Friis, Else Marie and Pedersen, Kaj Raunsgaard 2011. Canrightia resinifera gen. et sp. nov., a new extinct angiosperm with Retimonocolpites-type pollen from the Early Cretaceous of Portugal: missing ...

To see what the first primitive angiosperm might have looked like, I flew to England and there met paleobotanist Chris Hill, formerly with London's Natural History Museum. Hill drove me through ...

However, the mechanisms by which flowers maintain water balance are poorly understood across angiosperm branches. In a study published in Plant Biology, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical ...

You may not think of planting a fast-growing tree more commonly seen in ornamental gardens, but this discovery could open up ...

It was heralded as the earliest known angiosperm, or flowering plant, and it is now thought to be roughly 125 million years old. In the following video clips, fossil images, and drawings ...

The authors sought to clarify higher-level relationships and divergence times within weevils to examine the evolutionary history of weevil-angiosperm associations. A time-calibrated phylogeny was ...

Like the others, it is an angiosperm, a flowering plant, having solved the problem of pollination underwater—no bees—and having mastered submarine dispersal of fruit, which simply detaches and ...

"In the fossil record they appear very suddenly in the Cretaceous, dated at about 100 million years ago, and there's nothing that looks like an angiosperm before them and then they suddenly appear ...

The white oak (Quercus alba) is a perennial tree of the Fagaceae family that best grows on rich, heavy, upland soil at a relatively slow growth rate of 12” to 24” every year. It is a medium to tall ...

Long-lived proteins in the mouse ovary may help preserve fertility well into adulthood, providing insights into ovarian aging.
