The process of water decomposition by plants is discussed in connection with biosphere evolution. This process consists of two parts: water oxidation and oxygen evolution. The origin of the water oxidation process took place after the synthesis of chlorine-type pigments, the structure of which corresponds to a more oxidized state than the bacteriochlorophyll type. The ability of plants to evolve oxygen is the result of a long evolution process. The capability of decomposing water in the long-wave length spectral region by algae and higher plants, which can be only seen under anaerobic conditions was discovered. This mechanism was suggested to be a reflection of a relict from of plant apparatus having operated under ancient, strictly anaerobic, conditions.
