Foliar micromorphology as a tool for identification of Indian taxa of Polygonaceae
Polygonaceae, a morphologically diverse family, cosmopolite to temperate region. In India, the family has extensive array of distribution from the coastal plains to the subtropical temperate region and almost to the subalpine regions.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Lipoxygenase (LOX) Genes in Angiosperms
Lipoxygenases (LOXs) are enzymes that catalyze the addition of an oxygen molecule to unsaturated fatty acids, thus forming hydroperoxides. In plants, these enzymes are encoded by a multigene family found in several organs with varying activity patterns ...

A large-scale species level dated angiosperm phylogeny for evolutionary and ecological analyses [PDF]
Phylogenies are a central and indispensable tool for evolutionary and ecological research. Even though most angiosperm families are well investigated from a phylogenetic point of view, there are far less possibilities to carry out large-scale meta ...

Origin of Angiosperms: Problems, Challenges, and Solutions
Angiosperms are frequently assumed to constitute a monophyletic group. Therefore, the origin of angiosperms is a key question in systematic botany since the answer to this question is hinged with many questions concerned with angiosperm evolution ...

Does polyploidy inhibit sex chromosome evolution in angiosperms?
Dioecy is rare in flowering plants (5–6% of species), but is often controlled genetically by sex-linked regions (SLRs). It has so far been unclear whether, polyploidy affects sex chromosome evolution, as it does in animals, though polyploidy is quite ...

As representative of the early-divergent groups of angiosperms, Saxifragales is extremely divergent in morphology, comprising 15 families. Within this order, our previous case studies observed significant structural diversities among the plastomes of ...

New Fossil Evidence Suggests That Angiosperms Flourished in the Middle Jurassic
Angiosperms are a group of plants with the highest rate of evolution, the largest number of species, the widest distribution and the strongest adaptability. Needless to say, angiosperms are the most important group for the humans.

Patterns of Symmetry Expression in Angiosperms: Developmental and Evolutionary Lability
Variation in flower symmetry is a remarkable aspect of flowering plant diversity. Multiple evolutionary transitions from an ancestral form of radial symmetry to bilateral symmetry and reversals from bilateral to radial symmetry have occurred during ...

The Occurrence and Distribution of Oleanane Biomarkers in Crude Oils as an Index [PDF]
Oleanane biomarkers are age diagnostic indicators and source of organic matter input in fossil fuels which can unravels the stage of development of a petroleum system in the petroleum generating rock. Representative samples of crude oil obtained from two

Third-codon transversion rate-based _Nymphaea_ basal angiosperm phylogeny -- concordance with developmental evidence [PDF]
Flowering plants (angiosperms) appeared on Earth rather suddenly approximately 130 million years ago and underwent a massive expansion in the subsequent 10-12 million years.
