		Moreover, sequence information from green algal groups that are sister to the land plants, the Charales and Coleochaetales, may help illuminate the evolutionary process that led to the transition of plants onto land.

	Charales \| English \| Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
		The Charales are an order of green alga-like plants believed to be the closest relatives of the green land plants.
		Its antheridia and oogonia are protected by a layer of sterile cells when mature; the oogonium is oblong in shape and consists of a single egg, while the spherical antheridium is packed with threadlike cells that produce sperm.
		As a result, the Charales have the most complex structure of all green algae, if indeed they should be so labelled.

	Researchers Find Closest Living Relative of First Land Plants \| SpaceRef - Your Space Reference
		In a study published in the Dec. 14 issue of the journal Science, Maryland scientist Charles Delwiche and doctoral student Kenneth Karol confirm that the closest living relative of the first land plants is a group of green algae called the Charales, which survives today in fresh water around the world.
		Although both the Charales and land plants can be traced back in the fossil record over a period of more than 400 million years, their common ancestor has been extinct for even longer and hasn't been identified in the fossil record.
		Scientists have thought that Charales and another group of algae called the Coleochaetales were almost equal cousins of the first land plants.

	Karol, Kenneth G.*, Richard M. McCourt, and Charles F. Delwiche.
		A recent multi-gene phylogenetic analysis has identified the Charales as the closest living relatives of land plants with the Coleochaetales sister to the Charales/land plant lineage.
		Several problems are inherent in estimating divergence times using DNA sequence data; these include the assumption of a molecular clock and choosing from a sparse fossil record for an external calibration date.
		These six calibration points, identified from a closely related lineage of land plants, can be used in conjunction with a multi-gene DNA data set to estimate the time that the land plant and Charales lineages diverged from their common ancestor.

	Phylogenetic Analyses of Nitella Subgenus Tieffallenia (Charales, Charophyceae) Using Nuclear Ribosomal DNA Internal ... (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Nitella C. Agardh (Charales) is characterized by having once or repeatedly forked hranchlets composed of unicellular segments and a one or more-celled terminal segment (called a 'dactyl'), two tiers of coronal cells in the female reproductive organ, and laterally compressed oospores (Wood 1965); around 200 taxa have been described worldwide (Wood 1965).
		In Wood's (1965) worldwide monograph of the Charales, the genus Nitella is divided into three subgenera, Nitella; Hyella R.D. Wood, and laquo; R.D. Wood, based on the differences in the number of cells forming a dactyl and the shapes of the end cells (Wood 1962, 1965).

	Charales
		The green algae in the order Charales are commonly called stoneworts or brittleworts.
		These algae are common in quiet freshwater habitats such as ponds and streams; a few are found in brackish water.
		The Charales are the only living stoneworts; two orders of extinct algae closely related to the Charales are known only from fossils of their reproductive spores.

		The thallus of the plant consists of a series of so-called "giant cells" up to several cm in length, with branches coming off at nodes composed of smaller cells.
