight, sporophytes at 70 % RH with the calyptra cuticle intact have on average 52 006 viable spores per sporangium whereas sporophytes without the calyptra cuticle have on average 30 523 viable spores. This represents a 40 % decrease in the reproductive output of sporophytes when cuticles were experimentally removed from calyptrae and individuals were exposed to an intermediate level of dehydration.</p><p class="chapter-para">For only individuals that produced spores, none of the main effects or covariates significantly affected spore germination. Spore size, however, was significantly explained by a cuticle treatment by dehydration treatment interaction (c × d: <em>F</em><sub>1,53</sub> = 4·16, <em>P</em> = 0·046), as well as a quadratic interaction of dehydration (d × d: <em>F</em><sub>1,53</sub> = 4·16, <em>P</em> = 0·046). Additionally the pre-manipulation number of gametophyte leaves significantly contributes to differences in spore size (<em>F</em><sub>1,53</sub> = 4·07, <em>P</em> = 0·049). Despite these interactions, the least squares means across the treatments did not differ significantly (data not shown).</p> <h2 scrollto-destination=83970162 id="83970162" class="section-title js-splitscreen-section-title" data-legacy-id=s4>DISCUSSION</h2> <p class="chapter-para">The plant cuticle is a critical structure for desiccation protection of sporophytes in vascular plants (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C28"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C28" data-open="MCT033C28" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Riederer and Schreiber, 2001</a>). Here we demonstrate that the cuticle plays a similar role in bryophytes but, unlike in vascular plants, this cuticle is produced by a maternal gametophyte tissue. Our experiment demonstrates a direct connection between a maternal gametophyte structure (i.e. the calyptra cuticle) and its functional importance for sporophyte offspring. Without the calyptra cuticle, dehydration during early development disrupts sporophyte maturation, resulting in decreased survival, increased tissue damage, incomplete sporophyte development, more peristome malformations, and decreased spore production. Thus the protection of the calyptra cuticle is crucial for maximizing sporophyte fitness and provides a functional explanation for calyptra retention across mosses.</p><p class="chapter-para">The effect of removing the calyptra cuticle strongly differs across the humidity levels (Figs <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F2 MCT033F4"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F2 MCT033F4" class="link xref-fig">2–4</a>). Under high relative humidity (99 %), the calyptra cuticle is unnecessary for dehydration protection, since little water loss is occurring, and thus a cuticle treatment effect at this dehydration level is never significant (Figs <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F2 MCT033F3 MCT033F4"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F2 MCT033F3 MCT033F4" class="link xref-fig">2–4</a>). At lower relative humidities (50 % and 30 %, the latter used in preliminary experiments) even sporophytes covered by a calyptra with an intact cuticle suffered negative effects (Figs <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F2 MCT033F3 MCT033F4"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F2 MCT033F3 MCT033F4" class="link xref-fig">2–4</a>), suggesting that the calyptra cuticle did not provide sufficient protection against water loss under extreme dry conditions. The presence of an intact cuticle on the calyptra makes the most difference for sporophyte development and fitness at the intermediate relative humidity (70 %; Figs <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F2 MCT033F3 MCT033F4"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F2 MCT033F3 MCT033F4" class="link xref-fig">2–4</a>). Sporophytes of <em>F. hygrometrica</em> develop during the relatively, milder and wetter months of early spring (pers. obs.); however, variation in microenvironments may significantly effect the daily humidity fluxuations that the mosses experience (e.g. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C35"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C35" data-open="MCT033C35" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Sonnleitner <em>et al.</em>, 2009</a>). How closely these experimental conditions approximate the levels of dehydration stress sporophytes of <em>F. hygrometrica</em> experience in the wild have yet to be determined.</p><p class="chapter-para">Sexual reproduction begins with fertilization but is only truly successful when spores are dispersed from the sporophyte and establish new populations. The annulus and peristome are two specialized structures that aid in moss spore dispersal: the annulus is a ring of inflated cells that enables the sporangium to open and then the peristome controls spore release via humidity-dependent movement [i.e. arthrodontous mosses (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C7"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C7" data-open="MCT033C7" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Crum, 2001</a>); e.g. <em>F. hygrometrica</em>]. When the calyptra is retained but the cuticle is removed under high dehydration stress, more sporangia have malformed peristome teeth (Fig. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F2"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F2" class="link xref-fig">2</a>D), which are regularly fused with the lid or annulus, disabling sporangium dehiscence (Fig. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F1"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F1" class="link xref-fig">1</a>F). The undifferentiated cells that will form these structures are located at the apex of the sporophyte (Fig. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F1"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F1" class="link xref-fig">1</a>A), which is covered by the calyptra and its cuticle, but lacks its own cuticle early during development (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C5"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C5" data-open="MCT033C5" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Budke <em>et al.