Early angiosperms represent a pivotal chapter in plant evolution, marked by rapid diversification and profound ecological impact during the Early Cretaceous. These flowering plants, distinguished by ...

From towering trees and colorful garden flowers to crops like wheat, rice and fruits, angiosperms —or flowering plants — are everywhere, shaping ecosystems and feeding both humans and animals. Recent ...

Flowers may look delicate—but flowering plants, what scientists call angiosperms, are one of the most successful evolutionary organisms on the planet. Including more than 350,000 known species, they ...

Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, represent the most diverse group of seed plants, and their origin and evolution have long been a central question in plant evolutionary biology.

The angiosperms are the most recently derived plant group, originating some 160 million years ago and becoming widespread around 120 million years ago. Angiosperm means “enclosed seed,” referring to ...
