The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Brainea insignis (Blechnaceae). [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA B Resour, 2020 Brainea insignis (Hooker) J. Smith, a member of Blechnaceae, is a rare and endangered species in tropical Asia. Here we assembled and annotated the complete chloroplast (cp) genome. It is 149,730 bp in length and encodes 88 protein-coding genes, 36 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. This chloroplast genome sequencing offers

Identification and characterization of BAHD hydroxycinnamoyltransferases in the fern Neoblechnum brasiliense. [PDF]
Plant JSignificance Statement Nine BAHD acyltransferases have been identified and characterized in the fern Neoblechnum brasiliense transferring hydroxycinnamoyl units onto various alcohol and amine acceptor substrates. Kinetic characterization showed that shikimic and quinic acids for ester formation as well as 3‐hydroxyanthranilic acid and tryptamine for ...

A metabarcoding protocol targeting two DNA regions to analyze root-associated fungal communities in ferns and lycophytes. [PDF]
Appl Plant Sci, 2023 Abstract Premise Detailed studies of the fungi associated with lycophytes and ferns provide crucial insights into the early evolution of land plants. However, most investigations to date have assessed fern–fungus interactions based only on visual root inspection. In the present research, we establish and evaluate a metabarcoding protocol to analyze the

Diversity-Elevation Relationships of Vascular Plants in Austral Temperate Ecosystems Are Strata Dependent. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated diversity patterns of vascular plants of overstorey and understorey vegetation separately per stratum and the influence of anthropogenic disturbances along two elevational transects with contrasting slope aspects in a temperate rainforest and alpine scrub in southern Chile.

Fires in rainforests: Quantifying litter bed flammability of cool temperate rainforests in eastern Australia. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise Rainforests are usually too wet to burn, acting as natural barriers to fire spread and as refuges for biodiversity. However, climate change is increasing the risk of fire incursion into rainforests. Our capacity to manage these impacts is hindered by limited research on rainforest flammability.

Non‐seed plants are emerging gene sources for agriculture and insect control proteins
The Plant Journal, Volume 116, Issue 1, Page 23-37, October 2023., 2023 SUMMARY The non‐seed plants (e.g., charophyte algae, bryophytes, and ferns) have multiple human uses, but their contributions to agriculture and research have lagged behind seed plants. While sharing broadly conserved biology with seed plants and the major crops, non‐seed plants sometimes possess alternative molecular and physiological adaptations ...
