The overall aim of the project was to understand how plants reacted to environmental stress and evolved to overcome it. The land plants that we see today evolved from a green algal ancestor around 510 million years ago. Plants had to make significant changes to their cellular, morphological, regulatory and physiological processes during their adaptation to the terrestrial environment from an aquatic environment. The first part of the project was to find out how these changes were reflected on the protein makeup of the early land plants. The gene model sequence data of two early land plants, Physcomitrella patens (moss) …
