This is not the first molecular clock study to include both plants and fungi, but it is the first such study with sufficiently detailed taxon sampling to directly compare the relative ages of the nodes that are critical for reconstructing the evolution of ECM associations among the Agaricomycetes.

A third calibration point, the divergence of deuterostomes (vertebrates) and arthropods based on a molecular clock study using 50 proteins and calibrated with the vertebrate fossil record (993 Ma) [ 33], was used in some analyses and tested (with the arthropod fossil record and by substituting vertebrates with a tunicate, Ciona intestinalis) in others (see below).

In molecular clock studies, choice of fossil calibration is critical but will not be discussed further here (see Steiper and Young [2008] for a review).

The deep divergence model is supported by a majority of molecular clock studies, but is challenged by the paucity of bilaterian fossils before and during the Ediacaran Period.

Mechanistic investigation, including kinetic, spectroscopic, and radical clock studies, attributes the trans diastereoselectivity to a classic, organometallic catalytic cycle mediated by Ni(I) and Ni III) intermediates.

Molecular clock studies that suggested that divergence in the A-genome wild rice genepool occurred prior to domestication gave further weight to the opinion that rice had a dual origin.

A close relationship between Redlichiid fauna and the margins of the Mawson Ocean and the Olenellid fauna with the margins of the Mirovian Ocean suggests that the eutrilobites originated and diversified prior to ~565 million years ago in accordance with some molecular clock studies of extant organisms.
