Plant Life Cycle Pteridophyta (Product Code: SCL475/0200) is a laminated wall chart used to teach the life cycle of ferns and fern allies in school and college botany classes. It gives students one large 75 x 100 cm polyart reference for a sequence that small textbook diagrams make hard to picture: a leafy, long-lived sporophyte alternating with a tiny, free-living gametophyte. The chart is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

In a plant kingdom unit the pteridophyte life cycle is normally taught straight after the bryophytes, because the two groups make a clear contrast. In mosses the gametophyte is the main plant; in ferns the dominant generation is the diploid sporophyte, with true roots, stems and leaves. Teachers use the chart while explaining the cycle in order: sporangia, grouped in sori on the underside of the fronds, release spores formed by meiosis; a spore germinates into a small, flat prothallus; antheridia and archegonia develop on the prothallus; and a swimming sperm fertilises the egg so that a young sporophyte grows up out of the gametophyte.
The lesson comes alive with a real fern frond on the bench. Students can find the brown sori with a hand lens and then locate the same structures on the wall. A good discussion question is why fern fertilisation still needs a film of water, and how that keeps most ferns in damp, shaded places. Hung next to the bryophyte, gymnosperm and angiosperm life-cycle charts, it helps a school put together a complete set of botany lab equipment for teaching how land plants became less dependent on water.
The Plant Life Cycle Pteridophyta chart is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of its teaching charts. Production takes place at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, so schools, dealers and importers deal with the maker directly — including for additional copies when a new classroom opens.

How large is the Plant Life Cycle Pteridophyta chart?
The Plant Life Cycle Pteridophyta chart measures 75 x 100 cm, a large format made for wall display in a classroom or botany lab. It is polyart with a laminated finish, so check that you have a clear wall area of that size before ordering.
Which stages of the fern life cycle does the Plant Life Cycle Pteridophyta chart cover?
The Plant Life Cycle Pteridophyta chart is intended for teaching the sporophyte, spore, prothallus and young sporophyte sequence of ferns. The product details do not list every label, so if your syllabus needs a particular structure, ask for the artwork through the contact page before you order.
Can I order the Plant Life Cycle Pteridophyta chart with the other plant life cycle charts?
Yes. The Bryophyta, Gymnosperm and Angiosperm charts are listed separately; name them with the Plant Life Cycle Pteridophyta chart in one enquiry and they will be quoted together, giving a school a matching series for the plant kingdom unit.
How should the Plant Life Cycle Pteridophyta chart be cleaned?
Clean the Plant Life Cycle Pteridophyta chart by wiping the laminated face with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners, and never fold the sheet, because creases can mark the lamination permanently.
Who manufactures the Plant Life Cycle Pteridophyta chart?
The Plant Life Cycle Pteridophyta chart is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buyers deal directly with the manufacturer for quotations, repeat orders and replacement copies of code SCL475/0200.
Does the Plant Life Cycle Pteridophyta chart come with hanging rods or a frame?
No mounting hardware is specified for the Plant Life Cycle Pteridophyta chart; the listing covers the laminated polyart sheet only. If you need rods, eyelets or a frame for display, mention it in your enquiry so the options can be discussed.
Do you supply the Plant Life Cycle Pteridophyta chart outside India?
Yes. The Plant Life Cycle Pteridophyta chart is supplied to schools and colleges in India and international markets. Send the quantity and destination through the contact page or enquiry cart, and the manufacturer will prepare a quotation.
To order the Plant Life Cycle Pteridophyta chart, send your quantity through the contact page or add it to the enquiry cart. The quotation for your school, college or laboratory comes directly from the manufacturer.
