#Flowering plants May be Considerably Older Than Previously Thought A new analysis of the land plant family tree suggests that flowering plants may have lived much earlier than previously thought.
says a new analysis of the plant family tree. Previous studies suggest that flowering plants, or angiosperms, first arose 140 to 190 million years ago.
the researchers used a method that allows for variable rates of evolution across the plant family tree. oerates of molecular evolution in plants seem to be correlated with changes in life history,
 To my knowledge the highest tree yet recorded in Thailand is a Krabak tree belonging to the Dipterocarpaceae (tropical oaks) 58 meters (190 feet) tall.
Peppers and tobacco both belong to a family of plants called Solanaceae. As a result peppers be they red yellow
Benefits associated with vegetables from the Solanaceae family seemed to be said fairly specific study researcher Susan Searles Nielsen an environmental and occupational health researcher at the University of Washington in Seattle.
Tea bushes blueberries Brazil nuts azaleas and persimmons are all members of the plant order Ericales along with kiwifruit.
Tomatillos are members of the Solanaceae (nightshade) family which includes tomatoes potatoes and eggplants. Both fossil and genetic evidence suggests that Solanaceae plants originated
and diversified in South america. But until now only fossil seeds attributed to Solanaceae plants have been discovered in South america most of the family's early fossil history comes from Europe.
The earliest South american tomato fossil larger than a seed is about 16 million years old.
This actually does match up pretty well with the idea that the Solanaceae family first diversified in South america.
Now thanks to the tomatillo find the Solanaceae molecular clock is too young Wilf said.
On the ground there were prairie grasses as well as members of the lilly orchid and rose families. About 13000 years ago more than three-fourths of the large Ice age animals including woolly mammoths mastodons saber-toothed tigers

Regardless of its powers to put you in the mood this succulent savory vegetable contains a stimulating blend of nutrients making this member of the lily family a fantastic food for your health.
People who are allergic to other members of the lily family such as onions garlic and chives are more likely to be allergic to asparagus.
It is a member of the legume family of plants like beans and grows in a vine-like manner laying down roots
and pecans they're part of the legume family of plants which includes beans lentils peas and other familiar foods.
and even in other relatives of the plant such as apples and peaches, all members of the Rosaceae family.
but also in other crop species from the Solanaceae family, such as aubergines (Solanum melongena) and peppers (Capsicum spp..

A study employing DNA sequences from all species of the papaya family instead revealed that the closest relatives of papaya are three herbaceous species
Rosaceae fruits which include apple apricot almond peach pear plum and strawberry showcase this cross-reactivity.
and belongs to the order of Ericales where blueberries tea bushes and Brazil nuts are classified also.
The kiwifruit genome sequence represents the first of a member in the Order ericales thus providing a valuable resource for comparative genomics and evolutionary studies Fei says.
Tropical forests thrive on natural nitrogen fertilizer pumped into the soil by trees in the legume family a diverse group that includes beans
The tulip tree Liriodendron tulipfera has been considered part of the magnolia family. But David Dilcher of Indiana University Bloomington and Mikhail S. Romanov of the N. V. Tsitsin Main Botanical garden in Moscow show that it is closely related to fossil plant specimens from the Lower Cretaceous period.
The article Fruit structure in Magnoliaceae s l. and Archaeanthus and their relationships appears in the most recent issue of the American Journal of Botany.
and began working with Romanov who specializes in study of the magnolia family and its relatives.
Both palm species are in the Arecaceae family of flowering plants which fossil evidence dates to the Cretaceous period an estimated 140 to 200 million years ago.
Eugenia is a large worldwide genus of woody evergreen trees and shrubs of the myrtle family that is particularly diverse in South america New caledonia and Madagascar.
In addition mass flowering is typical for the tropical forests in Borneo and elsewhere where hundreds of different plant timber species from the Dipterocarpaceae family flower synchronously.