</em>, 2012</a>). The sporophyte exhibits conspicuous malformations when the entire calyptra is removed (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C12"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C12" data-open="MCT033C12" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Herzfelder, 1923</a>; <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C1"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C1" data-open="MCT033C1" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Bopp, 1954</a>), and it is now clear that the calyptra cuticle is also required for proper sporophyte development by protecting these structures from dehydration.</p><p class="chapter-para">Two other sporangial features important for spore dispersal were significantly affected by lower relative humidity, independent of the calyptra cuticle. Sporophytes have a narrower mouth through which spores are released (annulus diameter; compare parts C and E in Fig. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F1"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F1" class="link xref-fig">1</a>) and form more upright sporangia, which may slow passive spore release compared with an oblique or nearly horizontal mouth (sporangium inclination; compare parts B and D in Fig. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F1"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F1" class="link xref-fig">1</a>). Sporangium inclination results from differential elongation of cells on one side of the sporangium and, as previously mentioned, the annulus is composed of inflated cells (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C7"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C7" data-open="MCT033C7" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Crum, 2001</a>), thus both of these features rely on cell expansion for proper development. The lower relative humidity and increased evaporation from the sporophyte may result in decreased turgor pressure, which is required for cell expansion (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C26"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C26" data-open="MCT033C26" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Ray <em>et al.</em>, 1972</a>).</p><p class="chapter-para">The development of structures that assist in spore dispersal is superfluous without spore production. When the calyptra cuticle is removed and sporophytes are exposed to a lower relative humidity, reproductive output is negatively impacted at two levels. Individuals regularly do not produce any spores (Fig. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F3"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F3" class="link xref-fig">3</a>) and may not even initiate meiosis, and even when sporophytes do undergo meiosis, the average number of spores per sporangium is lower (Fig. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033F4"></span><a href="javascript:;" data-modal-source-id="MCT033F4" class="link xref-fig">4</a>B). Thus the calyptra and the dehydration protection that it provides are critical not only for the development of spore dispersal structures, but overall sporophyte fitness.</p><p class="chapter-para">The calyptra is only one component of maternal care that may influence moss sporophyte development. In all bryophytes, maternal care includes both nutrient and water transfer from gametophyte to sporophyte via the placenta (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C18"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C18" data-open="MCT033C18" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Ligrone <em>et al.</em>, 1993</a>), and the size of the maternal leafy gametophyte may therefore affect sporophyte development (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C33"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C33" data-open="MCT033C33" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Shaw and Beer, 1997</a>). As the sporophyte tissues are exposed from beneath the covering of the calyptra they develop a multilayered cuticle (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C5"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C5" data-open="MCT033C5" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Budke <em>et al.</em>, 2012</a>) that most likely limits direct water uptake from the surrounding environment. Thus the maternally supplied, internally transported water (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C19"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C19" data-open="MCT033C19" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Ligrone <em>et al.</em>, 2000</a>) must be essential for maintaining sporophyte hydration. Without the calyptra and its cuticle covering the apical tissues, which have yet to develop their own multilayered cuticle (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C5"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C5" data-open="MCT033C5" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Budke <em>et al.</em>, 2012</a>), this critical supply of water would be rapidly lost through transpiration. Both of these components of maternal care are required for successful development of the sporophyte offspring, and may be especially important for taxa growing in habitats with fluctuating atmospheric moisture.</p><p class="chapter-para">In mosses, sporophytes may be poorly equipped to cope with abiotic stresses compared with their leafy gametophytes. As has been shown in other species, sporophytes are more sensitive to both desiccative (<em>Tortula</em>; <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C36"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C36" data-open="MCT033C36" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Stark <em>et al.