Algae have land genes Date: July 12, 2018 Source: University of Würzburg Summary: The genome of the algae species Chara braunii has been decoded. It already contains the first genetic ...

Ancestors of green plants began to colonise the land about 500 million years ago and it is generally accepted that they evolved from streptophyte algae (a group of green, fresh water algae).

500 million years ago, the first plants living in water took to land. The genetic adaptations associated with this transition can already be recognized in the genome of Chara braunii, a species of ...

When it comes to pond issues, most of these problems are algae and pond weeds. There are three main types of algae. The first is microscopic algae (commonly thought of as blue-green algae). It appears ...

Here we report the draft genome of Chara braunii from Charophyceae, and its comparison to land plants, Klebsormidium nitens, and other green algae.

The genome of the algae species Chara braunii has been decoded. It already contains the first genetic characteristics that enabled the water plants' evolutionary transition to land.
