  • Plant Reproduction | Topic Notes
    Plant Reproduction | Topic Notes Sexual reproduction is the fusion of male and female gametes to produce a diploid zygote. (The new individual is genetically different from both parents). Advantages include genetic variation, reduced competition (between parent & offspring) and good chance of surviving harsh winter. A disadvantage is that there’s a long period of growth required. Structure of flowering plant: Megaspore (egg) formation & microspore (pollen) formation: The carpel (female part of the flower) is composed of the stigma (sticky to trap pollen grains), style (supports stigma in best position to trap pollen grains) and ovary (contains 1 or more ovules which following fertilisation will develop into seeds). The stamen (male part of the flower) is composed of the anther (produces pollen grains) and filament (supports anther in best position to transport pollen grains). Sepals support the developing flower before it blooms. Petals may be bright coloured in insect pollinated plants (to attract them). The receptacle is the organ from which the flower develops and functions in supporting it. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a flower of the same species. It may be: 1. Self-pollination: the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma in the same plant. 2. Cross-pollination: the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a different plant but of the same species. 1 Plant Reproduction | Topic Notes Fertilisation is the union of a haploid male gamete with a haploid female gamete, to produce a diploid zygote. Once a pollen grain has landed on the stigma, the tube nucleus moves down through the stigma and style forming a pollen tube and enters the ovule at the micropyle, guided towards the egg by chemotropism, the tube nucleus then degenerates.

  • Lesson 6: Plant Reproduction
    LESSON 6: PLANT REPRODUCTION LEVEL ONE Like every living thing on earth, plants need to make more of themselves. Biological structures wear out over time and need to be replaced with new ones. We’ve already looked at how non-vascular plants reproduce (mosses and liverworts) so now it’s time to look at vascular plants. If you look back at the chart on page 17, you will see that vascular plants are divided into two main categories: plants that produce seeds and plants that don’t produce seeds. The vascular plants that do not make seeds are basically the ferns. There are a few other smaller categories such as “horse tails” and club mosses, but if you just remember the ferns, that’s fine. So let’s take a look at how ferns make more ferns. The leaves of ferns are called fronds, and brand new leaves that have not yet totally uncoiled are called fiddleheads because they look like the scroll-shaped end of a violin. Technically, the entire frond is a leaf. What looks like a stem is actually the fern’s equivalent of a petiole. (Botanists call it a stipe.) The stem of a fern plant runs under the ground and is called a rhizome. Ferns also have roots, like all other vascular plants. The roots grow out from the bottom of the rhizome. Ferns produce spores, just like mosses do. At certain times of the year, the backside of some fern fronds will be covered with little dots called sori. Sori is the plural form, meaning more than one of them.

  • 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).

Published and copyrighted by: National Research Council of Canada, http://www.nrc.ca/cisti/journals/ Ovule, embryo sac, embryo and endosperm development in leafy spurge (Euphorbia 1 esula L.) JEFFREY S. CARMICHAEL* and SARENA M. SELBO Department of Biology, University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, ND 58202, Phone: (701) 777-4666, Fax: (701) 777- 2623, *Author for correspondence, e-mail: [email protected]. Abstract: Leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula) is a noxious, invasive weed that domi- nates many agriculturally important regions. While many research efforts are currently aimed at controlling the spread of this plant, relatively little is known about its sexual reproductive biology, especially from a struc- tural perspective. This report describes key features of ovule development, embryogenesis, and endosperm formation in leafy spurge. Ovules are ana- tropous, bitegmic, and form a zigzag micropyle. A distinct elaisome (ca- runcle) and hypostase are formed as ovules mature. Obturators are present and are derived from placental tissue. The embryo sac conforms to the Po- lygonum type. A single embryo is formed in each seed and stores nutrients primarily as globoid protein bodies. Endosperm is persistent and also con- tains protein bodies as its primary nutrient reserve. Preliminary structural evidence is presented that indicates the potential for apomixis. Keywords: Leafy spurge, Euphorbiaceae, Euphorbia, ovule, endosperm, embryo. Introduction Leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.) is an herbaceous perennial that has flourished as a noxious weed of economic and ecological significance (Lajeunesse et al. 1995; Lym and Messersmith 1983; Messersmith 1983; Messersmith and Lym 1983a, b).

An individual plant can live for a thousand years, and the seeds can remain viable for as long as 1,300 years. Researchers have found that the sacred lotus has the ability to regulate the temperature of its flowers. As the air temperature cools, the flower maintains a steady temperature and emits a fragrant scent. 1. What function do you think a flower that stays warm at night might have for a plant?
