Studies of terrestrial plants have elucidated basic biological and evolutionary principles, but gaps remain in understanding their diversification. To fill in these gaps and bridge the divide between modern molecular and classical studies, Ambrose (plant genomics, The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx) and Purugganan (genomics and systems biology, New York U; NYU Abu Dhabi Institute) compile a comprehensive review of the latest understanding of the evolution of innovations in land plant forms via classical methods (analyses of phylogenetic relationships and the fossil record of major plant groups) and modern tools in morphology, phylogeny, evolutionary mechanisms, and genomics. Chapters on quantitative genomic mapping methods treat adaptive plasticity in genetic variations. A synthesis offers a more inclusive theory for plant morphological evolution.
