Using genomic data from more than 9500 species, biologists have mapped the evolutionary relationships between flowering ...

According to a research team led by palaeontologists, the net-like leaf veining typical for today's flowering plants developed much earlier than previously thought, but died out again several times.

To see what the first primitive angiosperm might have looked like, I flew to England and there met paleobotanist Chris Hill, formerly with London's Natural History Museum. Hill drove me through ...

As noted, the Angiosperm Terrestrial Revolution was partly driven by a unique net in angiosperm leaves, allowing angiosperm to fix carbon dioxide effectively. As Coiro explained the fossil leaf ...

Flowers play an essential role in maintaining a species' genetic stability. Understanding how flowers regulate water use strategies to adapt to their environment is crucial for better understanding ...

"The Enigma of Angiosperm Origins contains much of value and should be read by all those interested in angiosperm evolution. It is a thought provoking and controversial book in that it challenges ...

It was heralded as the earliest known angiosperm, or flowering plant, and it is now thought to be roughly 125 million years old. In the following video clips, fossil images, and drawings ...

It is called Florigerminis jurassica and was found in China. But not all scientists agree it is an angiosperm, due to the different definitions of flower organs. Flowers can be preserved in ...

The timing of flowers’ evolution is still a matter of debate between scientists, but most scientists are in one of two camps: ...

Flowering plants - from corn, wheat, rice and potatoes to maple, oak, apple and cherry trees as well as roses, tulips, ...

This Angiosperm Terrestrial Revolution was in part driven by a unique innovation in angiosperm leaves: these present a netted hierarchical venation, which allows angiosperm to fix carbon dioxide ...
