Whole-genome duplication (WGD, or polyploidy) is a common and frequent occurrence in plants, providing raw genetic material for evolution. Homoeologs (duplicate genes from a WGD) often diverge in ...

Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, represent the most diverse group of seed plants, and their origin and evolution have long been a central question in plant evolutionary biology.

Double fertilization is a reproductive mode unique to angiosperms, a phenomenon in which two sperm cells transported by the ...

Newswise — Researchers at the University of Bristol have identified the huge impact of flowering plants on the evolution of life on Earth. Flowering plants today include most of the plants humans eat ...

Flowers may look delicate – but flowering plants, what scientists call angiosperms, are one of the most successful evolutionary organisms on the planet. Including more than 350,000 known species, they ...

A research group led by Prof. JIAO Yuannian from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently reported a high-quality genome sequence of Aristolochia fimbriata, providing new ...
