Angiosperm paleobotany has widened its horizons, incorporated new techniques,
developed new databases, and accepted new questions that can now focus on the evolution …

The fossil record of angiosperms has more potential than ever for contributing to the
resolution of major questions in the evolution of the flowering plants due to the better …

Although they are relative latecomers on the evolutionary scene, having emerged only 135?
170 million years ago, angiosperms—or flowering plants—are the most diverse and species …

The origins of angiosperms are still debated, despite many years of work by scientists from
differing disciplines. The progress made toward resolving the problem is reviewed in this …

Recent palaeobotanical studies have greatly increased the quantity and quality of
information available about the structure and relationships of Cretaceous angiosperms …

The phylogeny of angiosperms presented by various authors is based principally upon our
knowledge of modern plants. The fossil history of flowering plants has had little influence …

Questions about the origin, early evolution, and basal phylogeny of the flowering plants
have been areas of ferment in botanical research for nearly 25 years. Rapid progress toward …

The angiosperms, one of five groups of extant seed plants, are the largest group of land
plants. Despite their relatively recent origin, this clade is extremely diverse morphologically …

Angiosperms are the most diversified plant group in the world, being represented by ca
300,000 species in about 400 families. Like all of Life, including ourselves, they have had …

The origin of the angiosperms has long remained problematical. Recent new discoveries of
early angiosperm fossils and many new molecular phylogenies have helped to identify …
