A survey of 659 papers mostly published since 1987 was conducted to compile a checklist of
mycorrhizal occurrence among 3,617 species (263 families) of land plants. A plant …

The phylogeny and timescale of life are becoming better understood as the analysis of
genomic data from model organisms continues to grow. As a result, discoveries are being …

Establishing the timescale of early land plant evolution is essential for testing hypotheses on
the coevolution of land plants and Earth's System. The sparseness of early land plant …

The evolutionary emergence of land plant body plans transformed the planet. However, our
understanding of this formative episode is mired in the uncertainty associated with the …

Reconstructing the origin and evolution of land plants and their algal relatives is a
fundamental problem in plant phylogenetics, and is essential for understanding how critical …

Premise of the Study For the past one billion years, green plants (Viridiplantae) have
dominated global ecosystems, yet many key branches in their evolutionary history remain …

Background Next-generation sequencing has provided a wealth of plastid genome
sequence data from an increasingly diverse set of green plants (Viridiplantae). Although …

Nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) genes make up the largest plant
disease resistance gene family (R genes), with hundreds of copies occurring in individual …

Advances in the flavonoid field have been nothing short of spectacular over the last 20
years. While the medical field has noticed flavonoids for their potential antioxidant …

Background AP2/ERF transcription factors are important in a variety of biological activities,
including plant growth, development, and responses to biotic and abiotic stressors …
