Angiosperms that morphologically and physiologically attach to other flowering plants by
means of a haustorium have evolved 12 times independently resulting in 292 genera and …

Angiosperms and their flowers have greatly diversified into an overwhelming array of forms
in the past 135 million years. Diversification was shaped by changes in climate and the …

Background Flowering plants (angiosperms) are dominant components of global terrestrial
ecosystems, but phylogenetic relationships at the familial level and above remain only …

An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) classification of the orders and
families of angiosperms is presented. Several new orders are recognized: Boraginales …

Reconstructing the origin and evolution of land plants and their algal relatives is a
fundamental problem in plant phylogenetics, and is essential for understanding how critical …

The establishment of modern terrestrial life is indissociable from angiosperm evolution.
While available molecular clock estimates of angiosperm age range from the Paleozoic to …

flowering plants (angiosperms) in the fossil record as an “abominable mystery.” Identifying …

The woodland strawberry, Fragaria vesca (2 n= 2 x= 14), is a versatile experimental plant
system. This diminutive herbaceous perennial has a small genome (240 Mb), is amenable to …
