Flowers may be more ancient than dinosaurs – but scientists can’t agree on when they evolved

Including more than 350,000 known species, they dominate the ecological system, shape food webs and play a vital role in oxygen production.

Key Points: 
  • Including more than 350,000 known species, they dominate the ecological system, shape food webs and play a vital role in oxygen production.
  • Plus, many of them are valuable commercial crops – think of roses, grains and tomatoes.
  • A step change in research is shaking up the way scientists think about plants: they are far more complex and more like us than you might imagine.
  • But not all scientists agree it is an angiosperm, due to the different definitions of flower organs.
  • This is the largest known amber-preserved fossil flower, measuring about 3cm across and about three times as large as most floral fossils, showing beautiful details of this ancient flower.

Jurassic or Cretaceous?

  • The timing of flowers’ evolution is still a matter of debate between scientists, but most scientists are in one of two camps: Jurassic or Cretaceous.
  • Analyses using molecular data (DNA or protein sequences) suggest flowers could be much older than the fossil record shows – a Jurassic (145 million years ago) or even Triassic origin (201 million years ago).

Deciphering the past by molecular data

  • One technique scientists use to determine the timing of evolutionary events is the “molecular clock”.
  • This concept originated from the understanding that genetic mutations tend to accumulate at a constant rate across both time and species.
  • To construct a molecular clock, researchers analyse gene segments that have been conserved throughout a species’ evolution.

Piecing the puzzle together

  • Scientists examine fossil plants and observe the gradual changes in structures such as leaves, flowers and seeds over time.
  • Comparing their anatomy allows researchers to identify similarities and differences between extinct and still-living species, or species in different clades.
  • Biological traits which appear similar may be a result of convergent evolution, indicating changes in characteristics for environmental adaptation, rather than genetic similarity.

Mathematical approach can also help

  • There is also a mathematical approach to estimating the age of angiosperms – for instance, using the Bayesian Brownian Bridge (BBB) method.
  • This statistical model is a scientific formula that uses the distribution of fossils through time to estimate the age of a group.
  • By using the BBB method, an international research team found that the origin of angiosperms supports a pre-Cretaceous hypothesis.
