Phylogeography of a Tertiary relict plant, Meconopsis cambrica (Papaveraceae), implies the existence of northern refugia for a temperate herb [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The perennial herb Meconopsis cambrica, a western European endemic, is the only European species of the otherwise Himalayan genus Meconopsis and has been interpreted as a Tertiary relict species.

Extensive variation in synonymous substitution rates in mitochondrial genes of seed plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background It has long been known that rates of synonymous substitutions are unusually low in mitochondrial genes of flowering and other land plants. Although two dramatic exceptions to this pattern have recently been reported, it is unclear how often ...

Phylogenetic conservatism and biogeographic affinity influence woody plant species richness–climate relationships in eastern Eurasia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Mechanisms underlying species richness patterns remain a central yet controversial issue in biology. Climate has been regarded as a major determinant of species richness. However, the relative influences of different evolutionary processes, (i.e.

Phylotranscriptomic analysis of the origin and early diversification of land plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Reconstructing the origin and evolution of land plants and their algal relatives is a fundamental problem in plant phylogenetics, and is essential for understanding how critical adaptations arose, including the embryo, vascular tissue, seeds, and flowers.

The stepwise rise of angiosperm‐dominated terrestrial ecosystems

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2131-2149, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Angiosperms are the most diverse and abundant plant taxon today and dominate the majority of Earth's terrestrial ecosystems. They underwent rapid divergence and biogeographic expansion from the early to the middle Cretaceous. Yet, transformative ecosystem change brought about by the increased ecological dominance of angiosperms unfolded ...

From Algae to Angiosperms – Inferring the Phylogeny of Green Plants ( Viridiplantae ) from 360 Plastid Genomes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background Next-generation sequencing has provided a wealth of plastid genome sequence data from an increasingly diverse set of green plants (Viridiplantae).

Dissecting mitogenomic conflict to illuminate angiosperm deep phylogeny: Sequence and architectural evidence

open access: yesPlant Diversity
Deep relationships in the angiosperm tree of life remain highly controversial. To address this, we first assembled the complete mitochondrial genomes for Ceratophyllum demersum and Chloranthus sessilifolius, confirming a well-supported sister ...

Placing Nothophylica piloburmensis from Cretaceous amber into the angiosperm phylogeny

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 933-937, August 2025.
Abstract Recently, we redescribed an amber inclusion from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber of Myanmar, previously assigned to the extant genus Phylica in Rhamnaceae (core eudicots), and placed it in a new fossil‐genus, Nothophylica. Based on our reconstructions, we identified new floral features and instead suggested affinities within magnoliids, especially
