1 mar 2023 · Here, we examine how new genomes, fossils, phylogenomic, and timescale analyses have revolutionised our understanding of early plant evolution and highlight the challenges that remain.
Evidence of the emergence of embryophyte land plants first occurs in the middle Ordovician (~ 470 million years ago), and by the middle of the Devonian (~ 390 million years ago), many of the features recognised in land plants today were present, including roots and leaves.
Earliest plants. In the strictest sense, the name plant refers to those land plants that form the clade Embryophyta, comprising the bryophytes and vascular plants. However, the clade Viridiplantae or green plants includes some other groups of photosynthetic eukaryotes, including green algae.

4 wrz 1997 · The origin and early evolution of land plants in the mid-Palaeozoic era, between about 480 and 360 million years ago, was an important event in the history of life, with...
10 sty 2018 · Molecular phylogenetic data show that land plants evolved from streptophyte algae most closely related to extant Zygnematophyceae, and one of the principal aims of plant evolutionary biology is to uncover the key features of such algae that enabled this important transition.
Early plant evolution. Plants (Archaeplastida; see Glossary) have transformed our planet, increasing energy input to the biosphere, altering the atmosphere, and forever changed global biogeochemical cy-cles [1–4].
