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 reproduction in basillariophyta. This will also help you to draw the structure and diagram of reproduction in bacillariophyta. Diatom cells multiply usually by a peculiar method of cell division. An increase in the volume of the frustule results in a slight separation of the valves which is followed by mitotic division of [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Features of Bacillariophyta 2. Classification of Bacillariophyta 3. Relationship 4. Phylogeny. Features of Bacillariophyta: The Bacillariophyta, commonly known as the diatoms, are ubiquitous algae of both fresh- and salt-water and of damp places including aerial habitats as, old walls, rocky cliffs, bark of trees, and damp soils. Some are submerged in water [...]
