General Uses Top
Suggest a correction!Common products:
Selaginella delicatula is primarily employed as a source of biological material for molecular research. Whole plants or fresh tissue are harvested for DNA extraction, and the complete chloroplast genome has been sequenced and deposited in public sequence repositories (e.g., GenBank accession numbers). These genomic resources are used for phylogenetic analyses within Selaginellaceae and for comparative studies of lycophyte plastid evolution. In addition, the species is cultivated under controlled greenhouse conditions to provide standardized plant material for reproducible laboratory protocols. The plant’s small, delicate fronds and growth habit make it suitable for aseptic culture and tissue sampling.
Properties relevant to use:
The chloroplast genome of S. delicatula is a circular DNA molecule of approximately 150 kbp, organized into the typical quadripartite structure: large single‑copy (LSC ~84 kbp), small single‑copy (SSC ~16 kbp) and two inverted repeat (IR) regions (~25 kbp each). The overall GC content of the plastome is about 36 %, and the gene complement mirrors that of other Selaginella species, including all photosystem, NADH‑dehydrogenase and ribosomal protein genes. This conserved gene order and moderate GC bias facilitate high‑quality assembly and alignment for phylogenetic reconstruction. The genome contains few unique rearrangements compared with related Selaginella plastomes, making it a reliable reference for whole‑plastome phylogenomics and for investigating genome evolution in early vascular plants.
Standards and regulation:
The nucleotide sequence data are stored in GenBank and follow the NCBI data submission standards, which require deposition of voucher specimens (herbarium accession numbers) and metadata on sampling location and collector. Access to these sequences complies with the open‑access policies of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC). No specific commercial regulations apply to the use of the plant for research purposes.
Sustainability and sourcing:
Specimens used for genomic studies are generally wild‑collected under appropriate collecting permits, or cultivated from spores or clonal propagation to minimize impact on natural populations. Propagation protocols have been published for Selaginella species, allowing sustainable provision of material for laboratory use without depleting native habitats.
