<i>YABBY</i> Genes in the Development and Evolution of Land Plants by Marina A. Romanova, Anastasiia I. Maksimova, Katharina Pawlowski, Olga V. Voitsekhovskaja

“…The key transcription factors responsible for leaf blade development in angiosperms are YABBY proteins, which until recently were thought to be unique for seed plants. Yet, identification of a YABBY homologue in a green alga and the recent findings of YABBY homologues in lycophytes and hornworts suggest that YABBY proteins were already present in the last common ancestor of land plants. …”
