Evolution and Phylogeny of Gnetophytes: Evidence From the Anatomically Preserved Seed Cone Protoephedrites Eamesii gen. et sp nov. and the Seeds of Several Bennettitalean Species

Creator:: Rothwell, Gar W. and Stockey, Ruth A.
Abstract:: A fossil seed cone with characters that have been hypothesized as transitional to the origin of crown group gnetophytes has been discovered in Lower Cretaceous deposits on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. This cone, described as Protoephedrites eamesii gen. et sp. nov., provides the first anatomically preserved fossil evidence for...

A Lower Cretaceous (Valanginian) seed cone provides the earliest fossil record for Picea (Pinaceae)

Creator:: Klymiuk, Ashley A. and Stockey, Ruth A.
Abstract:: Premise of study: Sequence analyses for Pinaceae have suggested that extant genera diverged in the late Mesozoic. While the fossil record indicates that Pinaceae was highly diverse during the Cretaceous, there are few records of living genera. This description of an anatomically preserved seed cone extends the fossil record for...

Pararaucaria carrii sp nov., anatomically preserved evidence for the conifer family cheirolepidiaceae in the northern hemisphere

Creator:: Stockey, Ruth A. and Rothwell, Gar W.
Abstract:: A cylindrical permineralized conifer seed cone has been identified from the Officer Member of the Trowbridge Formation, near Izee, in east-central Oregon. The cone is preserved in a Middle Jurassic (Callovian) marine calcium carbonate concretion, associated with araucarian seed cones, conifer twigs and wood, cycad seeds, fern rachides, and lycopodialean...

Unearthing the Cretaceous Diversification of Cornales

Creator:: Atkinson, Brian A.
Abstract:: The order Cornales (dogwoods) is the earliest diverging lineage within the most diverse group of flowering plants, the asterids (>80,000 species). Although molecular phylogenetics have significantly improved our understanding of cornalean systematics, early phylogenetic relationships remain uncertain due to an initial rapid radiation. The fossil record of Cornales is extensive...

Analysis of the VPg-Proteinase (NIa) Encoded by Tobacco Etch Potyvirus: Effects of Mutations on Subcellular Transport, Proteolytic Processing, and Genome Amplification

Creator:: Schadd, Mary C., Haldeman-Chahill, Ruth, Cronin, Stephen, and Carrington, James C.
Abstract:: A mutational analysis was conducted to investigate the functions of the tobacco etch potyvirus VPgproteinase (NIa) protein in vivo. The NIa N-terminal domain contains the VPg attachment site, whereas the C-terminal domain contains a picornavirus 3C-like proteinase. Cleavage at an internal site separating the two domains occurs in a subset...

Diversity of ancient conifers: The jurassic seed cone bancroftiastrobus digitata gen. et sp. nov. (coniferales)

Creator:: Rothwell, Gar W., Mapes, Gene, Stockey, Ruth A., and Hilton, Jason
Abstract:: Premise of research. A third genus of anatomically preserved conifer seed cones has been recognized from a Late Jurassic deposit in northeastern Scotland. This cone is described as Bancroftiastrobus digitata Rothwell, Mapes, Stockey et Hilton. Methodology. The cone was sectioned with the classic coal ball peel technique and studied and...

The Seed Cone Eathiestrobus gen. nov.: Fossil Evidence for a Jurassic Origin of Pinaceae

Creator:: Rothwell, Gar W., Mapes, Gene, Stockey, Ruth A., and Hilton, Jason
Abstract:: Premise of the study: Pinaceae and nonpinoid species are sister groups within the conifer clade as inferred from molecular systematic comparisons of living species and therefore should have comparable geological ages. However, the fossil record for the nonpinoid lineage of extant conifer families is Triassic, nearly 100 million years older...

Honeggeriella complexa gen. et sp. nov., a heteromerous lichen from the lower cretaceous of Vancouver Island (British Columbia, Canada)

Creator:: Matsunaga, Kelly K. S., Stockey, Ruth A., and Tomescu, Alexandru M. F.
Abstract:: • Premise of the study: Colonists of even the most inhospitable environments, lichens are present in all terrestrial ecosystems. Because of their ecological versatility and ubiquity, they have been considered excellent candidates for early colonizers of terrestrial environments. Despite such predictions, good preservation potential, and the extant diversity of lichenized...

Reconsidering Relationships among Stem and Crown Group Pinaceae: Oldest Record of the Genus Pinus from the Early Cretaceous of Yorkshire, United Kingdom

Creator:: Ryberg, Patricia E., Rothwell, Gar W., Stockey, Ruth A., Hilton, Jason, Mapes, Gene, and Riding, James B.
Abstract:: This study describes a specimen that extends the oldest fossil evidence of Pinus L. to the Early Cretaceous Wealden Formation of Yorkshire, UK (131-129 million years ago), and prompts a critical reevaluation of criteria that are employed to identify crown group genera of Pinaceae from anatomically preserved seed cones. The...

Creator:: Bronson, Allison W., Klymiuk, Ashley A., Stockey, Ruth A., and Tomescu, Alexandru M. F.
Abstract:: A perithecial ascomycete, Spataporthe taylori gen. et sp. nov., represented by >70 sporocarps is preserved by cellular permineralization in marine carbonate concretions dated at the Valanginian-Hauterivian boundary (Early Cretaceous) from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The spheroid perithecia with lumina 330–470 µm wide and 220–320 µm high are densely distributed...
