Approximately 500 Ma ago, freshwater algae adapted to live on Earth's surface, subsequently enabling animal life to pursue. Over the last decade, genomes of non-seed plants enabled us to infer trait evolution of early land plants. In this issue of Cell, Jiao et al. uncovered another genome, of the streptophyte algae Penium, enhancing our understanding of the water-to-land transition.
大约 5 亿年前，淡水藻类适应了在地球表面生活，随后使动物生命得以繁衍。在过去的十年中，非种子植物的基因组使我们能够推断早期陆地植物的特征进化。在本期《细胞》杂志上，焦等人揭示了另一种绿藻纲植物 Penium 的基因组，这增加了我们对从水生到陆生的过渡的理解。
