The mass extinction during the super-greenhouse conditions at the Permian-Triassic transition occurred when average maximum daily temperatures in equatorial regions exceeded 45 deg. C. Most modern plant can not survive these conditions, but lycophytes prospered, perhaps due to their unusual photosynthetic mechanism.

ARFs are plant TFs that respond to changes in #auxin level; study shows that D-clade ARFs, which lack DNA-binding domains and are found in #lycophytes & #bryophytes, are needed for auxin-regulated transcription in the model #moss Physcomitrium #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3Nbe9YD
