Plant Reproduction
AccessScience from McGraw-Hill Education Page 1 of 10 www.accessscience.com Plant reproduction Contributed by: Scott D. Russell Publication year: 2014 The formation of a new plant that is either an exact copy or recombination of the genetic makeup of its parents. There are three types of plant reproduction considered here: (1) vegetative reproduction, in which a vegetative organ forms a clone of the parent; (2) asexual reproduction, in which reproductive components undergo a nonsexual form of production of offspring without genetic rearrangement, also known as apomixis; and (3) sexual reproduction, in which meiosis (reduction division) leads to formation of male and female gametes that combine through syngamy (union of gametes) to produce offspring. See also: PLANT; PLANT PHYSIOLOGY. Vegetative reproduction Unlike animals, plants may be readily stimulated to produce identical copies of themselves through cloning. In animals, only a few cells, which are regarded as stem cells, are capable of generating cell lineages, organs, or new organisms. In contrast, plants generate or produce stem cells from many plant cells of the root, stem, or leaf that are not part of an obvious generative lineage—a characteristic that has been known as totipotency, or the general ability of a single cell to regenerate a whole new plant. This ability to establish new plants from one or more cells is the foundation of plant biotechnology. In biotechnology, a single cell may be used to regenerate new organisms that may or may not genetically differ from the original organism. If it is identical to the parent, it is a clone; however, if this plant has been altered through molecular biology, it is known as a genetically modified organism (GMO). -

Bazzania has the largest species of the family Lepidoziaceae (Marchantiophyta). This genus is abundant in the moist montane forest. Diversity of Bazzania in Java insufficiently reported, especially publications about its diversity in Central Java have never been reported. Therefore this study aimed to explore the diversity of Bazzania in Central Java. Studies of the Bazzania were based on the specimens collected from three mountains in Central Java, i.e. Mt. Lawu, Mt. Ungaran and Mt. Slamet. The observation in the laboratory was done based on the morphological and anatomical feature of the stem, lateral leaf, underleaves (amphigastria) and microphyll. Identification of the species used the existing literature that contains key identification, description or illustration of the Bazzania. Eleven species of Bazzania were identified from Central Java, namely Bazzania calcarata, B. japonica, B. -
Reproductive Morphology
Week 3; Wednesday Announcements: 1st lab quiz TODAY Reproductive Morphology Reproductive morphology - any portion of a plant that is involved with or a direct product of sexual reproduction Example: cones, flowers, fruits, seeds, etc. Basic Plant Life cycle Our view of the importance of gametes in the life cycle is shaped by the animal life cycle in which meiosis (the cell division creating haploid daughter cells with only one set of chromosomes) gives rise directly to sperm and eggs which are one celled and do not live independently. Fertilization (or the fusion of gametes – sperm and egg) occurs inside the animal to recreate the diploid organism (2 sets of chromosomes). Therefore, this life cycle is dominated by the diploid generation. This is NOT necessarily the case among plants! Generalized life cycle -overhead- - alternation of generations – In plants, spores are the result of meiosis. These may grow into a multicellular, independent organism (gametophyte – “gamete-bearer”), which eventually produces sperm and eggs (gametes). These fuse (fertilization) and a zygote is formed which grows into what is known as a sporophyte - “spore-bearer”. (In seed plants, pollination must occur before fertilization! ) This sporophyte produces structures called sporangia in which meiosis occurs and the spores are released. Spores (the product of meiosis) are the first cell of the gametophyte generation. Distinguish Pollination from Fertilization and Spore from Gamete Pollination – the act of transferring pollen from anther or male cone to stigma or female cone; restricted to seed plants. Fertilization – the act of fusion between sperm and egg – must follow pollination in seed plants; fertilization occurs in all sexually reproducing organisms. -

