• Evolution of developmental potential and the multiple independent origins of leaves in Paleozoic vascular plants (2002, background): “However, the most recent phylogenetic work based on living plants places Equisetum and the Psilotales along with eusporangiate ferns as basal lineages in a clade containing all extant pteridophytes, save for lycopods (Pryer et al. 2001).”
• Plastid genome sequencing, comparative genomics, and phylogenomics: Current status and prospects (2010, background): “Among them, lycophytes (clubmosses) form a clade sister to the clade of ferns and spermatophytes (seed plants) (Kenrick & Crane, 1997; Pryer et al., 2001), which is strongly supported by a unique 30-kb inversion in the chloroplast genome (Raubeson & Jansen, 1992).”
• Motile Gametes of Land Plants: Diversity, Development, and Evolution (2001, background): “However, data from spermatogenesis do not support the nesting of Psilotum within the eusporangiate ferns, as suggested by recent molecular phylogenies (Wolf, 1997; Wolf et al., 1998; Pryer et al., 2001).”
• Phylogenetic Analyses of Basal Angiosperms Based on Nine Plastid, Mitochondrial, and Nuclear Genes (2005, background): “Pryer et al. 2001; AF313558 Degeneriaceae: Degeneria vitensis JM Miller 1189-63; JL/FBQ/YQ; AF293752 JM Miller 1189-63; FBQ/JL/YQ; AF197771 Savolainen et al. 2000; AJ235451 Qiu et al. 1993; L12643 Soltis et al. 2000; AF206898 Didymelaceae: Didymeles perrieri Olivier Hoot et al. 1999;…”
• Evolution and diversity of plant cell walls: from algae to flowering plants. (2011, background): “Tannins present in vascular plants (102) have similar properties, and their occurrence in vascular plants correlates with expanded numbers of mammalian grazers (105).”
