Importance of Nitrogen Fixation Plants require the element nitrogen in the form of + - ammonium (NH4 ) or nitrate (NO3 ) ions, however they CAN’T “fix” atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into these forms. ATMOSPHERE N2 Amino ammonium & nitrate acids, etc. N2 Nitrogen-fixing ions taken up by roots bacteria NH + H+ 4 Soil + NO – NH3 NH4 3 (nitrate) (ammonium) Nitrifying bacteria Ammonifying bacteria Organic material Root Soil bacteria and some fungi CAN fix nitrogen, thus plants depend on these microbes for useable nitrogen. Monocots vs Dicots Flowering plants are of 2 basic types: Seed Leaves Leaf veins Stems Flowers Roots MONOCOTS One Vascular bundles Floral parts Fibrous cotyledon Main veins usually parallel in complex usually in root system arrangement multiples of three DICOTS Vascular bundles Floral parts arranged in ring usually in Two multiples of Taproot cotyledons Main veins usually branched four or five usually present Monocot vs Dicot Features Cotyledons (embryonic “seed leaves”) • nourish the seedling: monocots have 1, dicots have 2 Roots • dicots have a central taproot, monocots do not Stems • dicots have a vascular structure organized into rings Leaves • monocots have narrow, smooth leaves w/parallel veins • dicots have broader leaves w/branched vein patterns Flowers • monocots – layered flower parts come in groups of 3 • dicots – layered flower parts come in groups of 4 or 5 2. Plant Reproduction & Development Basic Modes of Reproduction Plants reproduce in 2 basic ways: Asexually: • piece of parent plant gives rise to new plant • involves mitotic cell division only • offspring are genetically identical to parent Sexually: • fusion of haploid gametes generates offspring • offspring are genetically unique Life Cycle of Plants (sexual) • fertilization produces a zygote that develops into a diploid sporophyte • haploid spores produced by meiosis in flowers grow into multicellular haploid gametophytes, some cells of which are gametes The Plant Sexual Life Cycle The sexual life cycle of plants is unique, occurring by “Alternation of Generations”: The sporophyte stage (diploid) • the plant is made of diploid cells • produces haploid spores by meiosis in the reproductive structures (e.g., flowers) The gametophyte stage (haploid) • grows from haploid spore (via mitosis) • produces gametes (sperm and/or egg) • fertilization then produces a new diploid sporophyte! Life Cycle in differentspor oPlantphyte (Phyla2n) gametophyte (n) • gametophyte is more prominent in more primitive plant species • in more advanced plant species, the sporophyte is much more prominant The Structure of Flowers reproductive organ of angiosperms …more on Flower Structure Flowers have 4 main parts: Sepals • outermost structure (encloses flower bud) Petals • usually colored, inside sepals Stamen (anther & filament) • male reproductive structure • anthers produce male gametophytes (pollen grains) Carpel (stigma, style & ovary) • female reproductive structure • produces female gametophytes (embryo sacs) Fertilization in Angiosperms • pollen grains adhere to the stigma (pollination) • tube cell in pollen elongates down style to penetrate ovule in ovary • 2 sperm are released to fertilize the egg & fuse with a special diploid cell in ovule Seed Production endosperm = nutrients for plant embryo • zygote develops into embryo, triploid cell forms endosperm • seed coat derived fr. ovule wall encloses embryo, endosperm • fruit develops from ovary wall to aid seed dispersal Seed Dispersal Seeds can be dispersed via fruits by: Water • floating on water (e.g., coconuts) Air • lightweight seeds can be transported by the wind (e.g., dandelion, maple) Animal • edible fruits entice animals to eat them • “hitchhiker” fruits stick to animals Plant Growth Plant growth occurs in 2 basic ways: Terminal bud Primary growth • growth in length of roots & shoots • due to special “stem cell” tissue called Axillary buds apical meristem Secondary growth • growth in width due Arrows = to lateral meristem direction of growth • occurs in “woody” Root tips perennial plants o Apical Leaves Primary (1 ) Growth meristem Vascular cylinder Cortex Root hair Epidermis Zone of maturation 1o Root Growth Zone of elongation Axillary bud × meristems 103 LM 1 o 2 Zone of 1 Shoot cell division Apical Growth meristem region Key Root Dermal tissue system cap Ground tissue system Vascular tissue system Secondary (2o) Growth Due to lateral meristem tissue which consists of: Vascular Cambium (new phloem & xylem) Cork Cambium (cork replaces the epidermis during 2o growth) Year 1 Year 1 Year 2 Early Spring Late Summer Late Summer Key Dermal tissue system Ground tissue system Vascular tissue system Shed epidermis wth wth wth Gro Gro Gro Primary xylem Epidermis Secondary Cork Vascular xylem Cortex Cork Secondary xylem cambium (wood) cambium Bark (2 years’ growth) Primary phloem Secondary phloem Secondary Growth in Woody Plants Vascular cambium produces new phloem & xylem ea yr: • spring & summer growth look diff., producing an annual ring Sapwood Rings Wood rays Heartwood Sapwood Vascular cambium Secondary phloem Heartwood Bark Cork cambium Cork Heartwood Sapwood • old, dead xylem from • new, functioning xylem previous years from most recent 2o growth Key Terms for Chapters 31 & 32 • mesophyll, stomata, phloem, xylem • asexual vs sexual, “alternation of generations” • sporophyte, gametophyte • sepal, petal • stamen – anther & filament (pollen, tube cell) • carpel – stigma, style, ovary (ovule, embryo sac) • monocot, dicot Relevant Review Questions: Ch. 31 – 2-4, 6-11 Ch. 32 – 1, 3.

