Description
Current major interests in this area include the study of higher level phylogenetic relationships and character evolution in the angiosperms,
floral evolution, the genetic basis of key floral differences in basal angiosperms, the genetic and genomic consequences of polyploid
speciation, conservation genetics of rare plant species, and phylogeography. This book provides a series of papers focused on the developmental
genetics of flowering as well as the genetic control of the timing of flowering. Investigation of speciational mechanisms, evolutionary
relationships, and character evolution in flowering plants and land plants utilizing a variety of experimental approaches are discussed.
The chapters are excellent reviews of the current fast-moving area of research.
