## Background The terrestrial habitat was colonized by the ancestors of modern land plants about 500 to 470 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 paraphylet
Ion-gradient-coupled transport systems in plants are normally electrophoretic and carry inward current. Rapid inward electrical currents elicited by K +, by urea and by lysine in the freshwater acidophilic alga Nitella translucens Agh. are all very strongly dependent on the presence ofNa + or (excep
