Plant Divisions




Bryophytes
(Nonvascular)
Do not contain
specialized conducting
tissues
Live in water or moist
environments
Examples: moss,
liverworts, and
hornworts



Tracheophytes
(Vascular)
They contain vascular
tissue: xylem and
phloem
Examples: ferns,
conifers, and
flowering plants.
Bryophytes (Mosses)

Nonvascular

No roots, stem,or leaves
Transport of water is by
osmosis
Short in height (1-5 cm.)
Haploid gametophyte is
dominant
Diploid sporophyte is
small




Tracheophytes





Vascular Plants
The xylem conducts water up
The phloem conducts food (sugar) down
The sporophyte generation is dominant
Vascular Seedless Plants (Spores)
and
Vascular Seed Plants
Vascular Seedless Plants





Ex. Ferns
Contain horizontal
stems, just under the
soil, called rhizomes.
The roots grow from
the rhizomes
The leaves are called
fronds which contain
the spores.
Requires H2O for
sperm to swim to egg
Evolution of the Gametophyte and
the Sporophyte

Seed plants
Vascular Seed Plants





Gymnosperms

Nonflowering

Bear seeds on the

upper surface of
scales inside of cones
Contain true roots,
stems, and leaves

Examples Conifers,
Pines

Angiosperms
Flowering plants
Flower is a group of
modified leaves used for
sexual reproduction;
seeds found in fruit
Contains true
roots,stems, and leaves
Examples: rose, lily, oak,
maple, pea, and grass
Gymnosperms




Leaves are needlelike
Most are evergreen
They are called soft
wood.
Reproductive
structure is a cone or
cone-like structure.
Life Cycle of Gymnosperm
Angiosperms




Broad leaf plants
Most are deciduous
Called hardwood
They are divided into
two groups based on
the number of seed
leaves (cotyledons)
they contain.

“Monocots”
1 cotyledon
Parallel veins on leaves
Fibrous roots
Flowers in multiples of 3
Ex) grass, corn

The flower: the defining structure of angiosperms





Reproductive structure: pollen
transfer; specialized shoot with
modified leaves
Sepals: enclose flower before
it opens
Petals: attract pollinators
Stamens: male; anther
(produces pollen), filament
Carpel or Pistil: female;
stigma, style, ovary, ovules
Flower Types



Perfect
Perfect flowers
contain both male and
female parts on the
same flower.
Also called
monoecious



Imperfect
Imperfect flowers are
missing one of the
reproductive parts.
Also called dioecious.

Plant Hormones
A.
Auxins
1. Auxins and Phototropism
2. Auxins and Gravitropism
B.
Cytokinins – stimulate cell
division, growth of lateral buds, cause
dormant seeds to sprout
C.
Gibberellins – growth
hormone that stimulates cell
elongation, increase the rate of seed
germination and bud development
D.
Ethylene Gas – causes fruit
to ripen and withering of flowers after
fertilization.
