Evolutionary diversification of the flowers in angiospermsPeter K Endress
Institute of Systematic Botany, University of Zurich, Zollikerstrasse 107, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland
Am J Bot 98:370-96. 2011..Such a review throughout the major clades of angiosperms also shows how superficial and fragmentary our knowledge on floral structure in many clades is. Fresh studies and a multidisciplinary approach are needed...
Floral development and floral phyllotaxis in Anaxagorea (Annonaceae)Peter K Endress
Institute of Systematic Botany, University of Zurich, Zollikerstrasse 107, Zurich, Switzerland
Ann Bot 108:835-45. 2011..This and the presence of completely plicate carpels in Anaxagorea makes the family homogeneous and distinguishes it from the closest relatives in Magnoliales...
Angiosperm ovules: diversity, development, evolutionPeter K Endress
Institute of Systematic Botany, University of Zurich, Zollikerstrasse 107, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland
Ann Bot 107:1465-89. 2011..Most recently evo-devo studies have been concentrated on molecular developmental genetics in ovules of model plants...
Synorganisation without organ fusion in the flowers of Geranium robertianum (Geraniaceae) and its not so trivial obdiplostemonyPeter K Endress
Institute of Systematic Botany, University of Zurich, Zollikerstrasse 107, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland
Ann Bot 106:687-95. 2010..Obdiplostemony occurs in Geranium and whether and how it is involved in this synorganisation is explored here...
The evolution of floral biology in basal angiospermsPeter K Endress
Institute of Systematic Botany, University of Zurich, Zollikerstrasse 107, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 365:411-21. 2010..Numerous specializations that are common in monocots and eudicots are absent in basal angiosperms. Several families are poorly known in their floral biology...
Floral phyllotaxis in basal angiosperms: development and evolutionPeter K Endress
Institute of Systematic Botany, University of Zurich, Zollikerstrasse 108, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland
Curr Opin Plant Biol 10:52-7. 2007..Whether the original floral phyllotaxis in angiosperms was spiral or whorled is equivocal, but it appears that spiral floral phyllotaxis in Magnoliales and Laurales is derived rather than primitive...
Floral structure of Kirkia (Kirkiaceae) and its position in SapindalesJulien B Bachelier
Institute of Systematic Botany, University of Zurich, Zollikerstrasse 107, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland
Ann Bot 102:539-50. 2008..The present study is the first detailed analysis of the floral structure of a representative of Kirkiaceae and the first comparison with other sapindalean families, especially Anacardiaceae and Burseraceae...
Carpels in Brasenia (Cabombaceae) are completely ascidiate despite a long stigmatic crestPeter K Endress
Institute of Systematic Botany, University of Zurich, Zollikerstrasse 107, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland
Ann Bot 96:209-15. 2005..This is in contrast to the carpel structure in other genera of the ANITA grade. Therefore, a study of carpel development and carpel structure at anthesis was carried out...
Reconstructing the ancestral angiosperm flower and its initial specializationsPeter K Endress
Institute of Systematic Botany, University of Zurich, Zollikerstrasse 107, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland
Am J Bot 96:22-66. 2009..spiral floral phyllotaxis, presence vs. absence of tepal differentiation, anatropous vs. orthotropous ovules. Our results indicate that the simple flowers of the newly recognized basal groups are reduced rather than primitively simple...
Female flower and cupule structure in Balanopaceae, an enigmatic rosid familyDoris Merino Sutter
Institute of Systematic Botany, University of Zurich, Zollikerstrasse 107, CH 8008, Switzerland
Ann Bot 92:459-69. 2003..However, within Malpighiales, as opposed to molecular results, Balanopaceae agree more with Euphorbiaceae s.l. than with Dichapetalaceae/Trigoniaceae and Chrysobalanaceae/Euphroniaceae...
