This project investigates the evolutionary transition of land plants from their algal ancestors, focusing on stress response mechanisms. By analyzing the genetic makeup of streptophyte algae, it aims to understand how these organisms adapted to terrestrial environments.
Land plants abound on Earth’s surface.
All of this diversity arose in a singular event.
The algal progenitor of land plants was a streptophyte alga and only recent phylogenomic analyses have specified the particular algal lineage that is most closely related to land plants.
But why did land plants evolve only once?
And what properties did the ancestors of these terrestrial organisms possess that allowed them to conquer land?
Life on land involves rapid and drastic shifts in temperature, light or…
