Morpho-anatomical affinities of three paleoendemic podocarp genera

Despite the probable extinction of closely related sister species and genera, and the evolution of morphological structures as adaptations to changing environmental conditions, they still share basic reproductive traits with other podocarps.

Floral development and vasculature of Eriocaulon (Eriocaulaceae)

Arthur de Lima Silva and colleagues present a hypothesis of floral evolution for the family, illustrating a shift from bisexuality to unisexuality and the evolution of nectaries in a complex monocot family, which can contribute to future studies on reproductive biology and floral evolution in other groups.

Most Australian shrubs have “sleepy seeds” and seed dormancy types might be driven by rainfall seasonality

Have you ever found it tricky to get some seeds to germinate? You might have wondered if it was the water, or the temperature, or the soil, or perhaps the seeds themselves that are the problem?
