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.
布伦卡德等人提出,新发现的 LEAFY 序列与我们通过混杂中间体进化的模型相矛盾。基于围绕陆地植物系统发育的争论以及我们对这些有趣的新序列的分析,我们解释了为什么没有确凿的证据来否定我们的模型。
