Evolutionary dynamics of Orchid DL paralogs: gene duplication, functional divergence, and expression patterns across Orchid subfamilies [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Orchids are known for their extraordinarily diversified floral structures and evolutionary adaptations. The study of transcription factor genes, such as the YABBY gene DROOPING LEAF, is crucial for understanding the molecular mechanisms ...

Reassessing the temporal evolution of orchids with new fossils and a Bayesian relaxed clock, with implications for the diversification of the rare South American genus
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background The temporal origin and diversification of orchids (family Orchidaceae) has been subject to intense debate in the last decade. The description of the first reliable fossil in 2007 enabled a direct calibration of the orchid phylogeny, but ...

First Record of Ategmic Ovules in Orchidaceae Offers New Insights Into Mycoheterotrophic Plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 The number of integuments found in angiosperm ovules is variable. In orchids, most species show bitegmic ovules, except for some mycoheterotrophic species that show ovules with only one integument.
