The evolution of land plants: a perspective from horizontal gene transfer

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
Recent studies suggest that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) played a significant role in the evolution of eukaryotic lineages. We here review the mechanisms of HGT in plants and the importance of HGT in land plant evolution.
