Lycophyte trees, up to 50 m in height, were the tallest in the Carboniferous coal swamp forests. The similarity in their shoot and root morphology led to the hypothesis that their rooting (stigmarian) systems were modified leafy shoot systems, distinct from the roots of all other plants. Each consis

BACKGROUND: The quantification of the spatial order of biological patterns or mosaics provides useful information as many properties are determined by the spatial distribution of their constituent elements. These are usually characterised by methods based on nearest neighbours distances, by the numb

In monocots and eudicots, B class function specifies second and third whorl floral organ identity as described in the classic ABCE model. Grass B class APETALA3/DEFICIENS orthologs have been functionally characterized; here, we describe the positional cloning and characterization of a maize (Zea may
