A multidisciplinary view on plant terrestrialization and the evolution of land plants.

This document is a compilation of scientific articles that discuss the emergence of land plants and their impact on the Earth's surface. It focuses on the evolution of multicellular organisms that have adapted to life on land, with a particular emphasis on streptophyte algae as the closest algal relatives to land plants. The articles explore various biochemical, physiological, and morphological characteristics that contribute to plant terrestrialization and their evolutionary history. They also examine the importance of cell wall composition and structure, as well as the role of cell signaling and stress responses in plant adaptation to harsh land conditions. The studies mentioned in the articles investigate topics such as lipid profiles during desiccation, response to salt stress, freezing tolerance, and the evolution of cytochrome P450 enzymes. They highlight the ability of streptophyte algae to adapt to different stressors and the conservation of certain characteristics in land plants and streptophyte algae. The articles also mention the development of genetic tools to further study these mechanisms. Overall, this compilation provides valuable insights into plant biology and evolution for researchers in the field. [Extracted from the article]
