The complex zygomorphic flowers of the early-diverging eudicot Delphinium provide an
opportunity to explore intriguing evolutionary, developmental, and genetic questions. The …

CYCLOIDEA (CYC)-like genes belong to the TCP transcription factor family and play
important roles associated with flower development. The CYC-like genes in the CYC1 …

Species of the tribe Delphinieae (Ranunculaceae) have long been the focus of
morphological, ecological, and evolutionary studies due to their highly specialized, nearly …

The Ranunculales are a hyperdiverse lineage in many aspects of their phenotype, including
growth habit, floral and leaf morphology, reproductive mode, and specialized metabolism …

During the process of flower opening, most petals move downward in the direction of the
pedicel (ie, epinastic movement). In most Delphinium flowers, however, their two lateral …

Floral spurs, widely recognized as a classic example of key morphological and functional
innovation and thought to have promoted the origin and adaptive evolution of many …

Due to a scarcity of relevant data, the ornamental woody flower Rhododendron delavayi
Franch. is examined in the current study for its low temperature-induced floral bud dormancy …

Abstract The genus Delphinium (Ranunculaceae) with its unique and highly complex floral
structure is an ideal system to address some key questions in terms of morphological and …

Famously referred to as “Darwin's abominable mystery,” the rapid diversification of
angiosperms over the last~ 140 million years presents a fascinating enigma. This …

Delphinieae (Ranunculaceae) are characterized by zygomorphic spiral flowers and show a
remarkable diversity of perianth organization. Floral structure and development have been …
