Homosporous ferns produce sporophytes by intra gametophytic selfing, inter gametophytic mating, or apogamy.Gametangium ontogeny, genetic load, and ploidy affect the mating system of each species.

摘要蕨类的体可经由配体自交、配体交配两类配育系统或以无配殖的方式，配体交配又可分为配体自交和配体交两种方式。

Apomixes is comparable to the conditions of apogamy and apospory, which are seen in many ferns.
