Functional and morphological evolution in gymnosperms: A portrait of implicated gene families [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2020 Gymnosperms diverged from their sister plant clade of flowering plants 300 Mya. Morphological and functional divergence between the two major seed plant clades involved significant changes in their reproductive biology, water‐conducting systems ...

Phylogeny and divergence times of gymnosperms inferred from single-copy nuclear genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Phylogenetic reconstruction is fundamental to study evolutionary biology and historical biogeography. However, there was not a molecular phylogeny of gymnosperms represented by extensive sampling at the genus level, and most published phylogenies of this

Distribution and conservation of threatened gymnosperms in China
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 China is one of the diversity centers of gymnosperms. Nearly one-fifth (195 species) of gymnosperms are located in China, but 69 species are threatened. To date, the conservation status of gymnosperms, especially threatened gymnosperms in China, remains ...

Developmentally regulated genes drive phylogenomic splits in ovule evolution [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe evolution of seeds transformed life on earth and is responsible for our most important food crops. Gymnosperms, the oldest living seed plants, are an untapped genomic reservoir for genes involved in seed evolution.

The Karyological Rewiev of Gymnosperms on the Base of Database of the Chromosome Numbers [PDF]
Журнал Сибирского федерального университета: Серия Биология, 2008 A review on karyology of modern gymnosperms with the use of database «Chromosomе numbers of gymnosperms» is done. At present the database includes information on 1036 species, 85 genera, 15 families, 10 orders and 4 classes of gymnosperms. Information on

Evolutionary Analysis of MIKCc-Type MADS-Box Genes in Gymnosperms and Angiosperms
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 MIKCc-type MADS-box genes encode transcription factors that control floral organ morphogenesis and flowering time in flowering plants. Here, in order to determine when the subfamilies of MIKCc originated and their early evolutionary trajectory, we ...

Pollen Germination and Pollen Tube Growth in Gymnosperms
Plants, 2021 Pollen germination and pollen tube growth are common to all seed plants, but these processes first developed in gymnosperms and still serve for their successful sexual reproduction.
