“…The recent emergence of evolutionary developmental biology, or "evo-devo", opened a new approach for cross verifying molecular phylogenies with developmental data (Goodman and Coughlin 2000). The evolution of the female gametophyte is one such developmental characteristic.…”

Flowering plants (angiosperms) appeared on Earth rather suddenly approximately 130 million years ago and underwent a massive expansion in the subsequent 10-12 million years. Current molecular phylogenies have predominantly identified Amborella, followed by Nymphaea (water lilies) or Amborella plus Nymphaea, in the ANITA clade (Amborella, Nymphaeales, Illiciaceae, Trimeniaceae and Austrobaileyaceae) as the earliest angiosperm. However, developmental studies suggest that the earliest angiosperm had a 4-cell/4-nucleus female gametophyte and a diploid endosperm represented by Nymphaea, suggesting that Amborella, having an 8-cell/9-nucleus female gametophyte and a triploid endosperm, cannot be representative of the basal angiosperm. This evolution-development discordance is possibly caused by erroneous inference based on phylogenetic signals with low neutrality and/or high saturation. Here we show that the 3 rd codon transversion (P 3 Tv), with high neutrality and low saturation, is a robust high-resolution phylogenetic signal for such divergences and that the P 3 Tvbased land plant phylogeny cautiously identifies Nymphaea, followed by Amborella, as the most basal among the angiosperm species examined in this study. This P 3 Tv-based phylogeny contributes insights to the origin of angiosperms with concordance to fossil and stomata development evidence.

“…Epigeneticists and evolutionary developmental biologists (evo-devo) brought to light that the internal milieu of an organism, and non-genetic factors, are highly relevant for the origin and evolution of species (Goodman and Coughlin 2000). During the formation of the Modern Synthesis, a firm line was drawn between ontogeny, the development of the individual from conception until death; phylogeny, the evolution of species; and the external environment, the place where evolution occurred.…”

“…This new perspective also turns on its head Haeckel's view of development as a "re-enactment" of evolution, and evolution as "the mechanical cause" of development. (For an analysis of the implications of the Cambrian "explosion" and its place in the origins of "Evo-Devo," see Goodman & Coughlin, 2000).…”

The emerging synthesis of development and evolution: A new biology for psychoanalysis

Significant transformations have taken place in our understanding of evolution and development since the late nineteenth century, when the two seemed so closely related; at that time, the ideas of Charles Darwin, Ernst Haeckel, and other biologists played a prominent role in Freud's creation of psychoanalysis. During the twentieth century, as biological research reached the molecular level, biological concepts of development and of evolution veered progressively further from each other and further away from psychoanalysis. Then most recently, in response to a flood of discoveries in the last two decades, the long-separated fields of developmental and evolutionary biology have come together in the creation of a new field, informally referred to as "Evo-Devo." In this paper, I trace these remarkable changes, and discuss how these recent advances have returned biological concepts to a closer alignment with psychoanalytic principles regarding the role of early experience in long-term developmental change and the importance of the role that early parent-infant interactions play in shaping our lives and those of our children. I have illustrated the changes in our thinking that have taken place over the past half century by describing the different ways that I have thought about, puzzled over, and been enlightened by these changing concepts in the course of my psychobiological research on the roles of the mother-infant relationship in the development of a relatively simple model organism, the laboratory rat.
