The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Plagiogyria euphlebia, a fascinating fern with important taxonomic significance.

a group of ferns called the tree ferns. Researchers have successfully sequenced the entire chloroplast genome of a fern called Osmunda claytoniana. The genome consists of 161,046 base pairs, containing 133 genes, including 89 protein-coding genes. The genome revealed that O. claytoniana is closely related to tree ferns. This study offers important taxonomic information and could be used in further studies regarding fern evolution.
