Evolution of Complexity. Molecular Aspects of Preassembly by Fredric M. Menger, Syed A. A. Rizvi

“…This preassembly model explains many observations that to this present day still puzzle biologists: formation of super-complexity in the absence of multiple fossil precursors, as with bat echolocation and flowering plants; major genetic and physical alterations occurring in just a few thousand years, as with housecat evolution; lack of precursors preceding lush periods of species expansion, as in the Cambrian explosion; and evolution of costly traits that exceed their need during evolutionary times, as with human intelligence. …”

The Role of Vertical and Horizontal Transfer in the Evolutionary Dynamics of PIF-Like Transposable Elements in Triticeae. by Dragomira N Markova, Roberta J Mason-Gamer

“…The evolution of the gene that encodes the transposase responsible for mobilizing PIF-like elements has been studied in both plants and animals, but the elements' history in flowering plants remains poorly known. In this work, we describe the phylogenetic distribution and evolution of PIF-like elements in the genomes of 21 diploid species from the wheat tribe, Triticeae, and we present the first convincing evidence of horizontal transfer of PIF elements in plant genomes. …”

Ribosomes, membranes and organelles during meiosis in angiosperms. by Dickinson, H, Heslop-Harrison, J

“…Evidence is presented from both observational and analytical techniques indicating profound changes to take place in the ribosome population during male and female meiosis in some flowering plants. During microsporogenesis these appear to involve the elimination of the major part of the ribosome complement early in the meiotic prophase, and its subsequent restoration by the disintegration in the tetrad cytoplasm of 'nucleoloids', themselves synthesized in the nucleus during late prophase. …”
