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 …

Carotenoids and flavonoids including anthocyanins are the predominant pigments in
flowering plants, where they play important roles in pollination, seed dispersal, protection …

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

Background The use of transcriptomic and genomic datasets for phylogenetic reconstruction
has become increasingly common as researchers attempt to resolve recalcitrant nodes with …

A revised and updated classification for the families of flowering plants is provided. Many
recent studies have yielded increasingly detailed evidence for the positions of formerly …

• Premise of the study: Recent analyses employing up to five genes have provided
numerous insights into angiosperm phylogeny, but many relationships have remained …

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 aim of the present study was to infer a substantially larger, more evenly sampled,
phylogenetic tree for Caryophyllaceae in order to more confidently resolve relationships …

The Caryophyllales includes 40 families and 12,500 species, representing a large and
diverse clade of angiosperms. Collectively, members of the clade grow on all continents and …
