Evolutionary Tree of Life | Episode 4 - Plants & Fungi

[@UsefulCharts]

Hi everyone. I'm still recovering from surgery but for now, enjoy this video, which was mostly completed before I ended up in hospital.

[@ClipsOfficalX]

Hope u ❤️‍🩹 get better

[@ethantucker92838]

I wish you a swift recovery Matt :) ❤

[@arthurfilipe7380]

God bless you Matt 💪♥️

[@RyanJones-ew8vm]

Pen is reduction? Had to have it myself mate🙄

[@eddiehancockii]

Hope you're better soon!

[@wahbro3380]

So glad to see you uploading even after your time at the hospital. Stay strong and don't overwork yourself Matt!

The dog showing up at 11:20, with its head cocked, listening, was a nice treat.

[@arbremonde13]

12:17 The Capsicum genus (peppers) isn't linked to anything on the chart

[@one_logic]

yeah peppers evolved independently from all of life on earth, back even before the first prokaryotes. idk, some chemicals came together and boom they made a pepper (just random coincidence ig).

The video also showed a pile of potatoes as an example of fruit at 13:04

hi

[@carsonianthegreat4672]

I really wish these had been split into two full episodes instead of being sidelined as one singular episode. Especially since plants and fungi each much more diverse than animals are.

[@terdragontra8900]

By “more diverse” do you just mean there are more species? Or that the species “vary more”?

[@Sylvicolus]

The animal kingdom has way more species than any other group. Fungi are second. Plants are third.

[@peperoni_pepino]

@@terdragontra8900 Yes to both. You might have noticed how the video didn't even mention bamboo, of which there are some 1400 recorded species. For reference, there are some 6000 recorded mammals. I understand why he gave more focus to species that are closer to humans, but there are a lot of plants out there. Even when staying within the range of human-relevant plants, he could have included the cabbage cultivars (how cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, and quite a few other vegetables are actually all different cultivars of the same species -- so all of them are man-made variations of the same plant. See 'brassica oleracea' on Wikipedia if you want to see a list of all the cultivars). Or he could have talked a little about asexual reproduction in vegetables (as opposed to the sexual reproduction he extensively covered), which is how we get good-tasting bananas (see Wikipedia: vegetative reproduction, root sprouts/basal shoots/suckers). These are just things I can think of off the top of my head. On the other hand, fungi might be a little boring compared to animals, but there are still some 250 000 recorded fungi species in total with many weird ones. Look up the bearded mushroom or the dung cannon mushroom if you want to.

[@moroccannerd35]

As far as I know, we have only documented about 500,000 species of plants and 300,000 species of fungi, but over 1,000,000 animal species (mostly arthropods)

[@jackwolf1397]

You're so greedy ngl

[@PigIA]

Welcome back Matt!

[@Lirleni]

Glad to hear your recovering / doing better. I have enjoyed the series, and all your videos. :). Couple small items I noticed on watching this. When talking about Solanaceae Family / Nightshades, about 12min mark, the circle for the Capcicum Genus (peppers) is not only not even mentioned at all, it is not even CONNECTED to the tree. (Did double check to make sure, and they are Solanaceae... not sure if the actual poster has the connection/line or not? @16:50 when talking about Eurotiomycetes Class, the genus for ringworm/athlete's foot is cut off. Penicillium is visible. The Genus name (Trichophyton) is visible whenyou move on, 17:40, but when you are talking about them, can't see the name...

[@simpleuser0001]

We're glad to have you back! You're not alone in your health battles!

[@Ssarevok]

What's up with the peppers not being connected to anything?

[@yashenumulla4068]

Hey Matt I hope you are doing well or at least better than before. Take care!

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

So glad to see you back, Matt. Sending prayers and good vibes to you in your recovery. Love your videos, but more so....always wishing you good health.

[@SeekingTruth2023]

Hi Matt! Are you doing better now? I am so happy to see the notification for a new video. Not only because of the always cool and educational content, but because I hope, you have recovered a bit? All the best to you! I will now watch your video!

