In the week where "Gymnosperm" is our word of the week it is interesting to see a story about the evolution of a very important group of plants - the Angiosperms. These are the flowering plants which include grasses and most of the plants that we eat.
If this data is correct, putting the appearance of the Angiosperms back into the Triassic rather than the later Cretaceous as currently thought, it could change our understanding of both plant evolution but the evolution of all the aniamlls that sit above plants in the food chain.
