Evolutionary diversification of the flowers in angiosperms
PK Endress - American journal of botany, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Angiosperms and their flowers have greatly diversified into an overwhelming array of forms
in the past 135 million years. Diversification was shaped by changes in climate and the …

Disentangling confusions in inflorescence morphology: patterns and diversity of reproductive shoot ramification in angiosperms
PK Endress - Journal of systematics and Evolution, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Terminology of inflorescence diversity has often been used in a confusing way in the
literature, partly because it was based on uncritical and outdated definitions. In particular …

Development and evolution of extreme synorganization in angiosperm flowers and diversity: a comparison of Apocynaceae and Orchidaceae
PK Endress - Annals of Botany, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Abstract Background and Aims Apocynaceae and Orchidaceae are two angiosperm families

Integrating molecular phylogenetic and paleobotanical evidence on origin of the flower
JA Doyle - International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2008 - journals.uchicago.edu
Inferences on the origin of the angiosperm flower require consideration of other seed plants,
especially fossils. Molecular data favor a relationship of Gnetales to conifers rather than to …

Integrating Early Cretaceous fossils into the phylogeny of living angiosperms: Magnoliidae and eudicots
Over the past 25 years, discoveries of Early Cretaceous fossil flowers, often associated with
pollen and sometimes with vegetative parts, have revolutionized our understanding of the …
