1. Sep 14,  · The evolution of flowers is among the foremost topics in evolutionary science. There is a long-held hypothesis in botany that a flower is a telescoped shoot. It has been cherished by many.

2. Aug 08,  · The flower is one of the key innovations of evolution, responsible for a massive burst of evolution that has resulted in perhaps as many as , angiosperm species. Before flowering plants emerged, the seed-bearing plant world was dominated by gymnosperms, which have cone-like structures instead of flowers and include pine trees, sago palms.

3. Evolution Of Flowers The flower originated as a structure adapted to protect ovules, which are borne naked and unprotected in the Gymnosperms, ancestors of the Angiosperms. Botanists are uncertain about which group of Gymnosperms is most closely related to the Angiosperms.

4. May 23,  · To the researchers, that’s evidence that flower of Persea is “a genetic fossil.” Evolution-believing scientists believe angiosperms developed from gymnosperms (mostly coniferous plants), with the uniqueness and complexity of the unique flower parts increasing over time.

5. Mar 31,  · The origin of the flower was a key innovation in the history of complex organisms, dramatically altering Earth’s biota. Advances in phylogenetics, developmental genetics, and genomics during the past 25 years have substantially advanced our understanding of the evolution of flowers, yet crucial aspects of floral evolution remain, such as the series of genetic and morphological changes Cited by:

6. Sep 04,  · Plant Metabolites. Understanding the origin and evolution of plant metabolites is fundamental to explaining the distribution of natural products among plant families. These metabolites are produced by plants as a response to abiotic and biotic stress, and also mediate inter- and intra-species communication.

8. With respect to flower symmetry development and evolution, the products of molecular phylogenetic studies allow researchers to determine how often and in which lineages transition from radial flower symmetry to bilateral symmetry (and back to radial flower symmetry) have occurred [16,31,33–37], thus providing the framework for informed choice.
