Botanical characteristics, toxicity and control of bracken fern (pteridium aquilinum (l.) kuhn)
Zbornik Veleučilišta u Rijeci, 2022 Bracken (Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn) is cosmopolitan fern, found at varying altitudes on all continents except Antarctica. It is an aggressive colonizer and can appear in various plant communities, but an important characteristic is its ability to ...

Bracken growth, toxin production and transfer from plant to soil: a 2-year monitoring study
Environmental Sciences Europe, 2021 Background Bracken fern ( Pteridium aquilinum ) produces several toxic glycosides, of which ptaquiloside (PTA) is the most well documented. PTA is released from bracken to soil and leaches to surface water and to groundwater.

Biological Protein Value of Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn
Техника и технология пищевых производств, 2022 Contemporary human diet is poor in proteins. Therefore, the modern food science should find new sources of high-grade protein. The bracken fern is rich in proteins can be an unconventional solution to this problem. The research objective was to study the

Bracken: estimating species abundance in metagenomics data
bioRxiv, 2016 We describe a new, highly accurate statistical method that computes the abundance of species in DNA sequences from a metagenomics sample. Bracken (Bayesian Reestimation of Abundance after Classification with KrakEN) uses the taxonomy labels assigned by ...

Journal of chromatography. B, Analytical technologies in the biomedical and life sciences, 2020 Ptaquiloside (PTA) is an illudane glycoside partly responsible for the carcinogenicity of bracken ferns (Pteridium sp.). The PTA analogues ptesculentoside (PTE) and caudatoside (CAU) have similar biochemical reactivity. However, both compounds are highly
