Abstract

This paper is the result of a literature review which sought to bring together articles relating to the reproductive system of bryophytes, involving issues related to natural populations and their reproductive characteristics. Among these features are the answers to environmental variations that can be seen on maturation time of sporophytes, presence of sexual or asexual reproduction in liverworts and mosses, variation in sexual expression in different environments. These factors may be included within the concept of breeding systems may somehow explain in part the reasons for the reproductive success of bryophytes, despite the limitations of maintaining the gametophyte as the dominant phase represent the terrestrial environment.
