Journal ArticleDOI

Single-copy nuclear genes place haustorial Hydnoraceae within piperales and reveal a cretaceous origin of multiple parasitic angiosperm lineages.

TL;DR: The “temporal specialization hypothesis” (TSH) is proposed, implementing multiple independent specialization processes over time during parasitic angiosperm evolution to show the utility of nSCG for reconstructing phylogenetic relationships in parasitic lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Growth form evolution in piperales and its relevance for understanding angiosperm diversification: An integrative approach combining plant architecture, anatomy, and biomechanics

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

Evolution of Epiphytism and Fruit Traits Act Unevenly on the Diversification of the Species-Rich Genus Peperomia (Piperaceae).

TL;DR: The success of Peperomia is likely the result of enhanced vertical and horizontal dispersal ability and life form flexibility but not the evolution of epiphytism itself, and evolutionary flexibility of life forms is uncovered to coincide with the diversification shift.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stem biomechanics of the giant moss Dendroligotrichum dendroides s.l. and its significance for growth form diversity in mosses

TL;DR: Biomechanical tests indicate that the stems can develop a high degree of stiffness (Young’s modulus) via a dense hypodermal sterome that is comparable with that of woody stems of vascular plants.
