%0 Journal Article %T Evolution of unusual morphologies in Lentibulariaceae (bladderworts and allies) and Podostemaceae (river-weeds): a pictorial report at the interface of developmental biology and morphological diversification %A Rolf Rutishauser %J Archive of "Annals of Botany". %D 2016 %R 10.1093/aob/mcv172 %X Background Various groups of flowering plants reveal profound (¡®saltational¡¯) changes of their bauplans (architectural rules) as compared with related taxa. These plants are known as morphological misfits that appear as rather large morphological deviations from the norm. Some of them emerged as morphological key innovations (perhaps ¡®hopeful monsters¡¯) that gave rise to new evolutionary lines of organisms, based on (major) genetic changes %K Deconstrained bauplans %K developmental robustness %K evolutionary developmental biology %K hopeful monsters %K molecular genetics %K morphospace %K process morphology %K root¨Cshoot bauplan %K saltational evolution %K Dalzellia %K Genlisea %K Tristicha. %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4845801/