[@newfieocean]

Fungi only getting 5 minutes is a crime against humanity.

[@MakoWoman]

Such is their lot in life 😪

[@danielfiene7770]

*crime against mycology

[@stephenderry9488]

Just be glad he managed to squeeze them in at all - there wasn't mushroom in the timings.

[@FranzBiscuit]

@@stephenderry9488 Exactly. Morel of the story? Before going around saying "he blewit", maybe just think for a moment how much truffle it must have been to fit all of this content into a single 20-minute video!

[@carsonianthegreat4672]

@@FranzBiscuitit should hav been at least 2 videos

[@kat_astrophe4279]

So glad to see you back making videos! I hope your health is improving well

[@Jacko646]

So glad you’re doing better, Dr. Baker! Excellent chart as always

[@ClipsOfficalX]

Hope u get well soon 🔜❤️

[@wellurban]

Really excellent and fascinating as always! I know there are always exceptions to just about any generalisation, but if I were to offer a small quibble, I’d say that contra 13:55, some asterids can get quite large. For instance, species in the genera Brachyglottis and Olearia can grow into trees up to 8m high.

[@DavidTonner]

Thanks!

[@eshixman]

I've only recently discovered this channel & I jumped straight into these Evolutionary Tree of Life episodes, which I found to be wonderfully presented & thoroughly interesting. So interesting in fact that I kept pausing them to take notes! I look forward to binging more vids from this channel soon, so keep up the excellent work Matt & I hope you're back to your more usual health & routine ASAP. Cheers from the UK 👍

[@isaac.raskin]

Look like the Capsicum genus isn't connected to its family in the video, I'm guessing this is fixed in the print though. Wishing you a refuah shlema and soon

[@lukewatson8848]

The chart I bought around a month ago has this same issue! Not too big of a deal though for me.

[@one_logic]

yeah peppers evolved independently from all of life on earth, back even before the first prokaryotes. idk, some chemicals came together and boom they made a pepper (just random coincidence ig).

[@Meerkat000]

Love! Love! Love! Love this Useful chart, I have it up in my office, stoked to have these videos for it!

[@flaviodriatoripararuan1874]

Wow! In addition to the royal and imperial family trees, Matt has a good discussion on plants, insects, etc.

[@ananas_anna]

You're so great at breaking down concepts and explaining them in an easy to understand way. I'd love for you to make a chart and series about world language families and their relations.

[@LeddleZeddle]

Glad you are OK and hope the recovery is going smooth!

[@ThaGamingMisfit]

I'm so happy I saw this video pop up on my feed ! I hope recovery is going well !

[@manuelsanchezdediego5808]

Very happy to see a new video again matt I wish you are doing well I loved you video about your illness you help me a lot with my english (srry for my English)

[@nicholassilverio2227]

God bless you with full recovery and restoration. Your Useful Charts videos are some of the best and most fascinating videos here in You Tube. May you and your family still increase more. Sending thanks from Manila, the Philippines. 🇵🇭✝️🇨🇦

[@Gamepro2112]

We learn so much more than just about plants, I didn’t know that’s where the term asterisk came from. I love this series.

[@BillGreenAZ]

I think you did a great job on this chart, Matt.

[@ChrisNoonetheFirst]

Can you do one on how different dog breeds are related?

[@fruityrazzmatazz9183]

All your hard work is appreciated! Thank you for the knowledge and sharing. Get well soon.

[@NP3GA]

Glad to hear that you're better

[@ruyfernandez]

It's quite euphemistic to say the mushroom is the equivalent of a fruit. Actually, since it contains the equivalent of gametes, i.e. spores, it's more like a gonade, i.e. a sexual organ. Therefore, all the people that see mushooms as penises are technically correct from an evolutionary point of view.

[@stephenderry9488]

That's how you know when your lawn is pleased to see you.

[@Sylvicolus]

Mushroom spores are not equivalent to gametes. Mushroom spores germinate and grow into haploid hyphae that then combine in mating together. There is no equivalent in animals.

