Foliar micromorphology as a tool for identification of Indian taxa of Polygonaceae
Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2021 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
Plants, 2023 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]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2020 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
Life, 2023 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?
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 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 ...

Pseudanthia in angiosperms: a review [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2023 AbstractBackgroundPseudanthia or ‘false flowers’ are multiflowered units that resemble solitary flowers in form and function. Over the last century the term ‘pseudanthium’ has been applied to a wide array of morphologically divergent blossoms, ranging from those with easily noticeable florets to derived, reduced units in which individual flowers become

Plants, 2022 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
Life, 2023 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
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 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 ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The recently proposed concept of ´endangered living fossils’ (ELFs) integrates high-endangered status and evolutionary singularity for any species. In this review, I gathered monotypic genera (single-species genera) that satisfy the three ELF criteria ...
