The Origin of Land Plants: A Phylogenomic Perspective

The Origin of Land Plants: A Phylogenomic Perspective

Show other versions (1)

Land plants are a natural group, and Charophyte algae are the closest lineages of land plants and have six morphologically diverged groups. The conjugating green algae (Zygnematales) are now suggested to be the extant sister group to land plants, providing the novel understanding for character evolu...
