Really nice commentary here about evo-devo in the stomata field.
Robert Caine@RobertCaine218 Mar 2024
Always fascinating contemplating the evolution of stomata during land plant evolution. Here's a really nice commentary by @CasparChater on some fascinating new research in @NewPhyt. * See thread for the very nice original article by Meigas et al. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/…

A tail of two horses? Guard cell abscisic acid and carbon dioxide signalling in the Equisetum ferns

This article is a Commentary on Meigas et al. (2024), 243: 513–518.

my first paper of the year (and my first ever single author paper) has been finally published! Do you work on #fossil #plants? Do you feel that your #phylogenies are too uncertain? Don't fear uncertainty, EMBRACE IT! doi.org/10.1002/ajb2.16282

Embracing uncertainty: The way forward in plant fossil phylogenetics

Although molecular phylogenetics remains the most widely used method of inferring the evolutionary history of living groups, the last decade has seen a renewed interest in morphological phylogeneti...