  • Transpiration
    TRANSPIRATION BY: Dr. Madhu Gupta (Guest Faculty) SOS in Botany Jiwaji University Gwalior What is it? The loss of water in the vapour form from the exposed parts of a plant is called transpiration. The loss of water due to transpiration is quite high. Rather 98-99% of the water absorbed by a plant is lost in transpiration. Hardly 0.2% is used in photosynthesis while the remaining is retained in the plant during growth. Most of the transpiration occurs through foliar surface or surface of the leaves. It is known as foliar transpiration. Foliar transpiration accounts for over 90% of the total transpiration. Transpiration occurs through young or mature stem is called as Cauline transpiration. Depending upon the plant surface, transpiration is classified into three types: Stomatal • Water vapour diffuses out through minute pore (stomata) present in soft aerial part of plant is known Transpiration as Stomatal Transpiration • Sometimes water may evaporate through certain Lenticular other openings present on the older stems. These openings are called Lenticels and the transpiration Transpiration that takes place through term is known as Lenticular Transpiration. • Loss of water may also take place through cuticle, but Cuticular the amount so lost is relatively small • This type of transpiration depends upon the thickness Transpiration of the cuticle and presence or absence of wax coating on the surface of the leaves. Stomatal Transpiration Lenticular Transpiration Cuticular Transpiration Factors Affecting Transpiration: Water Stress: Whenever the rate of transpiration exceeds the rate of absorption, a water deficit is created in the plants and results in the incipient wilting of leaves.

  • 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.

