Here we present results of a phylogenetic study of land plant exocyst subunits encoded by a selection of completely sequenced genomes representing a variety of plant, mostly angiosperm, lineages.

according to a report in the journal Science by researchers who took a fresh look at spore-like microfossils with characteristics that challenge our conventional understanding about the evolution of ...

Reproductive organs play the central role in the evolution of land plants, especially flowers in angiosperms. Their evolution has left its footprints in the morphology and anatomy of fossil and extant ...

The initial radiation of vascular land plants, evidenced by increases in both diversity and morphological disparity during ...

In this issue, we present a collection of articles that explore how the evolution of terrestrial plants and the Earth's surface have affected each other. Reports from the Kepler mission have ...

the first woody plants appeared, and the water's edge was becoming a new kind of environment. The move to land was a very gradual process, and the evolution of limbs wasn't a simple adaptation ...

which in turn allowed for the evolution of land plants. ESS2.D: Weather and Climate. Gradual atmospheric changes were due to plants and other organisms that captured carbon dioxide and released oxygen ...

In a paper published in SCIENCE CHINA Earth Sciences, the formation and evolution of the biota in Hainan Island were revealed via research on their genomes, phylogeny, and molecular biogeography. It ...
