Great moments in plant evolution. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2021 Just as dinosaurs can be regarded as protobirds (1) and synapsids as protomammals (2), understanding the evolution of plants depends on extinct fossil groups, such as those linking spore and seed plants. A profound paleobotanical surprise in 1904 was discovery of pteridosperms, commonly called seed ferns, because of their unexpected combination of ...

Plant evolution can mediate negative effects from honey bees on wild pollinators [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Pollinators are introduced to agroecosystems to provide pollination services. Introductions of managed pollinators often promote ecosystem services, but it remains largely unknown whether they also affect evolutionary mutualisms between wild pollinators ...

Plant Evolution: Assembling Land Plants [PDF]
Current Biology, 2020 Traditional evolutionary scenarios posit that land plants emerged from land plant-like relatives, the charophytes. New phylogenies suggest a closer affinity to simpler pond scum relatives, and evidence the gradual assembly of the land plant genome, revealing a phenotypic simplification from the complex ancestors envisaged by traditional scenarios.

An Overview of the Evolution of the Genus Astragalus (Fabaceae) in the Old World [PDF]
تاکسونومی و بیوسیستماتیک, 2022 In the present study, the trend of divergence and fragmentation of different sections of Astragalus in the Old World has been investigated. Based on previous studies, Astragalus species are divided into three groups: primitive, intermediate, and advanced.

Effects of plastic fragments on plant performance are mediated by soil properties and drought
Scientific Reports, 2022 In recent years, the effects of plastic contamination on soil and plants have received growing attention. Plastic can affect soil water content and thus may interact with the effects of drought on soil and plants.

Plant protein-coding gene families: Their origin and evolution
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Steady advances in genome sequencing methods have provided valuable insights into the evolutionary processes of several gene families in plants. At the core of plant biodiversity is an extensive genetic diversity with functional divergence and expansion ...

Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Response to High Light in the Charophyte Alga Klebsormidium nitens
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The characterization of the molecular mechanisms, such as high light irradiance resistance, that allowed plant terrestralization is a cornerstone in evolutionary studies since the conquest of land by plants played a pivotal role in life evolution on ...

Replicated Evolution in Plants
Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2023 Similar traits and functions commonly evolve in nature. Here, we explore patterns of replicated evolution across the plant kingdom and discuss the processes responsible for such patterns. We begin this review by defining replicated evolution and the theoretical, genetic, and ecological concepts that help explain it.