  • 197 Section 9 Sunflower (Helianthus
    SECTION 9 SUNFLOWER (HELIANTHUS ANNUUS L.) 1. Taxonomy of the Genus Helianthus, Natural Habitat and Origins of the Cultivated Sunflower A. Taxonomy of the genus Helianthus The sunflower belongs to the genus Helianthus in the Composite family (Asterales order), which includes species with very diverse morphologies (herbs, shrubs, lianas, etc.). The genus Helianthus belongs to the Heliantheae tribe. This includes approximately 50 species originating in North and Central America. The basis for the botanical classification of the genus Helianthus was proposed by Heiser et al. (1969) and refined subsequently using new phenological, cladistic and biosystematic methods, (Robinson, 1979; Anashchenko, 1974, 1979; Schilling and Heiser, 1981) or molecular markers (Sossey-Alaoui et al., 1998). This approach splits Helianthus into four sections: Helianthus, Agrestes, Ciliares and Atrorubens. This classification is set out in Table 1.18. Section Helianthus This section comprises 12 species, including H. annuus, the cultivated sunflower. These species, which are diploid (2n = 34), are interfertile and annual in almost all cases. For the majority, the natural distribution is central and western North America. They are generally well adapted to dry or even arid areas and sandy soils. The widespread H. annuus L. species includes (Heiser et al., 1969) plants cultivated for seed or fodder referred to as H. annuus var. macrocarpus (D.C), or cultivated for ornament (H. annuus subsp. annuus), and uncultivated wild and weedy plants (H. annuus subsp. lenticularis, H. annuus subsp. Texanus, etc.). Leaves of these species are usually alternate, ovoid and with a long petiole. Flower heads, or capitula, consist of tubular and ligulate florets, which may be deep purple, red or yellow.

  • 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.

  • The Relationship Between Plant Growth and Water Consumption : a History from Greek Philosophers to Early 20Th Century Scientists
    The relationship between plant growth and water consumption : A history from Greek philosophers to early 20th century scientists. Oliver Brendel Université de Lorraine, AgroParisTech, INRA, UMR SILVA Nancy, France email : [email protected] Tel : 00 33 383394100 postal address: Oliver Brendel, INRAE, UMR Silva, F-54280 CHAMPENOUX, France Abstract The relationship between plant growth and water consumption has for a long time occupied the minds of philosophers and natural scientists. The ratio between biomass accumulation and water consumption is known as water use efficiency and is widely relevant today in fields as diverse as crop improvement, forest ecology and climate change. Defined at scales varying from single leaf physiology to whole plants, it shows how botanical investigations changed through time, generally in tandem with developing disciplines and improving methods. The history started as a purely philosophical question by Greek philosophers of how plants grow, progressed through thought and actual experiments, towards an interest in plant functioning and their relationship to the environment. This article retraces this history by elucidating the progression of scientific questions posed through the centuries, presents the main methodological and conceptual developments. Keywords Transpiration efficiency; water use efficiency; plant physiology; botany Introduction The ratio of biomass accumulation per unit water consumption is known today as water use efficiency (WUE) and is widely relevant to agriculture ( e.g. Vadez et al.2014; Tallec et al.; Blum 2009), to forest ecology (e.g. Linares and Camarero 2012; Lévesque et al. 2014), and in the context of global climate change (e.g., Cernusak et al. 2019). This ratio can be defined at various levels, from the physiological functioning of a leaf to the whole plant and at the ecosystem level.

  • 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).

  • Historical Review
    1 Historical Review INTRODUCTION This chapter presents a brief historical review of progress in the field of plant water relations because the authors feel that it is impossible to fully understand the present without some knowledge of the past. As the Danish philosopher Kierkegaarde wrote, "Life can only be understood backward, but it can only be lived forward," and this also is true of science. The present generation needs to be reminded that some generally accepted concepts have their origin in ideas of 17th or 18th century writers and although others were suggested many decades ago, they were neglected until recently. As might be expected, the importance of water to plant growth was recog- nized by prehistoric farmers because irrigation systems already existed in Egypt, Babylonia (modern Iraq), and China at the beginning of recorded history, and the first European explorers found extensive irrigation systems in both North and South America. However, irrigation was not used extensively in agriculture in the United States until after the middle of the 19th century and little research on plant water relations occurred until the 20th century. Early Research Although plant water relations appear to have been the first area of plant physiology to be studied, progress was slow from Aristotle who died in 322 B.C. to the middle of the 19th century. According to Aristotle, plants absorbed their food ready for use from the soil, and plant nutrition was controlled by a soul or vital principle that ailowed plants to absorb only those substances useful in 2 1. Historical Review growth. This idea only began to be questioned in the 17th century by Jung, van Helmont, Mariotte, and others, and it ~ersistedinto the 19th century.
