<< LEEDS Research at the University of Leeds has identified a key gene that assisted the transition of plants from water to the land around 500 million years ago. The ANR gene is required to tolerate 'extreme dehydration' in the moss Physcomitrella patens >>
<< This gene hadn't been identified so far because most research until now has focused on modern flowering plants. Ancient plants such as mosses and green algae are 'time machines' that help us to reveal evolutionary secrets that changed the world >> Dr Andrew Cuming.
