Trithuria is the sole genus of Hydatellaceae, a family of the early-divergent angiosperm lineage Nymphaeales. In order to help determine the early evolution of angiosperm cell-wall structures, Costa et al. use...
Early-diverging angiosperms are important for studies of the origin and early evolution of the flower. Vialette-Guiraud et al. discuss the potential of the water lily Cabomba (Nymphaeales) as a model basal angiosperm...
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...
