The origin and diversification of Amaryllidaceae: A phylogenetic and biogeographic analysis. [PDF]
Abstract Premise Previous angiosperm‐wide studies estimated that the geophytic family Amaryllidaceae diverged in Africa 87.00–46.77 million years ago (mya), spanning the Cretaceous and Palaeogene periods, including multiple important climatic and geological events.

Multiple Developmental Pathways Leading to a Single Morph: Monosulcate Pollen (Examples From the Asparagales) [PDF]
Early developmental events in microsporogenesis are known to play a role in pollen morphology: variation in cytokinesis type, cell wall formation, tetrad shape and aperture polarity are responsible for pollen aperture patterning. Despite the existence of other morphologies, monosulcate pollen is one of the most common aperture types in monocots, and is

Duckweeds: Model organisms for research on plant sterols and steroids. [PDF]
Duckweeds (Lemnaceae), the fastest‐growing angiosperms and promising vegan protein source, offer a powerful model to address key questions in plant physiology. This article highlights their potential for dissecting the biosynthesis and function of phytosterols, sterol conjugates, brassinosteroids, and specialized steroidal metabolites, such as ...

Spermatophyta Molecular Clock: Time Drift and Recent Acceleration. [PDF]
Exponential increase in the base substitution rate in recent geologic time. ABSTRACT Angiospermae radiation is widely recognized as a mid‐Cretaceous event, but the adaptive radiation of Asarum and Viola as spring ephemerals also occurred during the Quaternary. To better understand the evolution of Angiospermae through geological time, a robust and well‐
