Genes, enzymes and chemicals of terpenoid diversity in the constitutive and induced defence of conifers against insects and pathogens
Insects select their hosts, but trees cannot select which herbivores will feed upon them.
Thus, as long‐lived stationary organisms, conifers must resist the onslaught of varying and …

Evolution and biogeography of gymnosperms
XQ Wang, JH Ran - Molecular phylogenetics and evolution, 2014 - Elsevier
Living gymnosperms comprise only a little more than 1000 species, but represent four of the
five main lineages of seed plants, including cycads, ginkgos, gnetophytes and conifers. This …

Fossil Calibration of Molecular Divergence Infers a Moderate Mutation Rate and Recent Radiations for Pinus
Silent mutation rate estimates for Pinus vary 50-fold, ranging from angiosperm-like to among
the slowest reported for plants. These differences either reflect extraordinary genomic …
