The liverworts are descendants of the earliest land plants. They are characterised by simple forms and genome architectures. Liverwort biology has been a neglected area of plant science, but recent technical advances have accelerated the field, and offer exciting new experimental approaches.
Dr Boris Delahaie, Research Associate Evolution & Development: Department of Plant Sciences
Flowering plants are the most diverse taxonomic group of land plants, with an estimated total of more than 350,000 species on earth. To understand the origins of diversity, scientists are studying the processes that are generating and, then, maintaining this exceptional biological diversity.

But Darwin published his Origin of Species nearly thirty years after his voyages and most of his labours in that time were focused on experimenting with and observing plants at his house in Kent. In fact Darwin was a brilliant and revolutionary botanist, with a particular interest in carnivorous and climbing plants, and in pollination and the evolution of flowers.
