A new neolignan, selamoellenin A (1), was isolated from the whole plants of Selaginella moellendorffii Hieron. The structure was elucidated on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic methods (1D/2D NMR and HRMS). Compound 1 was evaluated for its protective effect against high glucose-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) damage in vitro.

The evolutionary conservation of type III polyketide synthases (PKS) in Selaginella has been elucidated, and the critical amino acid residues of the anther-specific chalcone synthase-like enzyme (SmASCL) have been identified. Selaginella species are the oldest known vascular plants and a valuable resource for the study of metabolic evolution in land plants. Polyketides, especially flavonoids and sporopollenin precursors, are essential prerequisites for plant land colonization.

Anthocyanin regulation can be fruitfully explored from a diverse perspective by studying distantly related model organisms. Land plants pioneers faced a huge evolutionary leap, involving substantial physiological and genetic changes. Anthocyanins have evolved alongside these changes, becoming versatile compounds capable of mitigating terrestrial challenges such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures and high radiation.

The genus holds a key phylogenetic position as a sister species to vascular plants, encompassing desiccation-tolerant members. Some species thrive in extremely arid conditions, enduring significant water loss and recovering upon rehydration. Consequently, has emerged as a model system for studying desiccation tolerance in plant science.

The latest research shows that ferns and lycophytes have distinct evolutionary lineages. The codon usage patterns of lycophytes and ferns have not yet been documented. To investigate the gene expression profiles across various plant lineages with respect to codon usage, analyze the disparities and determinants of gene evolution in primitive plant species, and identify appropriate exogenous gene expression platforms, the whole-genome sequences of four distinct species were retrieved from the NCBI database.
