چکیده

Dolichols isolated from leaves of the fern Matteucia struthiopteris were present as a mixture of prenologues composed of 14 up to 20 isoprene units with Dol-16 dominating. They comprised approximately 0.004% of the fresh weight of fresh plant tissue and were accompanied by traces of polyprenols (Pren-14 up to Pren-17, Pren-16 dominating). Their structure was confirmed by electropray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). This is the first time that dolichols have been reported as dominating polyisoprenoid alcohols in plant photosynthetic tissue.

Cytological Features of the Egg Cell Protoplasts Isolated from Gametophytes of Fern, Struthiopteris niponica (Kunze) Nakai

Egg cell protoplasts were isolated from the gametophyte of the fern, Struthiopteris niponica (Kunze) Nakai. Archegonia were excised from the prothallia and then digested in an enzyme solution that contained Cellulase "Onozuka" RS and Macerozyme R-10. After 3 hours of incubation, the egg cell protoplasts had separated completely from the somatic cells. The protoplasts had such cytological featur...

Biologic effects of plant toxins and aflatoxins in rats.

After weaning, groups of rats were fed a semi-purified diet containing fiddlehead greens (the unfuried frond of the ostrich fern Matteuccia struthiopteris), mature bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum), or cycad meal (Cycas circinalis), or this diet plus aflatoxin B1. The groups fed 1-10% fiddlehead greens for 70-73 weeks developed no tumors, whereas those fed mature bracken fern for 67 weeks deve...

Biochemistry of fern spore germination: protease activity in ostrich fern spores.

Protease activities were detected in quiescent and germinating spores of the ostrich fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris [L.] Todaro). Peak endopeptidase, aminopeptidase, and carboxypeptidase activities were detected 12 to 24 hours after spores began imbibing under light. There was a correlation between activities of proteases, the onset of a decline in levels of soluble protein, and an increase in...

Fern rhizomes as fodder in Norway

BACKGROUND Although ferns are often known under collective names in Norway, e.g. blom, a substantial number of vernacular names for individual fern species are known, in particular for useful or poisonous taxa. In the past, the rhizomes (Norwegian: moldfôr) of selected species were collected for fodder. Only scattered records of such use are available from southern Norway, and the tradition's c...
