Journal ArticleDOI
Growth form evolution in piperales and its relevance for understanding angiosperm diversification: An integrative approach combining plant architecture, anatomy, and biomechanics
Sandrine Isnard,Juliana Prosperi,Stefan Wanke,Sarah T. Wagner,Marie-Stéphanie Samain,Santiago Trueba,Lena Frenzke,Christoph Neinhuis,Nick P. Rowe +8 more
TL;DR: This review investigates patterns of growth form diversification in Piperales, an early-diverging lineage and the most morphologically diverse clade among magnoliids, as well as the biomechanical significance of developmental characters, such the organization, loss, and gain of woodiness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrastructure, chemical composition, and recrystallization of epicuticular waxes : transversely ridged rodlets
TL;DR: It was shown that transversely ridged rodlets occur convergently within angiosperms based on a similar mode of crystallization but a different chemical composition, and the role of palmitone as a chemotaxonomic character of ancestral angios perms is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and biomechanics of trapping flower trichomes and their role in the pollination biology of Aristolochia plants (Aristolochiaceae)
TL;DR: The results of the experiments support a hypothesis long proposed, but never tested, regarding the trapping mechanism in proterogynous Aristolochia flowers: that an array of highly specialized trichomes arranged eccentrically to the underlying surface is responsible for the easy entrance of insects into flowers but impedes their escape.
Journal ArticleDOI
The multi-layered protective cuticle of Collembola: a chemical analysis
TL;DR: It was found that the non-wetting characteristics base on a rather typical arthropod cuticle surface chemistry which confirms the decisive role of the cuticle topography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methanol as a rapid fixative for the investigation of plant surfaces by SEM
TL;DR: A rapid fixation/dehydration method of plant specimens for scanning electron microscopy that instantly fixes the elastically extended cell walls before critical‐point drying, resulting in an improved preservation of cell dimensions comparable to in vivo conditions.
