Document Summary

Major parts: perennial: originates from roots of previous years, annual: 1 life cycle every year, corolla: flower petals, calyx: flower sepals, perianth: sepals and petals, stamen: produces pollen; filament + anther, carpel: produces ovules; stigma + stile + ovary, pistil: one or cluster of carpels, pollination: transfer of pollen from anther to stigma. Abominable mystery by darwin suggested that they may have evolved from extinct gymnosperms dating back 200 mybp called seed ferns; convergent evolution: oleanane was discovered by moldewan which is a phytochemical found in flower plants as a defense substrate against insects; not found in conifers, greater diversity then any other group of plants due to coevolution with; (a) pollinators, (b) herbivores and (c) seed dispersers (a) pollen exchange is almost 100%, as pollinators become dependent on nectar and pollen for food, the plant affects the insect"s evolution.
