Recent studies show that the family comprises seven major Dipsacales clades: Linnaeoideae, Zabelia, Morinoideae, Dipsacoideae, Valerianoideae, Caprifolioideae, and Diervilloideae. Plastome However, its phylogeny at the subfamily or genus level remains controversial, and the backbone relationships Phylogenetics among subfamilies are incompletely resolved. In this study, we utilized complete plastome sequencing to resolve the relationships among the subfamilies of the Caprifoliaceae s.l. and clarify several long-standing controversies. We generated and analyzed plastomes of 48 accessions of Caprifoliaceae s.l., representing 44 species, six sub- families and one genus. -
Morphological and Anatomical Adaptations to Dry, Shady Environments in Adiantum Reniforme Var
Morphological and anatomical adaptations to dry, shady environments in Adiantum reniforme var. sinense (Pteridaceae) Di Wu1, Linbao Li1, Xiaobo Ma1, Guiyun Huang1 and Chaodong Yang2 1 Rare Plants Research Institute of Yangtze River, Three Gorges Corporation, Yichang, China 2 Engineering Research Center of Ecology and Agriculture Use of Wetland, Ministry of Education, Yangtze University, Jingzhou, China ABSTRACT The natural distribution of the rare perennial fern Adiantum reniforme var. sinense (Pteridaceae), which is endemic to shady cliff environments, is limited to small areas of Wanzhou County, Chongqing, China. In this study, we used brightfield and epifluorescence microscopy to investigate the anatomical structures and histochemical features that may allow this species to thrive in shady, dry cliff environments. The A. reniforme var. sinense sporophyte had a primary structure and a dictyostele. The plants of this species had an endodermis, sclerenchyma layers and hypodermal sterome, reflecting an adaption to dry cliff environments. Blades had a thin cuticle and isolateral mesophyll, suggesting a tolerance of shady environments. These characteristics are similar to many sciophyte ferns such as Lygodium japonicum and Pteris multifida. Thus, the morphological and anatomical characteristics of A. reniforme var. sinense identified in this study are consistent with adaptations to shady, dry cliff environments. Subjects Conservation Biology, Plant Science Keywords Endodermis, Dictyostele, Sclerenchyma layer, Suberin lamellae, Thin cuticle Submitted 14 April 2020 Accepted 24 August 2020 INTRODUCTION Published 30 September 2020 Adiantum reniforme var. sinense (Pteridaceae, subfamily Vittarioideae) is a rare Corresponding authors Guiyun Huang, cliff-dwelling perennial pteridophyte, with a natural distribution limited to small areas of [email protected] Wanzhou County, Chongqing, China. -

This broad generic concept has been adopted in several recent taxonomic treatments, including the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group I. However, the infrageneric taxonomy of Deparia still needs further revision. In this study, we provide a new infrageneric classification with five sections and three subsections based on the phylogenetic evidence. -

Leaves, roots, stem of the plant are mainly used in the treatment of kidney stone, diabetes, fungal infection, thyroid and respiratory disorder. This review article is presented to compose all the new information on its phytochemical and pharmacological activities. Studies indicate Hansraj (Adiantum capillus-veneris) possesses antioxidant, wound healing action, anti-microbial and anti-fungal, anti-diabetic, antipyretic activity, it is contraindicated in pregnancy due to its anti-implantation effect. Most common use of Hansraj (Adiantum capillus- veneris) in hair problem because it prevent from alopecia and dandruff. These results are very motivating and indicate this herb should be more explore to confirm these results and reveal other potential and protective effect. Clinical trials using Hansraj (Adiantum capillus-veneris) for a variety of conditions should also be conducted. -

Rothfels and Michael A. Sundue contributed equally to this work. Author for correspondence: Carl J. Rothfels, [email protected] Abstract We present a family-level classification for the eupolypod II clade of leptosporangiate ferns, one of the two major lineages within the Eupolypods, and one of the few parts of the fern tree of life where family-level relationships were not well understood at the time of publication of the 2006 fern classification by Smith & al. Comprising over 2500 species, the composition and particularly the relationships among the major clades of this group have historically been contentious and defied phylogenetic resolution until very recently. -
Medicinal Ferns of Kashmir, India. Wani M
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BIOASSAYS ISSN: 2278-778X CODEN: IJBNHY ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS Medicinal Ferns of Kashmir, India. Wani M. H.*1, Shah M. Y.2 and A. R. Naqshi3 1, 2Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, India. 3Department of Botany, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, India. Received: May 13, 2016; Accepted: May 22, 2016 Available online: 1st July 2016 Abstract: A comprehensive account is presented of fern-allies and ferns known to occur in Kashmir Valley, Gurez (Kishenganga Valley) and Ladakh, which have recognized medicinal value. Out of the total number of 113 taxa (7 taxa of fern allies and 106 taxa of ferns) recorded from the area, a significant proportion (34%) is medicinally important. Amongst these, the genera Dryopteris (07) and Asplenium (06) have the highest number of medicinally important taxa. For each taxon included is provided the botanical name, family, common/vernacular name (wherever available), parts used, medicinal properties, chemical constituents etc. Key words: Chemical constituents; Comprehensive account; Fern allies; Medicinal value; Vernacular names. Introduction Area of study The pteridophytes, which include the fern-allies The Kashmir Valley lies embedded within the and ferns, are a group of ancient or primitive land Himalaya at an average height of about 1600 m, vascular plants with worldwide distribution. As per between the coordinates 33.20° to 34.54° N and the latest estimates (Wani et al., 2012), the area of 73.55° to 75.35° E, and is approximately 135 Km study has 6 species and 1 subspecies (total 7 taxa) in length and 32-40 Km in breadth.
