A recent study using an extensive data set plus sophisticated analytical tools reconstructed a model of the ancestral angiosperm flower. Although attractive, it presents problems of homology assessment. We discuss its inconsistencies and endorse the use of a comparative model that integrates biological parameters as essential to elucidate floral evolution.
最近的一项研究使用了大量数据集和复杂的分析工具来重建祖先被子植物花的模型。虽然很有吸引力,但它提出了同源性评估的问题。我们讨论了它的不一致性,并支持使用一种比较模型,该模型将生物学参数整合在一起,对于阐明花的进化至关重要。
