There can be no doubt that early land plant evolution transformed the planet but, until
recently, how and when this was achieved was unclear. Coincidence in the first appearance …

Mounting evidence from genomic and transcriptomic studies suggests that most genetic
networks regulating the morphogenesis of land plant sporophytes were co-opted and …

Recent advances in plant developmental genetics together with rapid accumulation of
transcriptomic data on plants from divergent lineages provide an exciting opportunity to …

Abstract Background The LEAFY (LFY) transcription factors are present in algae and across
land plants. The available expression and functional data of these genes in embryophytes …

Plants and animals are both important for studies in evolutionary developmental biology
(EvoDevo). Plant morphology as a valuable discipline of EvoDevo is set for a paradigm shift …

Plant stems comprise nodes and internodes that specialize in solute exchange and
elongation. However, their boundaries are not well defined, and how these basic units arise …

KNOX genes encode transcription factors (TFs), several of which act non-cell-autonomously.
KNOX genes evolved in algae, and two classes, class I KNOX and class II KNOX genes …

A long-term fern demography study that included measurements of plant traits of three
species in the dimorphic genus Danaea (1991-2009) was conducted in a rainforest in …

As we learn more about how the brain functions, the study of the brain changes what we
know about human creativity and innovation and our ability to enhance the brain with …
