The Role of Plant Evolutionary History in Shaping the Variation in Specific Leaf Area Across China [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSpecific leaf area (SLA, leaf area per unit leaf dry mass) occupies a central position in both community assembly and ecosystem functioning. Although SLA has significant phylogenetic signals, how and to what extent the evolutionary history influences the

Spatiotemporal Distribution Patterns and Conservation Priorities of Gymnosperms With Different Leaf Shapes in China Under Climate Change [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionLeaf morphology is one of the important indicators for studying the response of plants to climate change. Gymnosperms play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem stability in China. However, the geographical and altitudinal distribution

The age-related expression patterns of Larix kaempferi AP2 subfamily genes and functional dissection of LkTOE1-2 in seed formation and germination [PDF]
Forestry ResearchConifers pose challenges for breeding programs due to their extended vegetative phases. Despite the critical role of APETALA2 (AP2) in regulating phase transitions, the AP2/ERF superfamily remains largely unexplored in gymnosperms. Here, the first genome-

Evolution of complex genome architecture in gymnosperms
GigaScience, 2022 Gymnosperms represent an ancient lineage that diverged from early spermatophytes during the Devonian. The long fossil records and low diversity in living species prove their complex evolutionary history, which included ancient radiations and massive ...

Evolution of mitochondrial RNA editing in extant gymnosperms
The Plant Journal, 2022 SUMMARY To unveil the evolution of mitochondrial RNA editing in gymnosperms, we characterized mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes), plastid genomes, RNA editing sites, and pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins from 10 key taxa representing four of the ...

Critical reviews in plant sciences, 2021 Fleshy structures associated with the ovule/seed arose independently several times during gymnosperm evolution. Fleshy structures are linked to ovule/seed protection and dispersal, and are present in all the four lineages of extant gymnosperms.
