Comprising 501 genera and around 14,000 species, Papilionoideae is not only the largest
subfamily of Fabaceae (Leguminosae; legumes), but also one of the most extraordinarily …

The contemporary evolutionary developmental biology includes molecular phylogeny,
studies on morphology and morphogenesis, genetics, and genomics. The most reliable …

Detarioideae is well known for its high diversity of floral traits, including flower symmetry,
number of organs, and petal size and morphology. This diversity has been characterized …

Abstract The genus Mimosa L.(Leguminosae; Caesalpinioideae; mimosoid clade),
comprising more than 500 species, is an intriguing genus because, like other members of …

A considerable number of papilionoid legumes have a basal stalk that supports the
gynoecium in their flowers. We studied the ontogeny and morphoanatomy of Bowdichia …

Although the great majority of legume species are cosexual with hermaphrodite flowers, a
variety of sexual systems are observed in the family, including monoecy, andromonoecy …

Phylogenetic analyses of early-diverging Faboideae have indicated that genera previously
positioned in distinct tribes are instead closely related, eg in the Amburaneae clade, and the …

The presence of glandular appendages in the anthers is a rare condition in angiosperms. In
Leguminosae it occurs in species of the Mimosoid clade and in early‐branching clades of …

Non-papilionate and actinomorphic flowers have evolved independently in Papilionoideae,
and few ontogeny studies are available about them. The objective of the present study was …

Floral ontogeny can assist in understanding formation of mature floral structure and provide
taxonomic and evolutionary insights at the species and genus level. In this study, floral …
