  • Here, the authors describe a pathogenic fungus from a 400-million-year-old fossil plant from the Devonian Rhynie Chert in Scotland. They use advanced imaging methods to determine that the fungus belongs to the sac fungi, the most diverse group of Fungi today.

  • Clark and colleagues show that plant anatomical diversity evolved episodically over geologic time, reflecting ecological expansion facilitated by reproductive innovations. This is paralleled in animals and fungi, suggesting a general evolutionary mode for multicellular bodyplans.

  • Flowering plants are comparative newcomers in evolutionary terms, but identifying their origins and the relationships between the 250,000 or so living species remains one of evolutionary biology's big questions. Two studies have taken the approach of multigene analysis to map out the deepest branches of the flowering-plant evolutionary tree.

  • A model based on biophysical principles of plant physiology, and drawing on fossil and environmental data, indicates that the origin of leaves was triggered by falling levels of atmospheric CO2.

  • Fungi originated in a freshwater environment and their evolution accompanied the rise of algae and land plants. In this Review, Berbee and colleagues examine the fossil and genomic record of ancient fungi and the inferences we can make about their lifestyle.

  • Examination of racial disparities in prostate cancer in the USA and UK highlights systemic, socio-economic and sociocultural factors that might contribute to these differences. Understanding behavioural medicine might inform and improve the way in which the health-care system can engage with patients in minorities who are affected by this disease.
