Brief history of the gymnosperms: classification, biodiversity, phytogeography and ecology (2007, background): “…focussed on the systematic position of Gnetales, the position of Ginkgo biloba in molecular studies varies between a close relationship to conifers or to cycads (Hasebe et al. 1992; Bowe et al. 2000; Chaw et al. 2000; Frohlich & Parker 2000; Rydin et al. 2002; Schmidt & Schneider-Poetsch 2002).”
Integrating Molecular Phylogenetic and Paleobotanical Evidence on Origin of the Flower (2008, background): “…the finding that ovules are abaxial in the cupules of corystosperms (Axsmith et al. 2000; Klavins et al. 2002) contradicts the homology between corystosperm cupules and angiosperm bitegmic ovules postulated in the original version of his ‘‘mostly male’’ hypothesis (Frohlich and Parker 2000).”
Generating and Filtering Major Phenotypic Novelties: NeoGoldschmidtian Saltation Revisited (2002, background): “2001) and, more importantly, recent polygenic phylogenies that placed the gnetophytes as a derived clade within a now monophyletic clade of extant gymnosperms (cf. Mathews and Donoghue, 1999; Qiu et ai, 1999; Chaw et ai, 2000; Frohlich and Parker, 2000; Graham and Olmstead, 2000).”
Early Cretaceous Archaefructus eoflora sp. nov. with Bisexual Flowers from Beipiao, Western Liaoning, China (2004, background): “According to Frohlich and Parker (2000), ectopic male structure indicates the existence of the NLY gene that is not found in extant angiosperms (that have LFY only) but in gymnosperms (that have both NLY and LFY genes) and expected in ancestors of angiosperms.”
Early evolution of angiosperm pollen as inferred from molecular and morphological phylogenetic analyses (2005, background): “…not associate any other living gymnosperm group with angiosperms (Goremykin et al. 1996, Chaw et al. 1997, 2000; Qiu et al. 1999, Bowe et al. 2000, Frohlich & Parker 2000, Sanderson et al. 2000, Rydin et al. 2002, Soltis et al. 2002, Burleigh & Mathews 2004, Nickerson & Drouin 2004; for congruent…”

The Flowers in Extant Basal Angiosperms and Inferences on Ancestral Flowers (2001, background): “Potential ancestors of angiosperms, such as glossopterids or Caytoniales, had larger and less compact reproductive organs (Doyle 1998; Frohlich and Parker 2000).”
A Nonflowering Land Plant Phylogeny Inferred from Nucleotide Sequences of Seven Chloroplast, Mitochondrial, and Nuclear Genes (2007, background): “…sister to angiosperms and that Gnetales are embedded among conifers (Goremykin et al. 1996; Chaw et al. 1997, 2000; Qiu et al. 1999; Bowe et al. 2000; Frohlich and Parker 2000; Gugerli et al. 2001; Magallón and Sanderson 2002; Rydin et al. 2002; Soltis et al. 2002; Burleigh and Mathews 2004).”

Angiosperm Floral Evolution: Morphological Developmental Framework (2006, background): “In the ‘‘mostly male theory of flower evolutionary origins’’ (Frohlich, 2001, 2003; Frohlich and Parker, 2000), it is hypothesized that the carpel originated by ectopic expression of ovules in microsporophylls (see also Meyen, 1988).”
An Evaluation of A‐Function: Evidence from the APETALA1 and APETALA2 Gene Lineages (2007, background): “Other genes, such as LFY, that are required for floral meristem formation (Schultz and Haughn 1991; Weigel et al. 1992) are found in gymnosperms (e.g., Mellerowicz et al. 1998; Mouradov et al. 1998a; Frohlich and Parker 2000).”
Pteridosperms are the backbone of seed-plant phylogeny1 (2006, background): “…Albert et al. 1994, Goremykin et al. 1996, Chaw et al. 1997, 2000, Qiu et al. 1999, Sanmigullin et al. 1999, Winter et al. 1999, Bowe et al. 2000, Frohlich and Parker 2000, Nickrent et al. 2000, Gugerli et al. 2001, Mathews and Donoghue 2002, Rydin et al. 2002, Soltis et al. 2002, Becker and…”
