Towards a worldwide wood economics spectrum

TL;DR: It is suggested that, similar to the manifold that tree species leaf traits cluster around the 'leaf economics spectrum', a similar 'wood economics spectrum' may be defined.

Seed plant phylogeny and the origin of angiosperms: An experimental cladistic approach

TL;DR: The results raise the possibility that many features considered key adaptations in the origin and rise of angiosperms were actually inherited from their gymnospermous precursors, and the morphological diversity of Mesozoic anthophytes could provide critical tests of relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogeny of seed plants based on all three genomic compartments: Extant gymnosperms are monophyletic and Gnetales' closest relatives are conifers

TL;DR: The molecular phylogeny strongly conflicts with current interpretations of seed plant morphology, and implies that many similarities between gnetophytes and angiosperms were independently derived, whereas other characters could emerge as synapomorphies for an expanded conifer group including Gnetales.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenies and the analysis of evolutionary sequences, with examples from seed plants.

TL;DR: A cladistic test of the hypothesis that the evolution of dioecy is favored in animal‐dispersed plants indicates that dioECy may have originated somewhat more often in such lineages, which must largely account for the observed species‐level correlation between dispersal and breeding system.

Origin and development of primary vascular tissues in seed plants

TL;DR: Some of the basic concepts that have determined the writer’s approach in the present evaluation of terms, concepts and interpretations are indicated.

The cambium and its derivative tissues ii. size variations of cambial initials in gymnosperms and angiosperms

TL;DR: The necessity for extensive preliminary, comparative investigations in selecting material for intensive experimental research, and to serve as checks upon excessive generalization from limited induction, is well illustrated by the literature dealing with body size and cell size.

Specialization in Secondary Xylem of Dicotyledons. I. Origin of Vessel

TL;DR: The evidence would indicate that vessel segments with scalariform pitting on both the end and side walls are more primitive than vessel segments that are characterized by Scalariform lateral pitting, and this leads to the natural inference that the tracheid type from which the vessel was derived was also scalARiform.
