Ronse De Craene Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2011 ix, 310 p., [10] p. of plates : ill. (some col.) ; 26 cm. The Systematics Association special volume series ; 80 Includes bibliographical references and indexes "Genetic and molecular studies have recently come to dominate botanical research at the expense of more traditional morphological approaches. This broad introduction to modern flower systematics demonstrates the great potential that floral morphology has to complement molecular data in phylogenetic and evolutionary investigations. Contributions from experts in floral morphology and evolution take the reader through examples of how flowers have diversified in a large variety of lineages of extant and fossil flowering plants. They explore angiosperm origins and the early evolution of flowers and analyse the significance of morphological characters for phylogenetic reconstructions on the tree of life. The importance of integrating morphology into modern botanical research is highlighted through case studies exploring specific plant groups where morphological investigations are having a major impact. Examples include the clarification of phylogenetic relationships and understanding the significance and evolution of specific floral characters, such as pollination mechanisms and stamen and carpel numbers"-- Provided by publisher Flowers Morphology Flowers Evolution Angiosperms Morphology Angiosperms Evolution Wanntorp, Livia Ronse Decraene, L.
