Study Notes
Key Terms and Concepts
- Seed-bearing plants of today are referred to as angiosperms and gymnosperms.
- The earliest algal mats evolved through endosymbiosis, giving rise to multicellular forms.
Emergence of Plants
- Evidence of the emergence of embryophyte land plants is first found in the mid-Ordovician, approximately 470 million years ago.
- Cyanobacteria and multicellular photosynthetic eukaryotes were present in freshwater communities on land as early as 1 billion years ago.
Plant Evolution Timeline
- Late Devonian marks the existence of complex, multicellular photosynthesizing organisms on land.
- By the late Devonian, free-sporing plants like Archaeopteris possessed vascular tissue that allowed wood production.
Structural Features
- By the middle of the Devonian, land plants exhibited key features such as roots and stems.
Plant Diversity
- The evolution of plants has led to significant complexity from simple unicellular archaeplastids to diverse forms including multicellular marine and freshwater green algae.
