Mass extinction, gradual cooling, or rapid radiation? Reconstructing the spatiotemporal evolution of the ancient Angiosperm genus Hedyosmum (Chloranthaceae) Using empirical and simulated approaches [PDF]
, 2011 Chloranthaceae is a small family of flowering plants (65 species) with an extensive fossil record extending back to the Early Cretaceous. Within Chloranthaceae, Hedyosmum is remarkable because of its disjunct distribution – one species in the ...

The developmental basis of floral nectary diversity and evolution
New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 6, Page 2462-2477, June 2025.Summary Nectar is a central bridge between angiosperms and animal mutualists. It is produced by specialized structures termed nectaries, which can be found on different plant organs. Consumption of floral nectar by pollinators and the subsequent transfer of pollen contribute to the reproductive success of both angiosperms and their pollinators.

The Immense Diversity of Floral Monosymmetry and Asymmetry Across Angiosperms [PDF]
, 2018 Floral monosymmetry and asymmetry are traced through the angiosperm orders and families. Both are diverse and widespread in angiosperms. The systematic distribution of the different forms of monosymmetry and asymmetry indicates that both evolved numerous

Phylogenetics of Chloridoideae (Gramineae): a Preliminary Study Based on Nuclear Ribosomal Internal Transcribed Spacer and Chloroplast trnL–F Sequences [PDF]
, 2007 The phylogeny of Chloridoideae (Gramineae) was inferred from parsimony analyses of DNA sequences from two genomes—the chloroplast trnL intron, trnL 3\u27 exon, and trnL–F intergenic spacer, and the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region ...

The Effect of 3000 K LED Lamps on the Photosynthesis and Morphology of Deciduous Tree Species
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2025.ABSTRACT The effect of artificial light at night (ALAN) on plants is a less explored area within light pollution research. This is especially true for the physiological parameters of photosynthesis of woody plants. The physiological and morphological values of nineteen deciduous urban tree species illuminated by street lamps with a color temperature of

Geography and ecology shape the phylogenetic composition of Amazonian tree communities
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 7, Page 1163-1184, July 2024.Abstract Aim Amazonia hosts more tree species from numerous evolutionary lineages, both young and ancient, than any other biogeographic region. Previous studies have shown that tree lineages colonized multiple edaphic environments and dispersed widely across Amazonia, leading to a hypothesis, which we test, that lineages should not be strongly ...

Nuclear phylogenomics of angiosperms and insights into their relationships and evolution
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 546-578, March 2024.This review synthesizes numerous nuclear phylogenomic analyses of angiosperms (analyses that resolved the relationships of major clades, most orders, and many families and subgroups) and discusses the improved understanding of angiosperm biogeography, diversification dynamics, and character evolution.

Organisms Diversity & Evolution, 2005 AbstractSpecies of Valerianaceae are a common component of the alpine flora throughout the Northern Hemisphere as well as the Andes of South America. Sequence data from three chloroplast markers (psbA-trnH intron, trnK-matK intron, and the trnL-F region) along with the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA were used to infer
