Sammanfattning

Our morphological and gene expression analyses give support to the hypothesis that the modern cone is a complex structure, and the ovuliferous scale the result of reductions and compactions of an ovule-bearing axillary short shoot in cones of Paleozoic conifers.

Nyckelord

conifer reproductive development; LEAFY genes; MADS-box genes; ovule; ovuliferous scale; Picea abies var. acrocona