</em>, 2007</a>) and temperature (<em>Microbryum</em>; <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C21"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C21" data-open="MCT033C21" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">McLetchie and Stark, 2006</a>) stresses than their associated gametophytes, suggesting that physiological mechanisms for desiccation tolerance (e.g. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C24"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C24" data-open="MCT033C24" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Oliver <em>et al.</em>, 2005</a>; <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C16"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C16" data-open="MCT033C16" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Khandelwal <em>et al.</em>, 2010</a>) are not as well developed or are lacking in sporophytes. Since both generations contain identical genomes that only in differ in their ploidy level, these physiological differences are most likely due to differential gene expression. The relatively short-lived nature of the moss sporophyte and/or the protective abilities of the calyptra may have reduced the selective pressures on this life stage to evolve or co-opt physiological strategies to tolerate desiccation.</p><p class="chapter-para">The ability of sporophytes to tolerate water stress and calyptrae to prevent it may also be environmentally plastic. <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C15"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C15" data-open="MCT033C15" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Irmscher (1912)</a> noted that wild-grown sporophytes were more robust to desiccation treatments than those that were grown in the laboratory. This may also extend to the calyptra with wild-developed calyptrae having even greater dehydration protection abilities. Thus the observations made during experimental studies, such as ours, may not represent the environmentally realized abilities of the sporophyte to survive and and the calyptra to prevent dehydration. Ecological developmental studies (i.e. eco-devo; <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C37"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C37" data-open="MCT033C37" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Sultan, 2007</a>), may bridge the gap between laboratory experiments and plants growing in the wild, but are currently underexplored in mosses.</p><p class="chapter-para">In mosses, the undifferentiated apical region experiences higher levels of dehydration as it is elevated during seta elongation, escaping the buffering effects of the boundry layer that surrounds the leafy gametophyte (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C27"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C27" data-open="MCT033C27" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Rice and Schneider, 2004</a>). The protective abilities of the maternal calyptra allow sporangium differentiation to be delayed and may have enabled the evolution of taller sporophyte offspring with permanent seta. Without the calyptra, it may have been necessary for the sporangium to complete its development prior to seta elongation, as occurs in liverworts. Liverworts elevate their fully differentiated sporangia on an ephemeral seta, via cell elongation, and spore dispersal occurs as a single event over a relatively short period of time (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C7"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C7" data-open="MCT033C7" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Crum, 2001</a>). The ability of mosses to build a permanent seta that enables spore dispersal over an extended time period represents a distinct evolutionary advantage, which may have contributed to the greater number of moss species compared with liverworts [9000–13 000 (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C22"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C22" data-open="MCT033C22" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Magill, 2010</a>) to 5000–6000 (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C17"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C17" data-open="MCT033C17" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">von Konrat <em>et al.</em>, 2010</a>), respectively].</p><p class="chapter-para">In conclusion, this study demonstrates that removal of the maternal calyptra cuticle negatively impacts development and reproductive output of the sporophyte offspring. The experimental evidence shown here and our observations of a specialized cuticle on the calyptra that develops precociously relative to the sporophyte cuticle (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C4"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C4" data-open="MCT033C4" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Budke <em>et al.</em>, 2011</a>, <span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C5"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C5" data-open="MCT033C5" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">2012</a>), support the hypothesis that the calyptra cuticle is a structural adaptation that functions to prevent dehydration of the immature sporophyte apex. This role in dehydration prevention is in addition to any mechanical or physiological roles that the calyptra may play. The cuticle on the maternal calyptra is analogous to the cuticle layers provided by the maternal sporophyte of angiosperms on fruits and seeds that protect these organs from dehydration (<span class="xrefLink" id="jumplink-MCT033C9"></span><a href="javascript:;" reveal-id="MCT033C9" data-open="MCT033C9" class="link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr">Esau, 1977</a>). Thus the moss calyptra may represent the earliest occurrence of maternal protection via structural provisioning of a cuticle in green plants.</p> <h2 scrollto-destination=83970173 id="83970173" class="backacknowledgements-title js-splitscreen-backacknowledgements-title" >ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS</h2> <p class="chapter-para">We thank L.A.
