Description:
Brunkard et al. propose that the identification of novel LEAFY sequences contradicts our model of evolution through promiscuous intermediates. Based on the debate surrounding land plant phylogeny and on our analysis of these interesting novel sequences, we explain why there is no solid evidence to disprove our model.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Brockington, Samuel F -- Moyroud, Edwige -- Sayou, Camille -- Monniaux, Marie -- Nanao, Max H -- Thevenon, Emmanuel -- Chahtane, Hicham -- Warthmann, Norman -- Melkonian, Michael -- Zhang, Yong -- Wong, Gane Ka-Shu -- Weigel, Detlef -- Dumas, Renaud -- Parcy, Francois -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 Feb 6;347(6222):621. doi: 10.1126/science.1256011.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EA, UK. ; Wellcome Trust Center for Cell Biology, Michael Swann Building 5.1, King's Buildings.
