Does investigating the seed coat in Gnetum gnemon reveal how fruiting plants evolved?

Gnetales are a puzzle. They look like the closest relatives to angiosperms, the fruiting plants. But when you examine their genes, they appear to be distant. An investigation into the development of their seed coats might explain some of the mystery.
