Abstract: PREMISE OF THE STUDY Large phylogenies can help shed light on macroevolutionary patterns that inform our understanding of fundamental processes that shape the tree of life. These phylogenies also serve as tools that facilitate other… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1853
Abstract: Abstract Premise Anatomically preserved evidence for a novel clade of gymnosperms emphasizes diversity of seed plants immediately prior to the appearance of angiosperm fossils in the paleontological record. Methods Cupulate seeds from the Early Cretaceous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nsr/nwaa105
Abstract: Abstract To evaluate the phylogenetic patterns of the distribution and evolution of plant secondary metabolites (PSMs), we selected 8 classes of PSMs and mapped them onto an updated phylogenetic tree including 437 families of seed… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2019.00039
Abstract: Gnetum is a genus in the Gnetales that has a unique but ambiguous placement within seed plant phylogeny. Previous studies have shown that Gnetum has lower values of photosynthetic characters than those of other seed… read more here.
