The legacy of terrestrial plant evolution on cell wall fine structure

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 1238-1254, April 2024.
Abstract The evolution of land flora was an epochal event in the history of planet Earth. The success of plants, and especially flowering plants, in colonizing all but the most hostile environments required multiple mechanisms of adaptation. The mainly polysaccharide‐based cell walls of flowering plants, which are indispensable for water transport and ...

Nuclear phylogenomics of angiosperms and insights into their relationships and evolution

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 546-578, March 2024.
This review synthesizes numerous nuclear phylogenomic analyses of angiosperms (analyses that resolved the relationships of major clades, most orders, and many families and subgroups) and discusses the improved understanding of angiosperm biogeography, diversification dynamics, and character evolution.

Angiosperm‐wide analysis of fruit and ovary evolution aided by a new nuclear phylogeny supports association of the same ovary type with both dry and fleshy fruits

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 66, Issue 2, Page 228-251, February 2024.
Phylogenetic analysis and molecular dating elucidate relationships for orders and families, trace crown angiosperms’ Triassic origin, unveil parallel carpel fusions in early eudicots, monocots, and magnoliids and associate specific fruit types sharing the same ovary type.

Angiosperm flowers reached their highest morphological diversity early in their evolutionary history

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 241, Issue 3, Page 1348-1360, February 2024.
Summary Flowers are the complex and highly diverse reproductive structures of angiosperms. Because of their role in sexual reproduction, the evolution of flowers is tightly linked to angiosperm speciation and diversification. Accordingly, the quantification of floral morphological diversity (disparity) among angiosperm subgroups and through time may ...

The “temporal specialization hypothesis” (TSH) postulates increasing specialization during the evolution of parasitism in plants. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Relationship of stem age, species number, host range, trophic type and host attachment site of the parasitic lineages is shown. The estimated age of each parasite lineage is plotted relative to lineage size (the species numbers are taken from the review ...
