Vitrophyta are one of the main clades of photosynthesizing organisms on Miavegr, complex multicellular lifeforms evolved inside of this group. A group of Vitrophyta, the Strigophyta, has achieved a mutual symbiosis with some Phlebata these organisms where the first to successfully colonize the terrestrial environment.
Evolution
Vitrophyta evolved around 1.4 Ga ago from heterotrophic eudiktyan ancestors. These ancestral Silicomea cells absorbed a smallerAnthrachroma cell. This process of endosymbiosis resulted in the course of millions of years in the formation of a new organelle in the Vitrophyta cells : the melanoplast.
In the following hundred of millions of years Vitrophyta became one of the main autotroph clades in Miavegr. Around 700 Ga BP the ancestor of the Strigophyta, which formed already multicellular colonies in shallow waters, entered an obligatory symbiosis with a group of Episcleria, the Phlebata, which helped them conquer land for the first time. The Phlebata were saprophagic organisms, that made filaments (like fungi). In the symbiosis it rooted the holobiont and transported nutrients and water to the Strigophyta. This second organism, fed the Phlebata with sugars made from photosynthesis. These organisms expanded and diversified over all land forming large colonies. Strigophyta evolved complex tissue diversification together with the Phlebata.
By 450 Ga BP, the Strigophyta formed dense forest over most of emerged lands and they continued to be dominant until .....
