Guiding questions:
• Why did land plants come to be?
• What challenges did it pose?
• Name the 4 primary clades of all plants.
– Derived traits of them collectively
• Especially alternation of generations
– Ancestral traits of them collectively
• What are the derived characters unique to
seedless plants?
– Non-vascular (mosses)
– Vascular (ferns)
Concept 29.1: Land plants evolved from
green algae
• Green algae called charophytes are the closest
relatives of land plants
– Note that land plants are not descended from modern
charophytes, but share a common ancestor with
modern charophytes

Adaptations Enabling the Move to Land
• In charophytes a layer of a durable polymer called
sporopollenin prevents exposed zygotes from
drying out
– Sporopollenin is also found in plant spore walls
• Why move to land?
• What challenges did the move pose?

1. Alternation of Generations and
Multicellular, Dependent Embryos
• Plants alternate between two multicellular stages,
a reproductive cycle called alternation of
generations
• The gametophyte is haploid and produces
haploid gametes by mitosis
• Fusion of the gametes gives rise to the diploid
sporophyte, which produces haploid spores by
meiosis
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• The diploid embryo is retained within the tissue of
the female gametophyte
• Nutrients are transferred from parent to embryo
through placental transfer cells
• Land plants are called embryophytes because of
the dependency of the embryo on the parent

2. Walled Spores Produced in Sporangia
• The sporophyte produces spores in organs called
sporangia
• Diploid cells called sporocytes undergo meiosis
to generate haploid spores
• Spore walls contain sporopollenin, which makes
them resistant to harsh environments

3. Multicellular Gametangia
• Gametes are produced within organs called
gametangia
• Female gametangia, called archegonia, produce
eggs and are the site of fertilization
• Male gametangia, called antheridia, produce and
release sperm

4. Apical Meristems
• Plants sustain continual growth in their apical
meristems
• Cells from the apical meristems differentiate into
various tissues

• Additional derived traits include
– Cuticle, a waxy covering of the epidermis
– Mycorrhizae, symbiotic associations between
fungi and land plants that may have helped plants
without true roots to obtain nutrients
– Secondary compounds that deter herbivores
and parasites
– Very useful to humans, too

Lycophytes (club

• Seedless plants can be divided into
clades
– Bryophytes (non-vascular, e.g. mosses and their
relatives)
– Lycophytes and Pterophytes (vascular, e.g.
club mossess, ferns and their relatives)
– Seedless vascular plants are paraphyletic, and are
of the same level of biological organization, or
grade
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• A seed is an embryo and nutrients surrounded by
a protective coat
• Seed plants form a clade and can be
divided into further clades
– Gymnosperms, the “naked seed” plants,
including the conifers
– Angiosperms, the flowering plants

Concept 29.2: Mosses and other nonvascular
plants have life cycles dominated by
gametophytes
• Bryophytes are represented today by three phyla
of small herbaceous (nonwoody) plants
– Liverworts, phylum Hepatophyta
– Hornworts, phylum Anthocerophyta
– Mosses, phylum Bryophyta
• Bryophyte refers to all nonvascular plants,
whereas Bryophyta refers only to the phylum of
mosses

Bryophyte Sporophytes
• Bryophyte sporophytes grow out of archegonia,
and are the smallest and simplest sporophytes of
all extant plant groups
• A sporophyte consists of a foot, a seta (stalk),
and a sporangium, also called a capsule, which
discharges spores through a peristome
• Hornwort and moss sporophytes have stomata for
gas exchange; liverworts do not

Derived Traits of Vascular Plants
• Living vascular plants are characterized by
1. Life cycles with dominant sporophytes
2. Vascular tissues called xylem and phloem
3. Well-developed roots and leaves

Life Cycles with Dominant Sporophytes
• In contrast with bryophytes, sporophytes of
seedless vascular plants are the larger generation,
as in familiar ferns
• The gametophytes are tiny plants that grow on or
below the soil surface
• Seedless vascular plants have flagellated sperm and are
usually restricted to moist environments

Transport in Xylem and Phloem
• Vascular plants have two types of vascular tissue:
xylem and phloem
– Xylem conducts most of the water and minerals and
includes dead cells called tracheids
– Water-conducting cells are strengthened by lignin and
provide structural support
– Phloem consists of living cells and distributes sugars,
amino acids, and other organic products
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Evolution of Roots and Leaves
• Roots were originally underground stems
• Leaves are organs that increase the surface area
of vascular plants, thereby capturing more solar
energy that is used for photosynthesis
• Leaves are categorized by two types
 Microphylls, leaves with a single vein
 Megaphylls, leaves with a highly branched
vascular system
• According to one model of evolution, microphylls evolved as
outgrowths of stems
• Megaphylls may have evolved as webbing between flattened
branches