Labile Sex Expression in Plants
Biol. Rev. (1998), 73, pp. 157–180 Printed in the United Kingdom # Cambridge Philosophical Society 157 Labile sex expression in plants HELENA KORPELAINEN Department of Biosciences, Division of Genetics, P.O. Box 56, FIN-00014 University of Helsinki, Finland (Received 27 February 1997; revised 12 September 1997; accepted 30 October 1997) ABSTRACT The range of environmental sex determination and sex changes throughout plant taxa from bryophytes and pteridophytes to spermatophytes is reviewed. Lability in sex expression occurs in many plant taxa but only in homosporous pteridophytes is labile sex the rule. Among angiosperms, labile sex appears to be more common among dioecious and monoecious plants than among hermaphrodites. However, hermaphrodites can control allocation to male and female functions by varying the relative emphasis on pollen and ovules. A majority of plants with labile sex expression are perennials, which indicates that flexibility in sex is more important for species with long life cycles. Environmental stress, caused by less-than-optimal light, nutrition, weather or water conditions, often favours maleness. The extreme lability in the sex expression of homosporous pteridophytes is suggested to be related primarily to the mating systems. Key words: labile sex, adaptation, Bryophyta, Pteridophyta, Spermatophyta. CONTENTS I.

Pteridophytes-Nephrolepis
Characters of Pteridophytes Some of the most important characters of Pteridophytes are as follows: 1. Habit: All Pteridophytes are annual and herbaceous, e.g. Azolla, Selaginella but a few are perennial woody tree fern e.g. Alsophila, Angiopteris. 2. Habitat: They are basically terrestrial plants grow in moist shady cool places. 3. Life Cycle: The life cycle is diplohaplontic which shows heteromorphic type of alternation of generations. 4. The sporophyte is the dominant plant body which differentiated into roots, stem and leaves. i. Roots: Primary root short lived and replaced by adventitious roots. But Psilopsids are rootless plants having rhizoids. ii. Stem: Herbaceous or woody and branched. iii. Leaves: Leaves may be microphyllous (e.g. Lycopodium, Selaginella, and Isoetes) or megaphyllous. (e.g. ferns). The leaves bearing sporangia are called sporophylls. In some cases sporophylls for compact structures called cones or strobili (e.g. Selaginella, Equisetum) 5. Vascular tissues present throughout the sporophyte except in reproductive parts and in gametophyte. Xylem consists of tracheid’s (vessels and fibers absent). Phloem consists of sieve cells only. Stele: 6. Secondary Growth absent except in Isoetes. 7. The sporophyte produces meiosopres inside sporangia. The development of sporangia may be eusporangiate (from a group of cells, e.g. Selaginella, Equisetum, Ophioglossiim etc.) or leptosporangiate (form a single cell, e.g, Azolla, Marsilea, Pterium etc.) 8. The sporophyte may be homosporous (e g. Dryopteris) or heterosporous (e.g. Selaginella, Marsilea, Azolla etc.) In heterosporous forms, 2 types of spores develop i.e. microspores and megaspores. 9. The spore germinates into an inconspicuous, free-living, photosynthetic thalIoid gametophyte called prothallus. -

Some Plant Basics
Some Plant Basics Introduction to plant physiology and reproduction Plant Kingdom Plant Ecology • The forest floor is often blanketed with decaying leaves, twigs, fallen trees, animal scat, moss, and other detritus. The forest floor is where recycling occurs, fungi, insects, bacteria, and earthworms are among the many organisms that break down waste materials and ready them for reuse and recycling throughout the forest system. • The herb layer of the forest is dominated by herbaceous (or soft-stemmed) plants such as grasses, ferns, wildflowers, and other ground cover. Vegetation in the herb layer often gets little light and in forests with thick canopies, shade tolerant species are predominant in the herb layer. • The shrub layer is characterized by woody vegetation that grows relatively close to the ground. Bushes and brambles grown where enough light passes through the canopy to support shrub growth. • The understory of a forest consists of immature trees and small trees that are shorter than the main canopy level of the tree. Understory trees provide shelter for a wide range of animals. When gaps form in the canopy, often times understory trees take advantage of the opening and grow to fill in the canopy. • The canopy is the layer where the crowns of most of the forest's trees meet and form a thick layer. • Emergents are trees whose crowns emerge above the rest of the canopy.
