Angiosperms (flowering plants) are the most diverse of all major lineages of land plants and the dominant autotrophs in most terrestrial ecosystems. Their evolutionary and ecological appearance is ...

An estimated 362,000 species of angiosperms inhabit Earth, making up about 90 percent of our plant life. What is left is likely a gymnosperm which has a naked seed and is often a soft wood, such ...

The distribution of tapetal types in basal angiosperms is reviewed both from the literature and new observations in the context of recent phylogenetic analyses. Secretory tapeta predominate among land ...

Leaf economic traits from fossils support a weedy habit for early angiosperms. American Journal of Botany, 2010; 97 (3): 438 DOI: 10.3732/ajb.0900290 ...

Then, about 125 million years ago, angiosperms and their flowers sprang forth during the Cretaceous period, as fully formed as Aphrodite. Within 30 million years, angiosperms would dominate the Earth.

The secret to angiosperms’ success, they say, is a rapid downsizing of the plants’ cells beginning about 140 million years ago. This downsizing dramatically increased their efficiency.

Preserved embryos illustrate seed dormancy in early angiosperms Study illustrates key differences from modern flowering plants Date: December 16, 2015 Source: Yale School of Forestry ...

Flowering plants (angiosperms) are the largest, most diversified, and most successful major lineage of green plants, with ~330,000 known species.

Results of the study, titled "Dosage Sensitivity Shapes Balanced Expression and Gene Longevity of Homoeologs after Whole-Genome Duplications in Angiosperms," were published in The Plant Cell.
