Evolutionary History and Adaptations of Plants and Fungi

Principles of Phylogenetics → Coevolution of Plants and Fungi

This graduate-level path explores the evolutionary history and key adaptations of land plants and fungi, integrating phylogenetic principles, fossil evidence, and ecological interactions. Learners will trace the origins of vascular tissue, seeds, and flowers, and examine the diverse forms and ecological roles of fungi, including mycorrhizal symbioses. The path emphasizes the interdependence of plant and fungal evolution.
