The superfamily of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes plays key roles in plant evolution and
metabolic diversification. This review provides a status on the CYP landscape within green …

The “bryophytes” comprise three phyla of plants united by a similar haploid‐dominant life
cycle and unbranched sporophytes bearing one sporangium: the liverworts …

Introduction. Following on from work on the European bryophyte Red List, the taxonomically
and nomenclaturally updated spreadsheets used for that project have been expanded into a …

Premise Bryophytes form a major component of terrestrial plant biomass, structuring
ecological communities in all biomes. Our understanding of the evolutionary history of …

We have counted the currently known, described and accepted number of plant species as
ca 374,000, of which approximately 308,312 are vascular plants, with 295,383 flowering …

Mosses are a highly diverse lineage of land plants, whose diversification, spanning at least
400 million years, remains phylogenetically ambiguous due to the lack of fossils, massive …

Unraveling the macroevolutionary history of bryophytes, which arose soon after the origin of
land plants but exhibit substantially lower species richness than the more recently derived …

Phytochromes are red/far-red photoreceptors that play essential roles in diverse plant
morphogenetic and physiological responses to light. Despite their functional significance …

Background Molecular phylogeny has resolved the liverworts as the earliest-divergent clade
of land plants and mosses as the sister group to hornworts plus tracheophytes, with …

Cryptospores, recovered from Ordovician through Devonian rocks, differ from trilete spores
in possessing distinctive configurations (ie hilate monads, dyads, and permanent tetrads) …
