List and briefly describe the major evolutionary events that allowed plants to successfully inhabit land.

Plant adaptations to life on land include the development of many structures — a water-repellent cuticle, stomata to regulate water evaporation, specialized cells to provide rigid support against gravity, specialized structures to collect sunlight, alternation of haploid and diploid generations, sexual organs, a multicellular embryo protected by parental tissue, a vascular transport system, and rhizoids, roots and root hairs essential for the absorption of nutrients and anchoring to the substrate . Regulation of gene expression is essential for the evolution of morphological diversity, including the establishment and perpetuation of developmental programs involved in plant adaptations to life on land [9]. However, our knowledge of the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying morphological diversity and plant adaptation to land remains limited.

HOPE THIS HELPS
