Abstract

The beginning of life has been wondered by human
beings since ancient ages. The widely accepted opinion is that life began in
water and after that landed. In this process, the landing of plants and
adapting to terrestrial life of plants are important stages. The last 20 years
it’s been done many researches to find out the relationship of bryophytes and
tracheophytes. The results of these researches revealed that in evolutionary
development process bryophytes and tracheophytes are sister groups. Thesis
about earliest land plants are bryophytes is widely accepted recent years. To understand
evolutionary process and plants of today’s better, researches about bryophytes
must increase.

Karasal Yaşamın Başlangıcında Briyofitler

Abstract

Yaşamın nasıl
başladığı insanoğlu tarafından antik çağlardan beri merak edilmiştir. Günümüzde
bu konuda yaygın olarak kabul gören görüş yaşamın suda başladığı ve daha
sonraki aşamalarda sudan karaya geçtiğidir. Bu süreçte bitkilerin karaya çıkışı
ve karasal yaşama adaptasyonu önemli bir aşamayı oluşturmaktadır. Son 20 yıldır
briyofitler ile trakeofitler arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymak amacıyla birçok
araştırma yapılmıştır. Yapılan bu araştırmaların neticesinde briyofitlerin
evrimsel gelişim sürecinde trakeofitler ile kardeş gruplar olduğu sonucu ortaya
çıkmıştır. Ayrıca, briyofitlerin en erken karasal yaşama adapte olan bitkiler
olduğu tezi son yıllarda oldukça geniş bir çevrede kabul görmektedir. Evrimsel
sürecin daha iyi anlaşılması ve günümüz bitkilerinin daha iyi tanınması
amacıyla briyofitler üzerine çalışmaların detaylandırılarak arttırılması
gerekmektedir.