Dietary nicotine may hold protective keynew research reveals that Solanaceae--a flowering plant family with some species producing foods that are edible sources of nicotine--may provide a protective effect against Parkinson's disease.
Previous studies have found that cigarette smoking and other forms of tobacco also a Solanaceae plant reduced relative risk of Parkinson's disease.
but as consumption of edible Solanaceae increased Parkinson's disease risk decreased with peppers displaying the strongest association.

Presumably the irreplaceable host of M. chomskyi are the beautiful flowers of the widespread Onagraceae or the so-called Evening-primrose family.
New checklist brings information about cucurbitaceae up to datein 2010 it was shown that melons and cucumbers can be traced back to India.
Because of the importance of the region for an understanding of Cucurbitaceae evolution and diversity a new checklist of the Cucurbitaceae of India was produced to update the information on that family.
The cucumber Family cucurbitaceae includes many of our favorite foods: pumpkins melon cucumber watermelon bottle gourds and bitter gourd.
Arun Pandey from the Department of Botany University of Delhi India and Susanne Renner from the Departments of Systematic Botany and Mycology University of Munich Germany decided to produce a checklist of the Cucurbitaceae of India that would bring up-to date the information
The checklist also includes a phylogenetic reconstruction of the family that shows the DNA-based placement of the 31 Indian genera relative to the World's remaining Cucurbitaceae.
Updating and summarising the available information on Indian Cucurbitaceae and linking it to molecular data
Also modern soil samples consistently contain pollen from the Australian pine (Casuarinaceae Casuarina) a plant which is an invasive species from Australia never found in prehistoric samples.
Like all cereals and other members of the grass family maize plants defend themselves with chemistry.
However some lateral buds sprout during the same season such as poplar trees other salicaceae species and many tropical species. This way a syleptic branching can increase de amount of branches leaf
The researchers assessed the existing collection of the Millennium Seed Bank by focusing on the legume family.
Legumes an important plant family which includes lentils soybeans and peanuts have the ability to prosper in nitrogen-poor soil environments thanks to an ingenious adaptation:
This study demonstrates for the first time that host plants from different plant families and with different ecological strategies possess very different microbial communities on their leaves said lead author Steven W. Kembel a former postdoctoral researcher in the UO's Institute of Ecology
This stands in contrast to what's been suggested for several other large plant families where other investigators have noted correlations between high species diversity in a group and the presence of whole genome doublings or triplings.
Coffee lies in the plant family Rubiaceae which has about 13000 species and is the world's fourth largest;
Lupin a legume belonging to the same plant family as peanuts is showing up as a wheat replacement in an increasing number of gluten-free products.

Among these the world's oldest-known grape species Indovitis chitaleyae discovered in 2005 and described in 2013 pushed the record of the Vitaceae (grape) family into the Late Cretaceous about 66 million years ago.
The research team also discovered that trees in North borneo belonging to the Family dipterocarpaceae (or dipterocarps translating literally to winged seeds)
which affects rose family fruits such as apples and pears and mummyberry disease which attacks blueberries. Mcart adds Our intent with this paper is to stimulate interest in the fascinating yet poorly understood microbial world of flowers.
As a result the Chilean fire bush (Proteaceae Embothrium coccineum) a tree endemic to Chile and Argentina could have an important role in the reforestation of Patagonia.
Proteaceae species common in the southern hemisphere are known for a root structure adaptation that increases phosphorus acquisition from weathered phosphorus-poor soils.
How does the production of cluster roots in this Proteaceae enable successful establishment in young volcanic soils of South america?
In contrast to previous studies of Proteaceae in Australia and South africa the best-fit model for predicting the number of cluster roots in this study did not contain any soil P factor;
Embothrium coccineum may have an important role in reforestation of Patagonia as an early successional species. Cluster roots have been identified in other plant species including some agronomic crops in the Cucurbitaceae.
As a result of this study nitrogen status of soil and plants in addition to phosphorus will always be included in Proteaceae studies by Piper.
Proteaceae can do something no other plant can do Piper explains. They are accessing nutrients that no other plants can access.
