Into the deep: New discoveries at the base of the green plant phylogeny
@article{Leliaert2011IntoTD, title={Into the deep: New discoveries at the base of the green plant phylogeny}, author={F. Leliaert and H. Verbruggen and F. Zechman}, journal={BioEssays}, year={2011}, volume={33} }
Recent data have provided evidence for an unrecognised ancient lineage of green plants that persists in marine deep‐water environments. The green plants are a major group of photosynthetic eukaryotes that have played a prominent role in the global ecosystem for millions of years. A schism early in their evolution gave rise to two major lineages, one of which diversified in the world's oceans and gave rise to a large diversity of marine and freshwater green algae (Chlorophyta) while the other… CONTINUE READING
