Runcaria, a Middle Devonian Seed Plant Precursor
TL;DR: Runcaria is a small, radially symmetrical, integumented megasporangium surrounded by a cupule that sheds new light on the sequence of character acquisition leading to the seed.
Supporting Online Material for A Simple Type of Wood in Two Early Devonian Plants
Philippe Gerrienne,Patricia G. Gensel,Christine Strullu-Derrien,Hubert Lardeux,Philippe Steemans,Cyrille Prestianni +5 more
TL;DR: The small size of the plants and the presence of thick-walled cortical cells confirm that wood early evolution was driven by hydraulic constraints rather than by the necessity of mechanical support for increasing height.

A Simple Type of Wood in Two Early Devonian Plants
Philippe Gerrienne,Patricia G. Gensel,Christine Strullu-Derrien,Hubert Lardeux,Philippe Steemans,Cyrille Prestianni +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe two small Early Devonian (407 to 397 million years ago) plants with secondary xylem including simple rays and conclude that wood early evolution was driven by hydraulic constraints rather than by the necessity of mechanical support for increasing height.
