progymnosperm การใช้
- Noeggerathiales have been previously linked to horsetails and ferns, but are currently believed to be progymnosperms.
- These were joined by progymnosperms, which rooted up to about a metre deep, during the ensuing Frasnian stage.
- Rothwell's analysis separates the " trimerophytes " and progymnosperms, with only the latter being closely related to seed plants.
- In Late Devonian times, another group of progymnosperms gave rise to the first really large trees known as " Archaeopteris ".
- They probably evolved from a group of Late Devonian progymnosperms known as the Aneurophytales, which had large, compound frond-like leaves.
- These early seed plants ranged from trees to small, rambling shrubs; like most early progymnosperms, they were woody plants with fern-like foliage.
- It is grouped with " Pertica ", traditionally classified as a " trimerophyte " rather than a progymnosperm like " Tetraxylopteris ".
- The oldest fossil evidence of seed plants is of Late Devonian age, and they appear to have evolved out of an earlier group known as the progymnosperms.
- As taller and more complex plants evolved, modifications in the alternation of generations evolved; in the Paleozoic era progymnosperms reproduced by using spores dispersed on the wind.
- This occurred independently in several separate lineages of vascular plants, in progymnosperms like " Archaeopteris ", in Sphenopsida, ferns and later in the gymnosperms and angiosperms.
- The "'progymnosperms "'are an extinct group of woody, spore-bearing plants that is presumed to have evolved from the trimerophytes, and eventually gave rise to the gymnosperms.
- Rothwell's analysis separates " trimerophytes ", like " Pertica ", from progymnosperms, like " Tetraxylopteris ", with only the latter being closely related to seed plants.
