Cover Image: Snow and pendant cones on spruce tree (reproduced with permission of Photos.com). Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Foreword When it comes to reproduction, gymnosperms are deeply weird. Cycads and coni- fers have drawn out reproduction: at least 13 genera take over a year from pollina- tion to fertilization. Since they don’t apparently have any selection mechanism by which to discriminate among pollen tubes prior to fertilization, it is natural to won- der why such a delay in reproduction is necessary. Claire Williams’ book celebrates such oddities of conifer reproduction. She has written a book that turns the context of many of these reproductive quirks into deeper questions concerning evolution. The origins of some of these questions can be traced back Wilhelm Hofmeister’s 1851 book, which detailed the revolutionary idea of alternation of generations.

  • Heterospory and Seed Habit Heterospory in Pteridophytes: Most of the Pteridophytes Produce One Kind of Similar Spore
    Heterospory and Seed Habit Heterospory in Pteridophytes: Most of the Pteridophytes produce one kind of similar spore. Such Peridophytes are known as homosporous and this phenomenon is known as homospory. However, there are some Pteridophytes which produce two different types of spores (differing in size, structure and function). Such Pteridophytes are known as heterosporous and the phenomenon is known as heterospory. The two types of spores are microspores and megaspores. Microspores are smaller in size and develop into the male gametophyte while the megaspores are large and develop into female gametophyte. According to Rashid (1976) only 9 genera of Pteridophytes are heterosporous. These are Selaginella, Isoetes, Stylites, Marsilea, Pilularia, Regnellidium, Salvinia, Azoll and Platyzoma. Origin of Heterospory: The origin of heterospory can be better discussed on the basis of evidences from paleobotany, developmental and experimental studies. 1. Palaeobotanical evidences: It has been suggested that heterospory arose due to degeneration of some spores in a few sporangia. As more nutrition becomes available to less number of spores, the surviving spore grow better, hence increase in their size. Palaeobotanical evidences show that the earlier vascular plants wert all homosporous and the heterosporous condition appeared subsequently in the lowermost upper Devonian. Anumber of heterosporous genera belonging to the Lycopsida, Sphenopsida and Pteropsia were known in the late Devonian and early Carboniferous periods. During this period important heterosporous genera were Lepidocarpon, Lepidostrobus, Mazocarpon, Plaeuromeia, Sigillariostrobiis (members of Lycopsid) Calamocarpon, Calamostachys, Palaeostachys (members of Sphenosida). Some of these forms even arrived at the seed stage. According to Williamson and Scot (1894) two species of Calamostachys form the initial stage that might lead to the heterospory.

The spores differ in size, structure and function. The smaller one is known as microspore and larger one is known as megaspore. Such Pteridophytes are known as heterosporous and the phenomenon is known as heterospory. Most of the Pteridophytes produce one kind of similar spores, Such Peridophytes are known as homosporous and this phenomenon is known as homospory. The sporangia show greater specialization. They are differentiated into micro and megasporangia. The microsporangia contaion microspores whereas megasporangia contain megaspores. The production of two types of sproes with different sexuality was first evolved in pteridophytes. Even though, the condition of heterospory is now represented only by eight living species of pteridophytes, they are Selaginella, Isoetes, Marsilea, Salvinia, Azolla, Regnellidium, Pilularia and Stylites. Origin of heterospory The fossil and developmental studies explain about the origin of heterospory. A number of fossil records proved that heterospory existed in many genera of Lycopsida, Sphenopsida and Pteropsida. They are very common in late Devonian and early Carboniferous periods. During this period the important heterosporous Licopsids genera were Lepidocarpon, Lepidodemdron, Lipidostrobus, Pleoromea, Sigilariosrobus etc.

Be sure to understand when mitosis and meiosis are occurring, and what their products are. • Be able to identify antheridia and archegonia and know what they produce. • Understand the difference between homospory and heterospory • Understand the selective advantages of seeds, fruits and flowers. • Know the anatomy of flowers and the different types of flowers. • Know how fruit is formed and what the major types of fruit are. • Understand what endosperm is and how it is formed. • Know the differences between monocots and “dicots” in terms of floral and seed structure. Plant Reproduction As you work through this lab you should place the characters/events listed to the right of the phylogeny given bellow in the correct positions on the tree. Plants II - Reproduction 2 1) Alternation of Generations w/a multicellular sporophyte that is dependent on Gametophyte resources 2) Spores 3) Sporophyte becomes independent of gametophyte 4) Seeds 5) Endosperm 6) Flowers & Fruits Multicellular Sporophyte: Many algae have what is termed alternation of generations . That is they alternate between a haploid (N) stage called the gametophyte (this is the stage that produces gametes) and a diploid (2N) stage called the sporophyte . Plants are often referred to as embryophytes because the multicellular sporophyte is dependent on resources from the gametophyte.

