Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Austrobaileya fruit has a parenchymatous pericarp and mesotestal seeds.
- Observation The other genera have exomesotestal seeds.
- Observation Reconstructions favor an apocarpous berry as the ancestral fruit type of all angiosperms or all except Amborellaceae.
- Observation Ancestral seed reconstruction yielded either seeds without a sclerenchymatous layer or exotestal seeds.
