LECTURE PRESENTATIONS For CAMPBELL BIOLOGY, NINTH EDITION Jane B. Reece, Lisa A. Urry, Michael L. Cain, Steven A. Wasserman, Peter V. Minorsky, Robert B. Jackson Chapter 38 Angiosperm Reproduction and Biotechnology Lectures by Erin Barley Kathleen Fitzpatrick © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Big Ideas 2.E.1) Timing and coordination of specific events are necessary for the normal development of an organism… 2.E.2) Timing and coordination of physiological events are regulated by multiple mechanisms. Illustrative Examples: • Germination is triggered by water availability • Flower development & pollination © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Big Ideas • 3.A: DNA, and in some cases, RNA is the primary heritable information. Illustrative Examples: • Double fertilization seed, endosperm © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Beyond the Scope of the AP Exam… Memorizing steps of any specific plant reproductive cycle, however general knowledge of the alternation of generations (sporophyte v. gametophyte) is fair game. • See Figures 38. 2-3 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Overview: Flowers of Deceit • Insects help angiosperms to reproduce sexually with distant members of their own species – For example, male Campsoscolia wasps mistake Ophrys flowers for females and attempt to mate with them – The flower is pollinated in the process – Unusually, the flower does not produce nectar and the male receives no benefit © 2011 Pearson Inc. Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Copyright © 2008Education, Pearson Education, Figure 38.1 • Many angiosperms lure insects with nectar; both plant and pollinator benefit • Mutualistic symbioses are common between plants and other species • Angiosperms can reproduce sexually and asexually • Angiosperms are the most important group of plants in terrestrial ecosystems and in agriculture © 2011 Pearson Inc. Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Copyright © 2008Education, Pearson Education, Concept 38.1: Flowers, double fertilization, and fruits are unique features of the angiosperm life cycle • Plant lifecycles are characterized by the alternation between a multicellular haploid (n) generation and a multicellular diploid (2n) generation • Diploid sporophytes (2n) produce spores (n) by meiosis; these grow into haploid gametophytes (n) • Gametophytes produce haploid gametes (n) by mitosis; fertilization of gametes produces a sporophyte © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. • In angiosperms, the sporophyte is the dominant generation, the large plant that we see • The gametophytes are reduced in size and depend on the sporophyte for nutrients • The angiosperm life cycle is characterized by “three Fs”: flowers, double fertilization, and fruits © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 38.5 Double Fertilization • After landing on a receptive stigma, a pollen grain produces a pollen tube that extends between the cells of the style toward the ovary • Double fertilization results from the discharge of two sperm from the pollen tube into the embryo sac • One sperm fertilizes the egg, and the other combines with the polar nuclei, giving rise to the triploid food-storing endosperm (3n) © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Endosperm Development • Endosperm development usually precedes embryo development • In most monocots and some eudicots, endosperm stores nutrients that can be used by the seedling • In other eudicots, the food reserves of the endosperm are exported to the cotyledons © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Embryo Development • The first mitotic division of the zygote splits the fertilized egg into a basal cell and a terminal cell • The basal cell produces a multicellular suspensor, which anchors the embryo to the parent plant • The terminal cell gives rise to most of the embryo • The cotyledons form and the embryo elongates © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 38.8b Seed coat Endosperm Cotyledons Epicotyl Hypocotyl Radicle (b) Castor bean, a eudicot with thin cotyledons • A monocot embryo has one cotyledon • Grasses, such as maize and wheat, have a special cotyledon called a scutellum • Two sheathes enclose the embryo of a grass seed: a coleoptile covering the young shoot and a coleorhiza covering the young root © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 38.8c Scutellum (cotyledon) Coleoptile Coleorhiza (c) Maize, a monocot Pericarp fused with seed coat Endosperm Epicotyl Hypocotyl Radicle Seed Dormancy: An Adaptation for Tough Times • Seed dormancy increases the chances that germination will occur at a time and place most advantageous to the seedling • The breaking of seed dormancy often requires environmental cues, such as temperature or lighting changes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Seed Germination and Seedling Development • Germination depends on imbibition, the uptake of water due to low water potential of the dry seed • The radicle (embryonic root) emerges first • Next, the shoot tip breaks through the soil surface © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. • In many eudicots, a hook forms in the hypocotyl, and growth pushes the hook above ground • Light causes the hook to straighten and pull the cotyledons and shoot tip up © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 38.9b Foliage leaves Coleoptile Coleoptile Radicle (b) Maize Fruit Form and Function • A fruit develops from the ovary • It protects the enclosed seeds and aids in seed dispersal by wind or animals • A fruit may be classified as dry, if the ovary dries out at maturity, or fleshy, if the ovary becomes thick, soft, and sweet at maturity © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Animation: Fruit Development Right-click slide / select “Play” © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. • Fruits are also classified by their development – Simple, a single or several fused carpels – Aggregate, a single flower with multiple separate carpels – Multiple, a group of flowers called an inflorescence © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Mechanisms of Asexual Reproduction • Fragmentation, separation of a parent plant into parts that develop into whole plants, is a very common type of asexual reproduction • In some species, a parent plant’s root system gives rise to adventitious shoots that become separate shoot systems © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 38.12 • Apomixis is the asexual production of seeds from a diploid cell © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Advantages and Disadvantages of Asexual Versus Sexual Reproduction • Asexual reproduction is also called vegetative reproduction • Asexual reproduction can be beneficial to a successful plant in a stable environment • However, a clone of plants is vulnerable to local extinction if there is an environmental change © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. • Sexual reproduction generates genetic variation that makes evolutionary adaptation possible • However, only a fraction of seedlings survive • Some flowers can self-fertilize to ensure that every ovule will develop into a seed • Many species have evolved mechanisms to prevent selfing © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Mechanisms That Prevent Self-Fertilization • Many angiosperms have mechanisms that make it difficult or impossible for a flower to self-fertilize • Dioecious species have staminate and carpellate flowers on separate plants © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 38.13 (a) Staminate flowers (left) and carpellate flowers (right) of a dioecious species Stamens Styles Styles Thrum flower (b) Thrum and pin flowers Stamens Pin flower • The most common is self-incompatibility, a plant’s ability to reject its own pollen • Researchers are unraveling the molecular mechanisms involved in self-incompatibility • Some plants reject pollen that has an S-gene matching an allele in the stigma cells • Recognition of self pollen triggers a signal transduction pathway leading to a block in growth of a pollen tube © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Vegetative Propagation and Agriculture • Humans have devised methods for asexual propagation of angiosperms • Most methods are based on the ability of plants to form adventitious roots or shoots © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Clones from Cuttings • Many kinds of plants are asexually reproduced from plant fragments called cuttings • A callus is a mass of dividing undifferentiated cells that forms where a stem is cut and produces adventitious roots © 2011 Pearson Inc. Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Copyright © 2008Education, Pearson Education, Grafting • A twig or bud can be grafted onto a plant of a closely related species or variety • The stock provides the root system • The scion is grafted onto the stock © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Test-Tube Cloning and Related Techniques • Plant biologists have adopted in vitro methods to create and clone novel plant varieties • A callus of undifferentiated cells can sprout shoots and roots in response to plant hormones © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
