Horsetails Are Ancient Polyploids: Evidence from Equisetum giganteum.
Horsetails represent an enigmatic clade within the land plants. Despite consisting only of one genus (Equisetum) that contains 15 species, they are thought to represent the oldest extant genus within the vascular plants dating back possibly as far as the Triassic. Horsetails have retained several ancient features and are also characterized by a particularly high chromosome count (n = 108). Whol...
متن کاملEffect of Aqueous Extract of Giant Horsetail (Equisetum giganteum L.) in Antigen-Induced Arthritis

To evaluate the effect of aqueous extract of giant horsetail (AEGH) as immunomodulatory therapy, antigen-induced arthritis (AIA) was generated in mice with methylated bovine serum albumin (mBSA). Inflammation was evalu...

That being said, I think a lot has changed for the better in the last 20 years that I have been in science and the climate is still improving. A second challenge that women ...
متن کاملPHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS AND EVOLUTION OF EXTANT HORSETAILS, EQUISETUM, BASED ON CHLOROPLAST DNA SEQUENCE DATA (rbcL AND trnL-F)
Equisetum is a small and morphologically distinct genus with a rich fossil record. Two subgenera have been recognized based principally on stomatal position and stem branching: subg. Equisetum (eight species; superficial stomates; stems branched) and subg. Hippochaete (seven species; sunken stomates; stems generally unbranched). Prior attempts at understanding Equisetum systematics, phylogeny, ...
