The plant tree of life: an overview and some points of view
Abstract
We provide a brief overview of this special issue on the plant tree of life, describing its history and the general nature of its articles. We then present our estimate for the overall topology and, for land plants, divergence times of the plant tree of life. We discuss several major controversies and unsolved problems in resolving portions of this tree. We conclude with a few thoughts about the prospects for obtaining a comprehensive, robustly resolved, and accurately dated plant tree of life and the importance of such a grand endeavor.

“Either ciliates and oomycetes have been cleansed of their plastid heritage to an extent unthinkable for land plants (Martin et al., 2002) or else the evidence for Chromalveolate monophyly and a single red algal secondary symbiosis is misleading.”

“Resolving the placement of Mesostigma is important to understanding the early evolution of green algae, as well as evolutionary trends in organellar gene content (Lemieux et al., 2000; Turmel et al., 2002b) and photosynthetic pigments (Yoshii et al., 2003).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