HETEROSPORY 4. OVULES 5. POLLEN Advantages of Seeds A seed is a sporophyte embryo surrounded by nutrients packaged in a protective seed coat which provides the following advantages for the embryo: • the fruit surrounding the seed can facilitate its dispersal over long distances • the embryo can survive for years in a dormant state until conditions are favorable for germination Fireweed seed • nutrients to sustain the embryo during early growth Advantages of Reduced Gametophytes Seed plants have microscopic gametophytes that are fully contained within the sporangium of the sporophyte. This provides the following advantages: • the reproductive tissues of the sporangium protect the gametophyte from environmental stresses (e.g., UV exposure, loss of moisture, extreme temperature) • the sporophyte can provide nourishment to sustain the gametophyte PLANT GROUP Ferns and Mosses and other other seedless Seed plants (gymnosperms and angiosperms) nonvascular plants vascular plants Reduced, Independent Reduced (usually microscopic), dependent on Gametophyte Dominant (photosynthetic surrounding sporophyte tissue for nutrition and

  • Heterospory and Seed Habit Heterospory
    HETEROSPORY AND SEED HABIT HETEROSPORY • The phenomenon where two types of spores differing in size, structure and function are formed on the same plant is known as heterospory. • The smaller spores are called microspores and the larger spores are known as megaspores. • Heterospory has not evolved in living forms but was also present in fossil plants, and • It originated due to disintegration of some spores in a sporangium IMPORTANCE OF HETEROSPORY • Heterospory expresses sex determining capability of the plant e.g. a microspore always gives rise to male gametophyte and a megaspore to female gametophyte. • In heterosporous forms development of gametophyte is endosporic and the nutrition for the developing gametophyte is derived from the sporophyte. So the development of gametophyte is not affected by ecological factors as in case of independently growing gametophytes. • Megaspore is retained by the parent even after fertilization. This ensures nutrition for the developing embryo, • SEED HABIT • The requirements for the formation seed are as follows- • Formation of two types of spores microspores and megaspores (heterospory) • Reduction in the number of functional megaspores to one per megasporangium. • Retention of megaspore in the megasporangium until embryo development. • Elaboration of the apical part of megasporangium to receive microspores or pollen grains. • In Selaginella, the most common genus of the heterosporous pteridophytes, provides the best examples. Most of the species of Selaginella are heterosporous and they have only one functional megaspore mother cell which gives rise to 4 megaspores after meiosis. Only a single functional megaspore in a sporangium is present in Selaginella rupestris, S. monospora and S. erythropus.

  • Laboratory 2: Reproductive Morphology
    IB 168 (Plant Systematics) Laboratory 2: Reproductive Morphology A Review of the Plant Life Cycle All plants have a very characteristic life cycle composed of two distinct phases or generations: a haploid (1N) gametophyte generation and a diploid (2N) sporophyte generation. The gametophyte generation produces gametes (by mitosis) which fuse in the process of fertilization to produce a diploid sporophyte. The sporophyte, in turn, produces haploid spores (by meiosis) which gives rise to new gametophytes. Because the two generations alternate with one another, this kind of life cycle is often referred to as alternation of generations (see FIGURE 1). Some plants are homosporous, in that they produce only one type of spore, which gives rise to a bisexual gametophyte upon germination. Most plants, however, produce two morphologically different types of spores and are thus heterosporous. The larger of these spores is termed the megaspore and the smaller one the microspore. Upon germination megaspores will give rise to female gametophytes (megagametophytes) and microspores will germinate to form male gametophytes (microgametophytes). One important consequence of heterospory is that gametophytes are now rendered unisexual. Heterospory has evolved at least four times in the history of plants, yet, although it is regarded as a key evolutionary step, the advantages (if any) of heterospory have proven difficult to assess. Sporophyte DIPLOID (2N) Fertilization Meiosis HAPLOID (1N) gametes spores Gametophyte FIGURE 1: Generalized plant life cycle. Note that the spores are haploid because they are the products of meiosis. These spores germinate to form a haploid gametophyte. The gametophyte then produces gametes (eggs or sperm) by mitosis.
