Evolution of strigolactone receptors by gradual neofunctionalization of KAI2 paralogues [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Strigolactones (SLs) are a class of plant hormones that control many aspects of plant growth. The SL signalling mechanism is homologous to that of karrikins (KARs), smoke-derived compounds that stimulate seed germination.

Deep reticulation: the long legacy of hybridization in vascular plant evolution
The Plant Journal, Volume 114, Issue 4, Page 743-766, May 2023., 2023 SUMMARY Hybridization has long been recognized as a fundamental evolutionary process in plants but, until recently, our understanding of its phylogenetic distribution and biological significance across deep evolutionary scales has been largely obscure. Over the past decade, genomic and phylogenomic datasets have revealed, perhaps not surprisingly, that

Leaf energy balance modelling as a tool to infer habitat preference in the early angiosperms [PDF]
, 2015 Despite more than a century of research, some key aspects of habitat preference and ecology of the earliest angiosperms remain poorly constrained. Proposed growth ecology has varied from opportunistic weedy species growing in full sun to slow-growing ...

Characterization of the basal angiosperm Aristolochia fimbriata: a potential experimental system for genetic studies [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Previous studies in basal angiosperms have provided insight into the diversity within the angiosperm lineage and helped to polarize analyses of flowering plant evolution.

Analysis of 81 Genes From 64 Plastid Genomes Resolves Relationships in Angiosperms and Identifies Genome-Scale Evolutionary Patterns [PDF]
, 2007 Angiosperms are the largest and most successful clade of land plants with \u3e250,000 species distributed in nearly every terrestrial habitat. Many phylogenetic studies have been based on DNA sequences of one to several genes, but, despite decades of ...

Evolution of the SPATULA/ALCATRAZ gene lineage and expression analyses in the basal eudicot, Bocconia frutescens L. (Papaveraceae) [PDF]
, 2017 Background SPATULA (SPT) and ALCATRAZ (ALC) are recent paralogs that belong to the large bHLH transcription factor family. Orthologs of these genes have been found in all core eudicots, whereas pre-duplication genes, named paleoSPATULA/ALCATRAZ, have ...

Steps Toward a Natural System of the Dicotyledons [PDF]
, 1991 Embryological character states are mapped on the diagrams of dicotyledons (G. Dahlgren 1989). The often well-defined pattern of distribution forms a basis for discussing and clarifying phylogenetic relations.

Incidence, correlates, and origins of dioecy in the Island Flora of New Caledonia [PDF]
, 2014 Premise of research. Because it is an inherently risky sexual system, dioecy is globally rare. Attempts to explain unusually high incidences of dioecy on certain islands have generated a considerable literature on the relationships among dioecy, its ...
