We determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the chloroplast genome of the leptosporangiate fern, Adiantum capillus-veneris L. (Pteridaceae). The circular genome is 150,568 bp, with a large single-copy region (LSC) of 82,282 bp, a small-single copy region (SSC) of 21,392 bp and inverted repeats (IR) of 23,447 bp each. We compared the sequence to other published chloroplast genomes to infer...

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...

A seed is an intricate structure. Of the two development processes involved in seed formation, seed maturation, or seed program includes accumulation of storage products, acquisition of desiccation tolerance, and induction of dormancy. Little is known about how these processes were originated and integrated into the life cycle of seed plants. While previous investigation on seed origin was almo...
