TLDR
Recent cladistic analyses are revealing the phylogeny of flowering plants in increasing detail, and there is support for the monophyly of many major groups above the family level.Abstract:
Recent cladistic analyses are revealing the phylogeny of flowering plants in increasing detail, and there is support for the monophyly of many major groups above the family level. With many elements of the major branching sequence of phylogeny establishedread more

An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG II
TL;DR: A revised and updated classification for the families of the flowering plants is provided in this paper, which includes Austrobaileyales, Canellales, Gunnerales, Crossosomatales and Celastrales.

A classification system for seed dormancy
Jerry M. Baskin,Carol C. Baskin +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a modified version of the scheme of the Russian seed physiologist Marianna G. Nikolaeva be adopted and includes three hierarchical layers – class, level and type; thus, a class may contain levels and types, and a level may contain only types.

Exploring the Phylogenetic Structure of Ecological Communities: An Example for Rain Forest Trees
TL;DR: It is tentatively infer that variation in habitat among plots causes ecologically more similar species to co‐occur within plots, and a range of applications for phylogenetic relatedness measures in community analysis are suggested.

Coevolution of roots and mycorrhizas of land plants
TL;DR: It is hypothesised that roots gradually evolved from rhizomes to provide more suitable habitats for mycorrhizal fungi and provide plants with complex branching and leaves with water and nutrients.
