Some 500 million years ago plant life on land started to flourish and diversify. This transformative event required the ability to resist to earth’s challenges—abilities hard-wired in extant plants today. Some prerequisites for terrestrial life already evolved in streptophyte algae, thus offering building blocks and networks that enabled adaptation to land; during evolution of the … Read more
