Angiosperms are the most successful plants and support human livelihood and ecosystems.
Angiosperm phylogeny is the foundation of studies of gene function and phenotypic …

Plants have utterly transformed the planet, but testing hypotheses of causality requires a
reliable time‐scale for plant evolution. While clock methods have been extensively …

Abundant fossils of a single conifer species occur in a Pennsylvanian-age deposit of eastern
North America, providing the opportunity to describe a biological taxon of primitive conifers …

We evaluate the influences of elevation and climate on the spatio-temporal distribution of
wetland and dryland biomes during the Pennsylvanian and early Permian in tropical …

The combined processes of gene duplication, nucleotide substitution, domain duplication,
and intron/exon shuffling can generate a complex set of related genes that may differ …

B‐function MADS‐box genes play crucial roles in floral development in model angiosperms.
We reconstructed the structural and functional implications of B‐function gene phylogeny in …

During the Carboniferous gymnosperms became highly diverse. However, several groups
became diminished toward the end of the Carboniferous and Permian, and were extinct by …
