=== Evolution and species === Climbing habits in plants support themselves to reach the [[Canopy (biology)|canopy]] in order to receive more sunlight resources and increase the diversification in flowering plants.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Gianoli|first=Ernesto|date=2004-10-07|title=Evolution of a climbing habit promotes diversification in flowering plants|journal=Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences|volume=271|issue=1552|pages=2011–2015|doi=10.1098/rspb.2004.2827|pmc=1691831|pmid=15451690}}</ref> Tendrils are a plant organ that is derived from various morphological structures such as stems, leaves and inflorescences. Even though climbing habits are involved in the [[Angiosperm Phylogeny Group|angiosperms]], [[gymnosperm]]s, and [[fern]]s,<ref>{{Citation|last1=Isnard|first1=Sandrine|title=The evolution of angiosperm lianescence: a perspective from xylem structure-function|date=2015|url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/9781118392409.ch17|work=Ecology of Lianas|pages=221–238|publisher=John Wiley & Sons, Ltd|language=en|doi=10.1002/9781118392409.ch17|isbn=978-1-118-39240-9|access-date=2021-06-05|last2=Feild|first2=Taylor S.|url-access=subscription}}</ref> tendrils are often shown in angiosperms and little in ferns. Based on their molecular basis of tendril development, studies showed that tendrils' helical growth performance is not correlated with ontogenetic origin,<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Sousa-Baena|first1=Mariane S.|last2=Lohmann|first2=Lúcia G.|last3=Hernandes-Lopes|first3=José|last4=Sinha|first4=Neelima R.|date=2018|title=The molecular control of tendril development in angiosperms|journal=New Phytologist|language=en|volume=218|issue=3|pages=944–958|doi=10.1111/nph.15073|pmid=29520789|s2cid=4860319 |issn=1469-8137|doi-access=free|bibcode=2018NewPh.218..944S }}</ref> instead, there are multiple ontogenetic origins. 17 types of tendrils have been identified by their ontogenetic origins and growth pattern, and each type of tendril can be involved more than once within angiosperms. Common fruits and vegetables that have tendrils includes [[watermelon]] (''Citrullus lanatus'')'s derived from modified stem, [[pea]] (''Pisum sativum'')'s derived from modified terminal leaflets and [[Vitis vinifera|common grape vine]] (''Vitis vinifera'')'s is modified from whole inflorescence.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Sousa-Baena|first1=Mariane S.|last2=Sinha|first2=Neelima R.|last3=Hernandes-Lopes|first3=José|last4=Lohmann|first4=Lúcia G.|date=2018|title=Convergent Evolution and the Diverse Ontogenetic Origins of Tendrils in Angiosperms|journal=Frontiers in Plant Science|language=English|volume=9|page=403|doi=10.3389/fpls.2018.00403|pmid=29666627|pmc=5891604|issn=1664-462X|doi-access=free}}</ref>
