In this article we will discuss about the general features and phylogenetic relationships of phaeophyta. General Features of Phaeophyta: The Phaeophyta or brown algae, in general, are restricted to the sea—the seaweeds, with a few exceptional fresh-water forms (species of Heribaudiella, Sphacelaria, Lithoderma, Pseudobodanella and Pleurocladia lacustris, A. Br.). Usually the marine members are abundant in cold-waters. But warm-water brown [...]
In this article we will discuss about the classification of charales. Family Characeae: The Characeae &re cosmopolitan, occurring in all continents and in many isolated oceanic islands. The plants are aquatic or subaquatic in habit with elaborately developed plant body having rhizoidal prostrate portion and aerial portion differentiated into nodes and internodes. The aerial portion is attached in the soil [...]
In this article we will discuss about the general features and phylogenetic relationships of euglenophyta. General Features of Euglenophyta: The Euglenophyta represent mostly unicellular naked motile individuals which usually occur in fresh-water. Some species form dendroid colony. The thallus possesses a definite nucleus and the grass-green colour is due to the presence of chlorophyll localized in chromatophores. Few species lack [...]
