Phylogenomic insights into plant terrestrialization: from streptophyte algae to the rise of land plants.

The conquest of land by plants stands as a landmark event in the evolutionary history of Earth. Recent advances in phylogenomics, particularly the rapid accumulation of omics data on streptophyte algae and early-diverging land plants (including bryophytes, lycophytes and ferns), have opened new avenues for revisiting t...
