Gynoecium structure and development in core Caryophyllales: a matter of proportions

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Subtle shifts in proportional growth lead to a high diversification of ovaries in core Caryophyllales and the establishment of predictable developmental trends, which clearly represent apomorphic tendencies.

Revised circumscriptions and subgeneric taxonomies of Calandrinia and Montiopsis (Portulacaceae) with notes on phylogeny of the portulacaceous alliance

Hershkovitz
TL;DR: Cladistic analysis of Portulacaceae supports a revised taxonomy of Calandrinia sensu lato and suggests that Cal andrinia and Monocosmia are probably cladistically nested in section Acaules and are not sister groups of either Rumicastrum or Montia, as proposed in a previous cladistic analysis.

Floral and inflorescence morphology and ontogeny in Beta vulgaris, with special emphasis on the ovary position

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented original ontogenetic observations in Beta vulgaris, which was chosen as a reference species for further comparative investigation because of its unclarified phylogenetic position and its flowers with a (semi-)inferior ovary, whereas all other Chenopodiaceae-Amaranthaceae have hypogynous flowers.

Evolution and Development of Staminodes in Paronychia (Caryophyllaceae)

TL;DR: The results illustrate a dynamic history of staminodial evolution in Paronychia and that selection on the function ofStaminodes can differ across closely related species.

The Evolution of Placentation in Flowering Plants: A Possible Role for Kin Selection

TL;DR: The results on ovule number and placentation types indicate that most angiosperms may fall into two categories: one with one or few ovule(s) and basalPlacentation, and another with many ovules and parietal and axile placentated, while axile is the most advanced.

Deep homology and the origins of evolutionary novelty

TL;DR: Advances in developmental genetics, palaeontology and evolutionary developmental biology have recently shed light on the origins of some of the structures that most intrigued Charles Darwin, including animal eyes, tetrapod limbs and giant beetle horns.

Molecular phylogenetics of Caryophyllales based on nuclear 18S rDNA and plastid rbcL, atpB, and matK DNA sequences

TL;DR: Two additional lineages are potentially appropriate to be elevated to the family level in the future: the genera Lophiocarpus and Corbichonia form a well-supported clade on the basis of molecular and chemical evidence, and Limeum appears to be separated from other Molluginaceae based on both molecular and ultrastructural data.
