International Journal of Plant Sciences, Vol. 161, No. S6, Current Perspectives on Basal Angiosperms (November 2000), pp. S97-S107 (11 pages) Patterns and trends in angiosperm evolution can only be ...

Sequencing of the water lily’s genome has shed light on the early evolution of angiosperms, flowering plants. Utilizing high-throughput next-generation sequencing technology, an international team of ...

Early angiosperms represent a pivotal chapter in plant evolution, marked by rapid diversification and profound ecological impact during the Early Cretaceous. These flowering plants, distinguished by ...

Machine generated contents note: Preface; 1. Introduction to angiosperms; 2. The nature of the angiosperm fossil record; 3. The environmental context of early angiosperm evolution; 4. Stratigraphic ...

Flowering plants (angiosperms) dominate most terrestrial ecosystems, providing the bulk of human food. However, their origin has been a mystery since the earliest days of evolutionary thought.

The flowering plants that dominate modern vegetation possess leaf gas exchange potentials that far exceed those of all other living or extinct plants. The great divide in maximal ability to exchange ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol have identified the huge impact of flowering plants on the evolution of life on Earth. Flowering plants today include most of the plants humans eat or drink, ...

A collaborative research group has succeeded in identifying an important transcription factor, GCAM1, which allows liverwort plants to asexually reproduce through creating clonal progenies (vegetative ...

They are very tiny, but they are a key source of information when it comes to Earth's evolutionary history: pollen grains are usually no larger than 20 micrometers, or 0.02 millimeters. Using these ...

A new study by researchers from the University of Bath (UK) and Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (Mexico) shows that flowering plants escaped relatively unscathed from the mass extinction that ...
