Flowering plants - which appeared abruptly during the late Cretaceous Period - the origins of photosynthesis, and the early evolution of land plants are some of earth's most mysterious breakthroughs. The first seed plants appear in the fossil record about 350 million years ago, and flowering plants first appear approximately 120 million years ago, but the transitions between these major forms of plant life remain obscure. Prior to each breakthrough was a lo 606 $aPlants$xEvolution 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPlants$xEvolution. 676 $a581.3/8 700 $aEssig$b Frederick B.$0943155 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459712303321 996 $aPlant life$92128391 997 $aUNINA
