Functional and morphological evolution in gymnosperms: A portrait of implicated gene families
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

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 ...

The Systematics and Evolution of Gymnosperms with an Emphasis on a Few Problematic Taxa
PlantsGymnosperms originated in the Middle Devonian and have experienced a long evolutionary history with pulses of speciation and extinction, which resulted in the four morphologically distinct extant groups, i.e., cycads, Ginkgo, conifers and gnetophytes ...

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.

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 ...

Isolation of an AGAMOUS homolog from Zamia muricata [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2020 AGAMOUS (AG) is a class C MADS-box gene that plays an important role in the development of reproductive organs in angiosperms and gymnosperms. Here, an AGAMOUS homolog was isolated from male and female Zamia muricata.
