This project explores the evolution of root systems in land plants, tracing their development from unicellular structures in early plants to complex systems. It aims to identify genetic mechanisms that control root differentiation and assess their conservation across plant species.
The evolution of the first rooting systems approximately 470 million years ago was a critical event in the history of life on Earth because it allowed the growth of complex multicellular eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms – plants - on the surface of the land.
Rooting systems are important because they facilitate the uptake of every chemical element in the plant body with the exception of carbon.
The root systems of thefirst land plants (liverworts) comprised a mass of unicellular tip-growing f…
