Austrobaileya has long served as a model for ancient angiosperm pollen structure. Its pollen germination is relatively rapid and requires < 10 % of the progamic phase. Extensive evidence discussed in this paper suggests pollen germination underwent acceleration early in angiosperm history.
Although plant distribution patterns are well documented, our understanding of the ecophysiological mechanisms that control the geographical ranges of plant species remains poor. Using a largely ignored method, the...
How, in molecular terms, does the vital interaction between pollen pollen and pistil work?
The three earliest extant lineages of flowering plants are represented by only some 16 genera. Despite low species’ diversity, these genera are highly diverse in their morphology, so inferring ancestral features in...
