Sequencing of the water lily’s genome has shed light on the early evolution of angiosperms, flowering plants. Utilizing high-throughput next-generation sequencing technology, an international team of ...
Fossils of angiosperms first appear in the fossil record about 140 million years ago. Based on the material in which these fossils are deposited, early angiosperms must have been weedy, fast-growing ...

They are very tiny, but they are a key source of information when it comes to Earth's evolutionary history: pollen grains are usually no larger than 20 micrometers, or 0.02 millimeters. Using these ...
Flowering plants may have evolved 250 million years ago, more than 100 million years earlier than the oldest fossilised flowers so far found. Today, flowering plants – known as angiosperms – are the ...
Paleontologists may be on the verge of solving one of the great mysteries in the history of life on our planet – the origin of angiosperms, the flowering plants. The importance of angiosperms cannot ...
