Hail to the hornworts: New plant family tree sheds light on evolution of life cycles
In the history of life on earth, one intriguing mystery is how plants made the transition from water to land and then went on to diversify into the array of vegetation we see today, from simple mosses and liverworts to towering redwoods.
A research team led by evolutionary biologist and professor Yin-Long Qiu has new findings that help resolve long-debated questions about the origin and evolution of land plants.
The work was published online the week of October 4, 2006, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
