As it develops from a single-celled zygote to a mature plant embryo, the thale cress Arabidopsis thaliana passes through a stage during which phylogenetically very ancient genes are preferentially expressed. This corroborates recent work on animals demonstrating a similar period of embryogenesis that coincides with what nineteenth-century zoologists recognized as a phase in development — at least in vertebrates — in which embryos of all species looked very similar. It seems that animals and plants have independently converged on a similar way of managing gene expression as they transform from a single-celled zygote to a multicellular organism, even though their morphological development is very different.
