Compared to animals, plants have been largely neglected in
evolutionary developmental biology. Mainstream research has focused
on developmental genetics, while a rich body of knowledge in
comparative morphology is still to be exploited. No integrated
account is available. In this volume, Minelli fills this gap using
the same approach he gave to animals, revisiting traditional
concepts and providing an articulated analysis of genetic and
molecular data. Topics covered include leaf complexity and the
evolution of flower organs, handedness, branching patterns, flower
symmetry and synorganization, and less conventional topics such as
fractal patterns of plant organization. Also discussed is the
hitherto neglected topic of the evolvability of temporal phenotypes
like a plant's annual, biennial or perennial life cycle, flowering
time and the timing of abscission of flower organs. This will be
informative reading for anyone in the field of plant evo-devo, from
students to lecturers and researchers.
