The ABC model and its applicability to basal angiosperms
Background Although the flower is the central feature of the angiosperms, little is known of
its origin and subsequent diversification. The ABC model has long been the unifying …

The immense diversity of floral monosymmetry and asymmetry across angiosperms
PK Endress - The Botanical Review, 2012 - Springer
Floral monosymmetry and asymmetry are traced through the angiosperm orders and
families. Both are diverse and widespread in angiosperms. The systematic distribution of the …

Virus‐induced gene silencing for Asteraceae—a reverse genetics approach for functional genomics in Gerbera hybrida
Virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a natural defence mechanism in plants which leads
to sequence‐specific degradation of viral RNA. For identifying gene functions, Tobacco rattle …
