Ecophysiological traits of grasses: resolving the effects of photosynthetic pathway and phylogeny [PDF]

, 2009
C4 photosynthesis is an important example of convergent evolution in plants, having arisen in eudicots, monocots and diatoms. Comparisons between such diverse groups are confounded by phylogenetic and ecological differences, so that only broad ...

Evolutionary analyses and expression patterns of TCP genes in Ranunculales

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
TCP transcription factors play a role in a large number of developmental processes and are at the crossroads of numerous hormonal biosynthetic and signaling pathways.

Global distribution, climatic preferences and photosynthesis‐related traits of C4 eudicots and how they differ from those of C4 grasses

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
C₄ is one of three known photosynthetic processes of carbon fixation in flowering plants. It evolved independently more than 61 times in multiple angiosperm lineages and consists of a series of anatomical and biochemical modifications to the ancestral C3

Evolution of the Petal and Stamen Developmental Programs: Evidence from Comparative Studies of the Basal Angiosperms [PDF]

, 2000
Our recently acquired understanding of the ABC program, which controls floral organ identity in model plant species such as Arabidopsis thaliana and Antirrhinum majus, has provided a new set of characters with which to evaluate floral evolution.

Evolution of fruit development genes in flowering plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
The genetic mechanisms regulating dry fruit development and opercular dehiscence have been identified in Arabidopsis thaliana. In the bicarpellate silique, valve elongation and differentiation is controlled by FRUITFULL (FUL) that antagonizes ...

Does Molecular and Structural Evolution Shape the Speedy Grass Stomata?

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
It has been increasingly important for breeding programs to be aimed at crops that are capable of coping with a changing climate, especially with regards to higher frequency and intensity of drought events.

Bees diversified in the age of eudicots [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2013
Reliable estimates on the ages of the major bee clades are needed to further understand the evolutionary history of bees and their close association with flowering plants. Divergence times have been estimated for a few groups of bees, but no study has yet provided estimates for all major bee lineages.

Nuclear Phylogenomics of Angiosperms and Evolutionary Implications

Diversity
Angiosperms are the largest group of land plants with ~375,000 species, which are classified into ~416 families and ~13,000 genera; they exhibit tremendous morphological and physiological diversities and are important members of diverse terrestrial and ...

Plastome of the mycoheterotrophic eudicot Exacum paucisquama (Gentianaceae) exhibits extensive gene loss and a highly expanded inverted repeat region [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Mycoheterotrophic plants are highly specialized species able to acquire organic carbon from symbiotic fungi, with relaxed dependence on photosynthesis for carbon fixation.

Complete plastome sequencing of both living species of Circaeasteraceae (Ranunculales) reveals unusual rearrangements and the loss of the ndh gene family

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background Among the 13 families of early-diverging eudicots, only Circaeasteraceae (Ranunculales), which consists of the two monotypic genera Circaeaster and Kingdonia, lacks a published complete plastome sequence. In addition, the phylogenetic position
