"After the first flower bloomed on the Earth, flowering plants evolved a
staggering diversity and now make up about 90% of all plant life. Charles
Darwin called this rapid domination an “abominable mystery.”
A study published today, April 24, in the journal
Nature and led by the Royal
Botanic Gardens, Kew, unveiled the most comprehensive understanding of the
evolutionary history of flowering plants to date.
The research, which analyzed 1.8 billion letters of genetic code from more than
9,500 species, clears up some of the mystery surrounding the rise of flowering
plants. Much like a periodic table, this tree of life shows how plants are
related.
To ensure the widest possible use of this data, the tree and all its underlying
data have been made openly and freely accessible to all through the
Kew Tree
of Life Explorer."
