Genome evolution in plants and the origins of innovation
JW Clark - New Phytologist, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Plant evolution has been characterised by a series of major novelties in their vegetative and
reproductive traits that have led to greater complexity. Underpinning this diversification has …
