Influence of biological and social-historical variables on the time taken to describe an angiosperm. by Cavallin, E, Munhoz, C, Harris, S, Villarroel, D, Proença, C

“… <h4>Premise of the Study</h4> <p>By convention, scientific naming of angiosperm species began in 1753; it is estimated that 10–20% of species remain undescribed. …”

Patterns of ROS accumulation in the stigmas of angiosperms and visions into their multi-functionality in plant reproduction by Zafra, A, Rejón, J, Hiscock, S, Alché, J

“…Finally, the distribution of ROS in primitive Angiosperms of the genus Magnolia was determined. The production of such chemical species in these plants was several orders of magnitude higher than in the remaining species evoking a massive displacement toward the defense function. …”

Gene flow between alien and native races of the holoparasitic angiosperm Orobanche minor (Orobanchaceae) by Thorogood, C, Rumsey, F, Harris, S, Hiscock, S

“…The holoparasitic angiosperm Orobanche minor parasitizes a diverse range of flowering plants from at least 16 orders in both the monocots and eudicots. …”

False blister beetles and the expansion of gymnosperm-insect pollination modes before angiosperm dominance by Peris, D, Pérez-de la Fuente, R, Peñalver, E, Delclòs, X, Barrón, E, Labandeira, C

“…During the mid-Cretaceous, angiosperms diversified from several nondiverse lineages to their current global domination, replacing earlier gymnosperm lineages. …”
