The Neotropical fern genera Eriosorus and Jamesonia have long been thought of as close relatives. Molecular phylogenetic studies have confirmed this notion but have also revealed that neither genus is monophyletic with respect to the other. As a result, all known species of Eriosorus were recently subsumed under the older generic name Jamesonia. Here, through an analysis of a four-gene plastid ...

Adiantum capillus (AC) Linn (Family: Adiantaceae) commonly known as “Hansraj” It is used in common cold, cough, pyrexia inflammation, acts purgative. improves digestion and renal function. This study was performed to investigate the hepato-defensive potential of contradiction carbon tetrachloride tempted hepatic damage rats. The rodents were dosed with Acetonic extract (AEAC, 500mg/kg) against ...

The phototropins constitute an important class of plant photoreceptor kinases that control a range of physiological responses, including phototropism, light-directed chloroplast movement, and light-induced stomatal opening. The LOV2 domain of phototropin binds a molecule of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and undergoes a photocycle involving light-driven covalent adduct formation between a conserve...

The present study evaluates the antioxidant and antibacterial activities as well chemical composition of aerial part Adiantum capillus-veneris L., which are endemic to flora Algeria. total phenolic amount hydromethanolic extract, measured by Folin-Ciocalteu reagent procedure, was found be about 23.44 ± 0.14 mg GAE/g DW, while flavonoid content value 4.66 0.01 CE/g aluminum chloride colorimetric...
