High impact information on Ferns

  • Although this compound had previously been isolated from the fern Blechnum minus and postulated to be the precursor of alpha-ecdysone, it had not been obtained from insect material [1].
  • These two polyamines were not detected in any species of Pteridophyta, Gymnospermae, and fungi even though their possible precursor, diaminopropane, was found in some species [2].
  • G. japonica ferredoxin did not show a close sequence homology with the ferredoxins from horsetails, which, like ferns, belong to Pteridophyta, or with those from plants of different taxonomical groups [3].
  • Formaldehyde, as its dimedone adduct, formaldemethone, has been detected and quantified in all species of Pteridophyta examined [4].
  • Botanical remedies of the former Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). Part I: Eumycetes, Pteridophyta, Gymnospermae, Angiospermae (Monocotyledones only) [5].
 

Associations of Ferns with chemical compounds

  • Plants known to contain any of the 28 oncogens (excluding shikimic acid and caffeine) have been tabulated; they represent at least 454 species, 110 genera, and 34 families of Spermatophyta and Pteridophyta [6].
