Highly developed seed plants evolved deep root systems that are able to sense Earth's gravity. The 'how and when' of this evolutionary step has, until now, remained unknown. Plant biologists have identified crucial components and processes which only developed in seed plants around 350 million years ago to enable fast and efficient gravity-driven root growth.
