Scallops, Pecten maximus, accumulate cadmium naturally in the digestive gland to a level of approximately 100 ppm wet weight. Of this cadmium, 60% was soluble and was composed of three weight classes as judged by Sephadex G-100 chromatography. Of the soluble cadmium, 60% was in the 55,000 molecular weight range and 20% each in an excluded fraction and a 10,000 molecular weight fraction. The 55,...

Premise Recent studies of plant RNA editing have demonstrated that the number sites can vary widely among large taxonomic groups (orders, families). Yet, very little is known about intrageneric variation in frequency editing, and no study has been conducted ferns. Methods We determined plastid RNA-editing counts for two species Adiantum (Pteridaceae), A. shastense aleuticum, by implementing a p...

Plants are susceptible to various environmental constrains, including heat stress due their sessile nature. Endophytic fungi can be used as a novel technique protect crop plants against the injurious effects of thermal stress. were isolated from Adiantum capillus-veneris L. and tested in Glycine max Helianthus annuus The results exhibited increased levels plant’s chlorophyll, height biomass Asp...

The field of molecular ecology is transitioning from the use of small panels of classical genetic markers such as microsatellites to much larger panels of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) generated by approaches like RAD sequencing. However, few empirical studies have directly compared the ability of these methods to resolve population structure. This could have implications for understan...
