Insights into the ancestral flowers of Ranunculales [PDF]
Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2020 AbstractThe question of the origin of petals has long been debated in the botanical literature. Ranunculales are characterized by a spectacular floral diversity, particularly at the perianth level. Recent progress in understanding the genetic bases of floral organ identity suggests a single origin for petals in Ranunculaceae, contrasting with the ...

Paleopolyploidies and Genomic Fractionation in Major Eudicot Clades
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Eudicots account for ~75% of living angiosperms, containing important food and energy crops. Recently, high-quality genome sequences of several eudicots including Aquilegia coerulea and Nelumbo nucifera have become available, providing an opportunity to ...

One Size Fits All? Molecular Evidence for a Commonly Inherited Petal Identity Program in Ranunculales [PDF]
, 2012 Petaloid organs are a major component of the floral diversity observed across nearly all major clades of angiosperms. The variable morphology and development of these organs has led to the hypothesis that they are not homologous but, rather, have evolved

Phylogeography of a Tertiary relict plant, Meconopsis cambrica (Papaveraceae), implies the existence of northern refugia for a temperate herb [PDF]
, 2011 The perennial herb Meconopsis cambrica, a western European endemic, is the only European species of the otherwise Himalayan genus Meconopsis and has been interpreted as a Tertiary relict species.

Specific duplication and dorsoventrally asymmetric expression patterns of Cycloidea-like genes in zygomorphic species of Ranunculaceae. [PDF]
, 2014 Floral bilateral symmetry (zygomorphy) has evolved several times independently in angiosperms from radially symmetrical (actinomorphic) ancestral states. Homologs of the Antirrhinum majus Cycloidea gene (Cyc) have been shown to control floral symmetry in

A Global Analysis of Alternative Splicing of Dichocarpum Medicinal Plants, Ranunculales
Current Genomics, 2022 Background: The multiple isoforms are often generated from a single gene via alternative splicing (AS) in plants, and the functional diversity of plant genome is significantly increased. Despite well studied gene functions, the specific functions of isoforms are little known, therefore the accurate prediction of isoform functions is exceedingly wanted.
