Draparnaldia erecta in a Petri dish. At first glance, the alga resembles moss.
Draparnaldia erecta (alga). There has so far been no model organism among chlorophytes that both resembles early land plants morphologically and has adaptations to live on land. Draparnaldia is closing this gap. “Draparnaldia is unique, as it is the only chlorophyte that has developed morphological complexity comparable to that of early land plants. It has a branched apical cellular system resembling a small land plant and long cells that resemble a root system,” Lenka Caisová describes.
Newly discovered alga, Draparnaldia erecta, could help answer fundamental questions in evolutionary research, such as how plants transitioned from water to land, according to Lenka Caisová from our Biology Center.
