Scientists repot flowering plants ’ tree of life—and find it has tangled roots
About 150 million years ago, life on Earth began a complete revamp, thanks to the rapid rise of one giant group: the flowering plants, or angiosperms. The more efficient photosynthesis of magnolias, waterlilies, as well as many early lineages now extinct pumped oxygen into the atmosphere, and their nectar and fruits provided new types of food for insects and other animals, fueling new, more complex ecosystems that still dominate the planet today.
The sprouting of angiosperms happened so fast that the origins of certain groups has long been mired in mystery. Now, almost 300 plant biologists have banded together to r...
