abstract = {The terrestrial habitat was colonized by the ancestors of modern land plants about 470 to 450 million years ago. Today it is widely accepted that land plants (embryophytes) evolved from streptophyte algae, also referred to as charophycean algae. The streptophyte algae are a paraphyletic group of green algae, ranging from unicellular flagellates to morphologically complex forms such as stoneworts (Charales). The latter are often considered to be the sister group of the embryophytes. For a better understanding of the evolution of land plants, it is of prime importance to identify the streptophyte algae that are sister-group to the embryophytes. However, despite many years of phylogenetic studies this question has not been resolved and remains controversial.}
