Research uncovers the genetic foundations that helped plants conquer land over 600 million years ago. The Science By studying the genes of land plants’ closest algal relative,  Zygnematophyceae , scientists have enhanced our understanding of how early plants transitioned from water to land. Key gene groups …

… acid metabolism, or CAM — that’s C-A-M, for short — helps plants that have it lose less water in a hot, dry environment. Figuring out how plants evolved to deal with hot and dry conditions could help us to one day develop plants that are more drought-tolerant. These kinds of …
