Developmental stochasticity and variation in floral phyllotaxis
Floral phyllotaxis is a relatively robust phenotype; trimerous and pentamerous arrangements are widely observed in monocots and core eudicots....

Symmetry and its transition in phyllotaxis
Symmetry is an important component of geometric beauty and regularity in both natural and cultural scenes. Plants also display various geometric...
-
Phyllotaxis: from classical knowledge to molecular genetics
Plant organs are repetitively generated at the shoot apical meristem (SAM) in recognizable patterns. This phenomenon, known as phyllotaxis, has long...

The interaction between heterochrony and mechanical forces as main driver of floral evolution
Heterochrony acts as a fundamental process affecting the early development of organisms in creating a subtle shift in the timing of initiation or the...

Comparative floral development in Mimosa (Fabaceae: Caesalpinioideae) brings new insights into merism lability in the mimosoid clade
The genus Mimosa L. (Leguminosae; Caesalpinioideae; mimosoid clade), comprising more than 500 species, is an intriguing genus because, like other...

A Comparative Approach to Floral Ontogeny in Melastomataceae
The floral diversity of Melastomataceae is stunning and clearly expressed in sepal and stamen structure and in the position of the ovary. Comparative...

Genes Involved in the Transition and Floral Sexual Differentiation of Jatropha curcas L
Flowering is the change from the vegetative state to the reproductive state. Flowering initiation is regulated by endogenous genetic components and...

Verbena officinalis Verbenaceae (Lamiales): a new plant model system for phyllotaxis research
Phyllotactic diversity and developmental transitions between phyllotactic patterns are not fully understood. The plants studied so far, such as Magnoli...

Plant Diversification Through the Devonian in Brazil
Although the plant fossils from the Devonian of Brazil have been known for more than one century, we were able to scratch only a small part of this...

Flower Development in Arabidopsis
Like in other angiosperms, the development of flowers in Arabidopsis starts right after the floral transition, when the shoot apical meristem (SAM)...

Molecular mechanisms regulating ornamental traits and scent production in snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus L.)
Snapdragon ( Antirrhinum majus L.) is a widely cultivated and economically important cut flower and bedding plant worldwide due to its high ornamental...

One Upward, Two Steps Down: Order of Floral Organ Initiation
AbstractIn most angiosperms, floral organs are acropetally initiated, i.e., from the perianth upwards to the gynoecium. The review surveys examples...

The ABC of Flower Development in Monocots: The Model of Rice Spikelet
The initial seminal studies of flower developmental genetics were made from observations in several eudicot model species, particularly Arabidopsis...

Floral Symmetry – What It Is, How It Forms, and Why It Varies
Flowers are compressed shoots in which floral organs are arranged in whorls, generally in a symmetrical manner that may be an intrinsic feature of...

Innovations in functional genomics and molecular breeding of pea: exploring advances and opportunities
The garden pea ( Pisum sativum L.) is a significant cool-season legume, serving as crucial food sources, animal feed, and industrial raw materials....

A phylogenetically conserved APETALA2/ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR, ERF12, regulates Arabidopsis floral development
Key messageArabidopsis ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR12 ( ERF12 ), the rice MULTIFLORET SPIKELET1 orthologue pleiotropically affects meristem identity,...

Evolution of Symmetry in Plants
Symmetry provides organisms with an efficient means to cope with physical constraints and explore three-dimensional space. We describe the diversity...

Hormones and Flower Development in Arabidopsis
Sexual reproduction requires the participation of two gametes, female and male. In angiosperms, gametes develop in specialized organs, pollen...
