First sentence: Bryophytes are key to understanding the evolution of land plant life, because data from different sources, including cladistic analyses of molecular sequences, converge on the view that bryophyte-like organisms were the first plants on land, emerging more than 450 million years ago (Kenrick &amp; Crane, 1997; Bremer, Humphries, Mishler, &amp; Churchill, 1987).
