Plant Evolution involves the study of the evolution of plant species over a long period of time. Scientists look at fossils, forensic prints, physical and genetic similarities among species to study the evolutionary phenomena. Plants show several adaptations that help them to cope with their present environment. Plant evolution usually explains how the present species diversity arose over a geological period of time. It also deals with genetic changes and consequent variation that usually ends in speciation.
