Charophyta (UK: / k ə ˈ r ɒ f ɪ t ə, ˌ k ær ə ˈ f aɪ t ə /) is a group of freshwater green algae, called charophytes (/ ˈ k ær ə ˌ f aɪ t s /), sometimes treated as a division, [2] yet also as a superdivision [3] or an unranked clade.

2024年10月7日 · What is Charophyta? Charophyta, commonly referred to as charophytes, represents a distinct group of freshwater green algae. This group is sometimes categorized as a division, superdivision, or unranked clade within the broader classification of algae.

2021年7月21日 · Charophyta is a taxonomic group (a phylum) comprised of green algae that live predominantly in freshwater habitats. Members of this phylum (called charophytes) used to be included in the phylum Chlorophyta (chlorophytes).

Charophytes (Streptophyta) represent a diverse assemblage of extant green algae that are the sister lineage to land plants. About 500–600+ million years ago, a charophyte progenitor successfully colonized land and subsequently gave rise to land plants.

2024年5月3日 · Learn about the general characteristics of Charophyta, a fascinating group of green algae.

Charophytes are the group of green algae whose ancestral lineage gave rise to land plants in what resulted in a profoundly transformative event in the natural history of the planet.

Charophyta is a division of freshwater green algae. The terrestrial plants, the Embryophyta emerged within Charophyta, with the class Zygnematophyceae as a sister group. With the cladistic inclusion of the Embryophyta, the Charophyta is synonymous with the Streptophyta..

Charophytes, also known as stoneworts, are commonly found in quiet freshwater habitats such as ponds and streams; a few are found in brackish water (Adl et al., 2005). They include organisms with complex macroscopic thalli made up of a main axis with twisted branches. Calcium carbonate accumulates in cell wall of many species.

Charophyta is a phylum of fresh- or brackish-water plants, often considered as green algae. Today they are represented by only one family, the Characeae. However, because the cell walls of the living plant generally are calcified, the group is very well represented in the fossil record.

Charophytes, also known as stoneworts are large-sized green algae, which can be found in many soft bottom habitats along the entire Finnish coastline. Charophytes are an evolutionary link between simple green algae and more highly specialised plants.
