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 [PDF]
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.

Dry Climate Filters Gymnosperms but Not Angiosperms through Seed Mass
Diversity, 2023 In the context of climate change in recent years, the fate of woody plant seed has an important impact on forest regeneration. Seed mass is an important reproductive strategy of plants. There are huge differences between gymnosperms (mainly conifers) and

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 ...

Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractDriven by limited resources and a sense of urgency, the prioritization of species for conservation has been a persistent concern in conservation science. Gymnosperms (comprising ginkgo, conifers, cycads, and gnetophytes) are one of the most threatened groups of living organisms, with 40% of the species at high risk of extinction, about twice as

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 ...

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 ...

Spatial Difference of Interactive Effect Between Temperature and Daylength on Ginkgo Budburst
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Climate warming-induced shifts in spring phenology have substantially affected the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems and global biogeochemical cycles.

BMC Plant Biology, 2023 Background The complex physical structure and abundant repeat sequences make it difficult to assemble the mitogenomes of seed plants, especially gymnosperms. Only approximately 33 mitogenomes of gymnosperms have been reported. However, as the most widely
