FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues from last weekend exploring Darwin’s “abominable mystery”, the rise of flowering plants (angiosperms). There was no way Darwin could have known the full story: genes had not been discovered then. Their extraordinary diversity of their sexual organs (flowers), seed design, and the genetics driving them is fascinating. I touch on a bigger topic, whole genome duplication, that will be taken up in more detail in coming weeks.
