Abstract Fieldwork in the Early Cretaceous Jehol Group, northeastern China has revealed a
plethora of extraordinarily well-preserved fossils that are sha** some of the most …

Molecular data on relationships within angiosperms confirm the view that their increasing
morphological diversity through the Cretaceous reflected their evolutionary radiation …

A new classification and linear sequence of the gymnosperms based on previous molecular
and morphological phylogenetic and other studies is presented. Currently accepted genera …

The phylogenetic structure of ferns (= monilophytes) is explored here, with a special focus
on the early divergences among leptosporangiate lineages. Despite considerable progress …

Phylogenetic relationships among the four major lineages of land plants (liverworts, mosses,
hornworts, and vascular plants) remain vigorously contested; their resolution is essential to …

The evolutionary history of life includes two primary components: phylogeny and timescale.
Phylogeny refers to the branching order (relationships) of species or other taxa within a …

This fourth edition of Plant Systematics is completely revised and updated. It incorporates
the updated International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants (Shenzhen …

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 …

Phylogenetic definitions are provided for the names of 53 clades of vascular plants.
Emphasis has been placed on well‐supported clades that are widely known to non …

Land plants exhibit a significant evolutionary plasticity in their mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA),
which contrasts with the more conservative evolution of their chloroplast genomes. Frequent …
