Following up on his landmark book, The Evolutionary Biology of Plants (The University of Chicago Press, 1997), Karl J. Niklas sheds new light on the major aspects of evolutionary theory using plants rather than animals as his medium. Ten years in the making, Plant Evolution: Essays About a Green World explores the flourishing world of molecular biology, taking into account new research that further illuminates the intricacies of plant development including genetics, gene regulatory networks, phenotype mapping, and multicellularity. Benefiting from Niklas s expertise in organismal biology, this volume presents a tour-de-force that treads new ground by exploring how generally accepted evolutionary views sometimes fail to hold true for plants. Throughout, Niklas offers fresh insights on the patterns of plant evolution and the modes of studying the underlying process that drives those patterns. Leaving no leaf unturned, he also explores the evolution of diversification of early vascular land plants, providing a theoretical background from which to understand the fossil record. With wide-ranging consideration of paleontology, genetics, development modeling, and theory, Plant Evolution is sure to sprout new ideas in students and scientists alike."
