Gynoecium diversity and systematics of the Laurales
@article{Endress1997GynoeciumDA, title={Gynoecium diversity and systematics of the Laurales}, author={Peter K. Endress and Anton Igersheim}, journal={Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society}, year={1997}, volume={125}, pages={93-168} }
Carpel and ovule structure was comparatively studied in representatives of all eight families of the Laurales: Amborellaceae, Calycanthaceae, Chloranthaceae, Gomortegaceae,Hernandiaceae, Lauraceae, Monimiaceae, and Trimeniaceae. In all representatives the carpels are closed at anthesis. As in Magnoliales/winteroids, closure takes place in three different modes: (1) by postgenital fusion of the stylar (and ovarial) ventral slit (Calycanthaceae, Gomortegaceae, Lauraceae, Hernandiaceae); (2) by…

The results strongly support three pairs of families in sister group relationships, as suggested by studies based on other characters: Cabombaceae-Nymphaeaceae, Saururaceae-Piperaceae, and Lactoridaceae-Aristolochi Families, and Hydnoraceae-Rafflesiaceae to some extent.

The lateral ovules position in Calycanthaceae is correlated with a different development of carpel closure as compared with core Laurales, which exhibit median ovule position, and the identity of “staminodes” (sterile organs between stamens and carpels) is discussed.

It is likely that, while the shared successive cytokinesis during meiosis of microspore mother cells supports the Monimiaceae–Hernandiaceae–Lauraceae clade obtained by molecular evidence, no synapomorphies exist to support a sister-group relationship of Monimia, Palmeria and Peumus with Hernandi Families or Lauraceae.

In Laurales, floral phyllotaxis diversity appears to have evolved from spiral phyllOTaxis, independently in Atherospermataceae, Siparunaceae, and Monimiaceae.

Comparisons with other Laurales and Magnoliales show that Gomortega has many embryological features in common with the other lauralean families, but appears to have no embryological autapomorphies, but further comparison with Atherospermataceae is required.

The results most strongly support an Annonaceae-Myristicaceae- canellaceae-Canellaceae alliance, to some degree also an Eupomatiaceae-Degeneriaceae-Himantandraceae-Magnoliaceae alliance and an Illiciaceae-Schisand raceae-Winteraceae-Austrobaileyaceae alliance.

Varying carpel vasculature suggests derivation of the uniovulate condition in Hedycarya from ancestors having multiovulate carpels with ovules in two rows, Floral ontogeny is described and it is noted that the terminal stigmatic region of the carpel develops from a solid terminal meristem, in contrast to many woody Ranales in which the stigma consists of crests surrounding theCarpel cleft.
