The stepwise rise of angiosperm‐dominated terrestrial ecosystems
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 ...

Germination Patterns in Dicotyledons [PDF]
Seedlings of about 3500 species of dicotyledons were classified as exhibiting either phanerocotylar or cryptocotylar germination. The percentages of cryptocotylar species in the orders as circumscribed by Dahlgren (J. Linn. Soc., Bot.

Placing Nothophylica piloburmensis from Cretaceous amber into the angiosperm phylogeny
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

PLANiTS: a curated sequence reference dataset for plant ITS DNA metabarcoding [PDF]
DNA metabarcoding combines DNA barcoding with high-throughput sequencing to identify different taxa within environmental communities. The ITS has already been proposed and widely used as universal barcode marker for plants, but a comprehensive, updated ...

The legacy of terrestrial plant evolution on cell wall fine structure
Abstract The evolution of land flora was an epochal event in the history of planet Earth. The success of plants, and especially flowering plants, in colonizing all but the most hostile environments required multiple mechanisms of adaptation. The mainly polysaccharide‐based cell walls of flowering plants, which are indispensable for water transport and ...

A comparative analysis of plastome evolution in autotrophic Piperales
Abstract Premise Many plastomes of autotrophic Piperales have been reported to date, describing a variety of differences. Most studies focused only on a few species or a single genus, and extensive, comparative analyses have not been done. Here, we reviewed publicly available plastome reconstructions for autotrophic Piperales, reanalyzed publicly ...