[@lhadzyan7300]

Asterids have flowers with fused petals and other flower-parts, and present more bilateraly symethry on the flowers than just only radial/asterid type. Their ovaries develop UNDER the other flower parts. Rosids have usually the opposite with less fussed petals, less bilaterial symetry, and even lacking flowering parts, and their ovaries develop OVER the other flower parts.

[@arincamryn]

I have this chart framed on the wall in my office. I love it!

[@pre-debutera6941]

The peppers aren't connected to the tree for some reason

[@NicholasFadow-o4q]

justice for gnetophytes (theyre not included in his chart ) they should be beside ginkgo

[@NAPOLEONALBERT]

Good to see you back Matt. Hope you have recovered well ❤

I had never really thought too much about roses, but the heraldic roses used by Lancaster/York/Tudor families is totally based on the natural one

[@nathanphillips7787]

I'm surprized that no mention of the differences between different types of fungal reproduction was mentioned.

Very thankful for your healthy return. Could you please make a video on Mythological, Legendary and Historical of Dharmic Religions (Hinduism, Buddhism & Jainism).

[@verminlady]

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet or if it's deliberate but Orchidaceae is labelled twice (5:19)

[@Terny228]

Really enjoyed the video! And the series, and proving that if you put the word sex next to anything, even ferns, my ears perk up, thanks.

[@katringibbins4270]

12:40 anti-climatic.... well thats spelled wrong i think and the pepper not being linked has been mentioned countless times, lol I was a bit confused, that you did not stick to the tree all the time. Sometimes you jumped a bit, like when mentioning the pumpkins for their flowers. And is it correct that the brown algae came before the clorophyll? In the chart is was before, you SAID it evolved after....

[@billyr2904]

Potatoes and tomatoes have similar names because they are cousins.

[@Eva-savv]

Thank you very much 💚🌱!

Where do parasites fit in?? 🤔🧐

Oh, now I understand why the rose in heraldry has five petals. It mimics the shape of the wild rose.

[@jonathanjenkins2187]

Matt God Bless! Prayer your doing much better

[@benstuijts5620]

Great video. I’ve mist the waterplants. Are they not any distinc group?

[@kinglyzard]

@5:10 What about Ginkgos, juniper and yews?

[@shrisheel]

Plants do consume phosphate and nitrates (the CO2 cycle is not enough to sustain life) as they are the building blocks of their DNA and proteins. So like fungi they do absorb these moieties. Where do aquatic plants fit in ? - both marine and fresh water kinds.

[@creounity]

How's your health, mate? Are things finally better now, hopefully?

[@mathieuleader8601]

I find the chicken foot mushroom that tastes like fried chicken fascinating

[@Jaggerbush]

Hope you're well, Matt.

[@Docmotivate]

Great content

[@kinglyzard]

@3:45 Have you ever cross sectioned a Monocot??

[@eduncdam]

He skips over the weed and heads straight to the mushrooms 🍄, I think Matt’s a Joe Rogan fan.

[@NIKOA53]

Just one tiny correction, unrelated to the science, it's actually "anticlimaCtic", with a C before the T. 12:32

[@KiraiKatsuji]

Finally what took so long. Ohh wait

[@sebastianpirzada2170]

Any coupons ? Im bout to buy the whole store lol

[@Logan_Bishop_YT]

Yay! You didn't die! My prayers worked! Glory to God! I really hope you feel better some time soon, Matt.

[@onedaysoon5351]

Yeah, because your prayers and not the medical expertise of Matt's doctors are what helped

[@SayakRanjanBera]

You forgot about one important plant family that is a primitive angiosperm still around to this day, which is waterlilies.

[@Micgoom]

Is there truly a visible difference between male and female willow trees? Because the drawings you show seem identical to me.

[@SoulDelSol]

What did the guy say who bumped into the underside of a fern? Sori

[@hamentaschen]

Wow. The gravity point is center for flyings. A jet wings on high golden meltings. One time only please.
