Fossils show that plants colonized land more that 470 million years ago.
- 26.2
Fungi played an essential role in the colonization of land.
- All fungi are heterotrophic.
- 26.3
Early land plants radiated into a diverse set of lineages.
- The closest relative to plants is the charophyte algae, which is similar except for its absence of an alteration of generations, like the plants do. 
- In the cycle of plant life with alteration of generations, there are sporophytes which are the asexual and diploid phase.
- Animals are considered to be the closest relative to fungi. 
- 26.4
Seeds and pollen grains are key adaptions for life on land.
- Conditions such as having a large surface area and access to many nutrients are a key factor in fungal mycelia having adaptive advantages related to their filamentous nature. 
- 26.5
Land Plants and Fungi fundamentally changed chemical cycling and biotic interactions.]]> 2017-02-28 14:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/onkxj6k0x616/wish/156711567 ec18167 https://padlet.com/lisle202/onkxj6k0x616/wish/156711650 2017-02-28 14:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/onkxj6k0x616/wish/156711650 vs18108 https://padlet.com/lisle202/onkxj6k0x616/wish/156711949 2017-02-28 14:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/onkxj6k0x616/wish/156711949 ec18167 https://padlet.com/lisle202/onkxj6k0x616/wish/157697750 1.) AM fungi appear to affect D. lanuginosum plants grown at high temperature by increasing their mean root diameter and dry weight of shoots, but decreasing their total root length.
2.) D. lanuginosum plants do not grow equally well when the soil is inoculated with thermal and nonthermal AM fungi.  They grow better when inoculated with nonthermal AM fungi. This suggests that the AM fungi from geothermal and grassland soils have a higher thermal tolerance than D. lanuginosum since they are used to assist D. lanuginosum plants in growing in hot environments. 
3.) Average Hyphal length (m/g):
 25 degrees Celsius: 1.3
35 degrees Celsius: 0.4
Average Root Length (cm/g):
25 degrees Celsius: 8
35 degrees Celsius: 0
4.) The graph suggests that the D. lanuginosum roots and fungal hyphae have a rather low relative heat tolerance, because they grow best at about 20 degrees celsius and decrease in size if the temperature goes up. This explains the differences in growth of D. lanuginosum plants grown in soils with and without AM fungi, because the AM fungi helps plants grow in high-temperature soils. The plants without the AM fungi did not grow as much as the plants with the AM fungi, because they were not getting assistance since they struggle to grow as much in high temperatures. ]]> 2017-03-03 18:10:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/onkxj6k0x616/wish/157697750 ap18016 https://padlet.com/lisle202/onkxj6k0x616/wish/157759349 2017-03-04 04:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/onkxj6k0x616/wish/157759349 ap18016 https://padlet.com/lisle202/onkxj6k0x616/wish/157759555 2017-03-04 04:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/onkxj6k0x616/wish/157759555 ap18016 https://padlet.com/lisle202/onkxj6k0x616/wish/157759630
