Patterns of gene duplication in the plant SKP1 gene family in angiosperms: evidence for multiple mechanisms of rapid gene birth.
- H. Kong, Lena L. Landherr, M. Frohlich, J. Leebens-Mack, H. Ma, C. dePamphilis
- Biology, Medicine
- The Plant journal : for cell and molecular…
- 23 April 2007
Gene duplication plays important roles in organismal evolution, because duplicate genes provide raw materials for the evolution of mechanisms controlling physiological and/or morphological novelties.… Expand
The Mostly Male Theory of Flower Evolutionary Origins: from Genes to Fossils
- M. Frohlich, D. S. Parker
- Biology
- 1 April 2000
Abstract The two recent theories of flowering plant evolutionary origins—the Anthophyte and Neo-Pseudanthial theories—are based on phylogenies (from morphological data) that show Gnetales as extant… Expand
The Search for Flower Homeotic Gene Homologs in Basal Angiosperms and Gnetales: A Potential New Source of Data on the Evolutionary Origin of Flowers
- M. Frohlich, E. Meyerowitz
- Biology
- International Journal of Plant Sciences
- 1 November 1997
The evolutionary origin of flowering plants has long been contentious. The large morphological gap between flowering plants and their potential gymnosperm relatives makes homology difficult to… Expand

- Trends in plant science
- 1 August 2007
Through multifaceted genome-scale research involving phylogenomics, targeted gene surveys, and gene expression analyses in diverse basal lineages of angiosperms, our studies provide insights into the… Expand
After a dozen years of progress the origin of angiosperms is still a great mystery

- Nature
- 20 December 2007
Here we discuss recent advances surrounding the origin of angiosperms. Putatively primitive characters are now much better understood because of a vastly improved understanding of angiosperm… Expand
Characterization of C₃--C₄ intermediate species in the genus Heliotropium L. (Boraginaceae): anatomy, ultrastructure and enzyme activity.

Photosynthetic pathway characteristics were studied in nine species of Heliotropium (sensu lato, including Euploca), using assessments of leaf anatomy and ultrastructure, activities of PEP… Expand
An evolutionary scenario for the origin of flowers
- M. Frohlich
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Reviews Genetics
- 1 July 2003
The Mostly Male theory is the first to use evidence from gene phylogenies, genetics, modern plant morphology and fossils to explain the evolutionary origin of flowers. It proposes that flower… Expand
Floral gene resources from basal angiosperms for comparative genomics research
- V. Albert, D. Soltis, +21 authors J. Leebens-Mack
- Biology, Medicine
- BMC Plant Biology
- 30 March 2005
BackgroundThe Floral Genome Project was initiated to bridge the genomic gap between the most broadly studied plant model systems. Arabidopsis and rice, although now completely sequenced and under… Expand
Recent Developments Regarding the Evolutionary Origin of Flowers
- M. Frohlich
- Biology
- 2006
Abstract The evolutionary origin of flowers has long been a famous puzzle. The problem has not been solved, but there have been advances. The Anthophyte theory was based on relationships inferred in… Expand
