The evolution of seeds, pollen, and wood freed plants from the need for water during reproduction, allowed for more effective dispersal of sperm, increased parental investment in the next generation and allowed for greater size and strength. 2. Seed plants originated in the Devonian period from a group called the progymnosperms, which possessed wood and heterospory, but reproduced by releasing spores. Currently, five lineages of seed plants survive--the flowering plants plus four groups of gymnosperms: cycads, Ginkgo, conifers, and gnetophytes. Conifers are the best known and most economically important group, including pines, firs, spruces, hemlocks, redwoods, cedars, cypress, yews, and several Southern Hemisphere genera. 3. The pine life cycle is heterosporous. Pollen strobili are small and seasonal. Each sporophyll has two microsporangia, in which microspores are formed and divide into immature male gametophytes while still retained in the microsporangia.

    Plant Classification Vascular plants are a group that has a system Non-Vascular plants are low growing plants of tubes (roots, stems and leaves) to help that get materials directly from their them transport materials throughout the surroundings. They have small root-like plant. Tubes called xylem move water from structures called rhizoids which help them the roots to the stems and leaves. Tubes adhere to their substrate. They undergo called phloem move food from the leaves asexual reproduction through vegetative (where sugar is made during propagation and sexual reproduction using photosynthesis) to the rest of the plant’s spores. Examples include bryophytes like cells. Vascular plants reproduce asexually hornworts, liverworts, and mosses. through spores and vegetative propagation (small part of the plant breaks off and forms a new plant) and sexually through pollen (sperm) and ovules (eggs). A gymnosperm is a vascular plant whose An angiosperm is a vascular plant whose seeds are not enclosed in an ovule or fruit. mature seeds are enclosed in a fruit or The name means “naked seed” and the ovule.

  • B.Sc Botany (Sub.) I Group: a General Characters of Gymnosperm
    1 B.Sc Botany (Sub.) I Group: A General Characters of Gymnosperm Gymnosperms are a small group of plants comprising only 70 genera and 725 living species. The word Gymnosperm was used by the Greek botanists Theophrastus in 300 B.C. for the plants with unprotected seeds. Gymnosperms are naked seeded plants. The gymnosperms are characterized by the following features: i. It shows the distinct alternation of generations. ii. Sporophytic generation is the dormant phase of the life cycle. The main plants are sporophyte and the gametophytes are dependent on it throughout. iii. The sporophytic plants are usually tall, woody, perennial trees or shrubs and differentiated into root, stem and leaves. iv. Root- Root is usually well developed tap root system. The stele in root is diarch or polyarch. v. Stem- stems are usually branched but unbranched in Cycas. vi. The leaves may be compound as in Cycas or simple as in Pinus. Internal structure: i. The vascular bundles in stem are arranged in a ring. The bundles are conjoint, collateral and open. ii. The secondary growth is effected by a cambial layer which produces secondary xylem and secondary phloem on the inner and outer side respectively. iii. The secondary wood forming distinct annual ring. Spring wood: It is made up of layer tracheids with the walls and layer lumen. Autumn wood: It is made up of compactly arranged smaller tracheids with thick walls and smaller lumen. iv. The wood may be manoxylic or pycnoxylic and may be monoxylic or polyxylic. Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Vidyarthi, dept. of Botany, Dr. L.K.V.D.

  • The Origin of Alternation of Generations in Land Plants

Microfossil dataindicate that Mid ^Late Ordovicianland plants possessed such alifecycle, and that the originof alternationof generationspreceded this date.Molecular phylogenetic data unambiguously relate charophyceangreen algae to the ancestryof monophyletic embryophytes, and identify bryophytes as early-divergentland plants. Comparison of reproduction in charophyceans and bryophytes suggests that the followingstages occurredduring evolutionary origin of embryophytic alternation of generations: (i) originof oogamy;(ii) retention ofeggsand zygotes on the parentalthallus; (iii) originof matrotrophy (regulatedtransfer ofnutritional and morphogenetic solutes fromparental cells tothe nextgeneration); (iv)origin of a multicellularsporophyte generation ;and(v) origin of non-£ agellate, walled spores. Oogamy,egg/zygoteretention andmatrotrophy characterize at least some moderncharophyceans, and arepostulated to represent pre-adaptativefeatures inherited byembryophytes from ancestral charophyceans.Matrotrophy is hypothesizedto have preceded originof the multicellularsporophytes of plants,and to represent acritical innovation.Molecular

  • 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).

  • Workshop on Alternation of Generations by Dana Krempels
    Workshop on Alternation of Generations by Dana Krempels Introduction For students new to the study of Plantae, the life cycle of plants--in which a diploid generation alternates with a haploid generation--can be difficult to understand. In this workshop, you will (1) examine the details of plant gametophyte and sporophyte structure and function, and (2) create an animal analog to this type of life history. Your goals: 1. Understand the alternation of haploid and diploid individuals in the plant life cycle. 2. Understand the terminology used to describe parts of the life cycle, and recognize what each life cycle stage looks like in the major plant taxa. 3. Acquire a more "personal" understanding of how the alternation of generations works by designing an imaginary animal that goes through this type of life cycle. I. Alternation of Generations in Plants: Processes and Terminology The painful part comes first: knowing the general course of events, and what each life cycle stage and structure is called. A. An Overview of Alternation of Generations In the plant life cycle, generations alternate between a diploid (2n) sporophyte and a haploid (n) gametophyte. Essentially, the sporophyte bears gametophyte offspring, and the gametophyte bears sporophyte offspring. The plants alternate ploidy from hapoid to diploid in each generation. The sporophyte and gametophye generations look completely different from one another, as you can see from the diagram below. 1. In the diagram below, use the following terms to label the organisms/structures marked a – e. gametophyte spore zygote sporophyte gamete 2. In the spaces labeled 1 – 5, insert the appropriate term, choosing from these three: meiosis mitosis fertilization 3.

They are placed in the clade Archaeplastida along with the green algae and charophytes. They are all eukaryotic and multicellular with distinct cell walls. Photosynthetic pigments occur in organelles called plastids. Plants have adapted to the terrestrial environment with an increase in structural complexity. Many plants have developed organs for anchorage, conduction, support, and photosynthesis. Reproduction is primarily sexual, with an alternation of generation of haploid and diploid generations. The sporophyte generation becomes increasingly predominant as plants evolve. The nonvascular plants lack conductive tissue and are limited to a specific range of terrestrial habitats. These plants display two adaptations that first made the move onto land possible. They possess a waxy cuticle to reduce water loss and their gametes develop within gametangia for protection of the embryo. These plants are limited in range because they require water for reproduction. They lack vascular tissue, which means they must live in moist environments and lack woody structures for support therefore they grow low to the ground. Station 1 – Kingdom Planate 1.

  • 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.
