Viridiplantae (literally "green plants") constitute a clade of eukaryotic organisms that comprises approximately 450,000–500,000 species that play important roles in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. They include the green algae, which are primarily aquatic, and the land plants (embryophytes), which emerged from within them.
Oct 23, 2019 · Viridiplantae comprise an estimated 450,000–500,000 species 1, 2, encompass a high level of diversity and evolutionary timescales 3, and have important roles in all terrestrial and most aquatic...
Viridiplantae is the scientific name for the group of photosynthetic eukaryotes that includes green algae and land plants. Learn about the diversity, evolution, biochemistry and ecology of Viridiplantae from various chapters and books on ScienceDirect.
The Viridiplantae comprise two clades—the Chlorophyta and the Streptophyta. The Chlorophyta contain most of the organisms typically referred to as “green algae.” The term “algae” is also used for several other groups of photosynthetic eukaryotes, including diatoms and the red, brown, golden, and yellow-green algae.

Feb 17, 2014 · This article explores the limits and challenges of inferring a comprehensive green plant phylogeny from 360 plastid genome sequences. It recovers well-supported backbone relationships and highlights the effects of different partitioning and character coding strategies.
Viridiplants (Viridiplantae, 'green plants') are the clade which includes the green algae and land plants. In some classification systems they have been called Plantae, by expanding the traditional plant kingdom (Embryophytes) to include the green algae.
