Nonclassical P450s of the CYP74 family catalyse the secondary conversions of fatty acid hydroperoxides to bioactive oxylipins in plants. The model organism, spikemoss Selaginella moellendorffii Hieron, possesses at least ten CYP74 genes of novel J, K, L, and M subfamilies. The cloning of three CYP74L genes and catalytic properties of recombinant proteins are described in the present work. The CYP74L1 possessed mainly hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) activity towards the 13(S)-hydroperoxide of α-linolenic acids (13-HPOT) and nearly equal HPL and allene oxide synthase (AOS) activities towards the 13(S)-hydroperoxide of linoleic acids (13-HPOD). The 9-hydroperoxides were poor substrates for CYP74L1 and led to the production of mainly the α-ketols (AOS products) and minorities of HPL and epoxyalcohol synthase (EAS) products. The CYP74L2 possessed the AOS activity towards all tested hydroperoxides. CYP74L3 possessed low HPL/EAS activity. Besides, the aerial parts of S. moellendorffii plants possessed complex oxylipins patterns including divinyl ethers, epoxyalcohols, and 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid. Characterization of the CYP74L enzymes and oxylipin pattern updates the knowledge on the complex oxylipin biosynthetic machinery in the surviving oldest taxa of vascular plants.

Background: The monogeneric family Selaginellaceae is made up of about 700 species distributed throughout the world, but the most concentrated part is in tropical and subtropical areas. According to the most recent infrageneric classification of the genus , six or seven subgenera can be recognised and perhaps 700 species. The genus is monophyletic, cosmopolitan, characterised by the presence of rhizophores, ligulated leaves and has a reniform adaxial sporangia with two type of spores (heterospory).

Over the course of evolution, land plant mitochondrial genomes have lost many transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and the import of nucleus-encoded tRNAs is essential for mitochondrial protein synthesis. By contrast, plastidial genomes of photosynthetic land plants generally possess a complete set of tRNA genes and the existence of plastidial tRNA import remains a long-standing question. The early vascular plants of the Selaginella genus show an extensive loss of plastidial tRNA genes while retaining photosynthetic capacity, and represent an ideal model for answering this question.

We report the first total synthesis of the natural product selaginpulvilin X, a selaginellaceae polyphenol class of compounds. Our synthetic strategy employs cross-coupling reactions and an organolithium addition to construct the carbon framework. Subsequently, the functional group modifications and deprotection yield the natural product.

Selaginella tamariscina extracts (STS), total flavonoids of Selaginella tamariscina (TFST) and the main active component amentoflavone (AMT) have hypoglycaemic-mitigating effects, but their efficacy and mechanism of action in db/db mice are unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the hypoglycaemic effects of Selaginella tamariscina and its extracts in db/db diabetic mice and explore their mechanisms through gut microbiota modulation and metabolomics. Sixty male db/db mice were divided into model (db/db), STS (1.

Desiccation tolerance is a complex biological phenomenon that allows certain plants to survive extreme dehydration and revive upon rehydration. Although significant progress has been made in understanding the physiological and molecular mechanisms involved in desiccation tolerance, recovery mechanisms after prolonged desiccation periods are enigmatic. Combining physiological, biochemical, transcriptomic and metabolomic approaches, we investigated the role of prolonged desiccation on recovery of Selaginella bryopteris.
