Heterochrony acts as a fundamental process affecting the early development of organisms
in creating a subtle shift in the timing of initiation or the duration of a developmental process …

抄録< jats: p> Phyllotaxis, the study of the patterns exhibited by leaves and other organs of
plants, raises some of the deepest questions of plant morphogenesis. What principles of …

The application of homology varies depending on the data being examined. This volume
represents a state-of-the-art treatment of the different applications of this unifying concept …

The Caryophyllales have the highest diversity in androecial patterns among flowering plants
with stamen numbers ranging from 1 up to 4,000. Thanks to the recent progress in …

The two most prominent model species for the study of different aspects of floral
development, Arabidopsis thaliana and Antirrhinum majus, are members of large families …

When simple shoots and flowers are examined, a restricted set of patterns is found.
Characterization involves three levels of scale:(1) The overall array is roughly radially …

The term merosity stands for the number of parts within whorls of floral organs, leaves, or
stems. Trimery is considered to be a basic condition that arose through the cyclisation of a …

Compared to animals, plants have been largely neglected in evolutionary developmental
biology. Mainstream research has focused on developmental genetics, while a rich body of …

The spiromonostichous phyllotaxy of Costus, and other Costaceae, is characterized by low
divergence angles, often as low as (30⚬-) 50⚬. This constrasts with the main series …

Seventeen morphological characters are described and plotted on a phylogeny of the
eudicots. The distribution of perianth characters demonstrates that the currently held view …
