Abstract

The genome sequence of a lycophyte hints at ancient evolutionary transitions. Vascular plants appeared ~410 million years ago, then diverged into several lineages of which only two survive: the euphyllophytes (ferns and seed plants) and the lycophytes. We report here the genome sequence of the lycop...
