The first 150 words of the full text of this article appear below.

Evo–Devo (evolutionary–developmental) studies aim to explain, at a molecular level, how developmental processes evolved. Such explanations may account for the big leaps that evolution has taken, often correlating with the origins of major new clades of organisms. In addition, evo–devo comparisons may explain present-day biodiversity, by characterizing the different routes that molecular evolution has followed in related lineages.

In recognition of the growing importance of plant evo–devo, a session devoted to this subject was included in the 15th Congress of the Federation of European Societies of Plant Biology (FESPB) held in Lyon, France in July 2006. The FESPB Evo–Devo Session was sponsored by Annals of Botany, as were two plenary lectures at the Congress that also focussed on the subjects of evo–devo and biodiversity. Accordingly, this ‘Highlight’ contains articles by authors who contributed to this FESPB Congress.

Plant evo–devo was initially made possible by advances in developmental genetics of model . . . [Full Text of this Article]
