In this sectional view through the ovule of a pine (a gymnosperm), a fleshy megasporangium is surrounded by a protective layer of tissue called an integument. (Angiosperms have two integuments.) Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Pollen and Production of Sperm • Microspores develop into pollen grains – Which contain the male gametophytes of plants • Pollination – Is the transfer of pollen to the part of a seed plant containing the ovules Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings If a Pollen Grain Germinates It gives rise to a pollen tube that discharges two sperm into the female gametophyte within the ovule Female gametophyte (n) Egg nucleus (n) Spore wall Male gametophyte (within germinating pollen grain) (n) Discharged sperm nucleus (n) Micropyle Figure 30.3b Pollen grain (n) (b) Fertilized ovule. A megaspore develops into a multicellular female gametophyte. The micropyle, the only opening through the integument, allows entry of a pollen grain. The pollen grain contains a male gametophyte, which develops a pollen tube that discharges sperm. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Evolutionary Advantage of Pollen • Pollen, which can be dispersed by air or animals – Eliminated the water requirement for fertilization Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Evolutionary Advantage of Seeds • A seed – Develops from the whole ovule – Is a sporophyte embryo, along with its food supply, packaged in a protective coat Seed coat (derived from Integument) Food supply (female gametophyte tissue) (n) Embryo (2n) (new sporophyte) Figure 30.3c (c) Gymnosperm seed. Fertilization initiates the transformation of the ovule into a seed, which consists of a sporophyte embryo, a food supply, and a protective seed coat derived from the integument. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Gymnosperms • Bear “naked” seeds, typically on cones • Among the gymnosperms are many well-known conifers – Or cone-bearing trees, including pine, fir, & redwood Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Gymnosperms • The gymnosperms include four plant phyla – Cycadophyta – Gingkophyta – Gnetophyta – Coniferophyta Welwitschia Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • Exploring Gymnosperm Diversity PHYLUM CYCADOPHYTA PHYLUM GINKGOPHYTA Cycas revoluta PHYLUM GNETOPHYTA Gnetum Welwitschia Ovulate cones Ephedra Figure 30.4 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Exploring Gymnosperm Diversity PHYLUM CYCADOPHYTA Douglas fir Common juniper Wollemia pine Pacific yew Bristlecone pine Figure 30.4 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Sequoia Seed Plants • Gymnosperms appear early in the fossil record – And dominated the Mesozoic terrestrial ecosystems • Living seed plants – Can be divided into two groups: gymnosperms and angiosperms Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings A Closer Look at the Life Cycle of a Pine • Key features of the gymnosperm life cycle include – Dominance of the sporophyte generation, the pine tree – The development of seeds from fertilized ovules – The role of pollen in transferring sperm to ovules Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Life Cycle of a Pine Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Angiosperms • The reproductive adaptations of angiosperms include flowers and fruits • Angiosperms – Are commonly known as flowering plants – Are seed plants that produce the reproductive structures called flowers and fruits – Are the most widespread and diverse of all plants Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Characteristics of Angiosperms • The key adaptations in the evolution of angiosperms – Are flowers and fruits Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Flowers • The flower – Is an angiosperm structure specialized for sexual reproduction Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Flowers • A flower is a specialized shoot with modified leaves – Sepals, which enclose the flower – Petals, which are brightly colored and attract pollinators – Stamens, which produce pollen – Carpels, which produce ovules Carpel Stigma Stamen Anther Style Ovary Filament Petal Sepal Receptacle Figure 30.7 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Ovule Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Flower Anatomy Stamens Stamens are composed of an anther and a filament. The anther contains microsporangia. Microspores and microgametophytes are produced within the anther. Ovules Ovules are structures that will become seeds. They contain outer protective coverings called integuments and a megasporangium within the integuments. Within the megasporangium, megaspores are produced by meiosis. The megaspores produce megagametophytes, which, in turn, produce eggs. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Pistil All of the female reproductive structures form the pistil. This includes the stigma, style, and ovary. Each chamber within a pistil is called a carpel. It evolved from a leaf that contained sporangia on its edges. Over evolutionary time, the leaf became curled to enclose the sporangia as seen in carpels today. A simple pistil is also called a carpel because it has only one chamber. A compound pistil contains several carpels that have become fused as a result of evolutionary change. Ovary The bottom portion of a pistil is the ovary. It contains ovules. As the reproductive process proceeds, the ovary enlarges and becomes the fruit and the ovules become seeds. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Fruits – Typically consist of a mature ovary (a) Tomato, a fleshy fruit with soft outer and inner layers of pericarp (b) Ruby grapefruit, a fleshy fruit with a hard outer layer and soft inner layer of pericarp (c) Nectarine, a fleshy fruit with a soft outer layer and hard inner layer (pit) of pericarp Figure 30.8a–e (d) Milkweed, a dry fruit that splits open at maturity Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings (e) Walnut, a dry fruit that remains closed at maturity Seeds • Can be carried by wind, water, or animals to new locations, enhancing seed dispersal (a) Wings enable maple fruits to be easily carried by the wind. (b) Seeds within berries and other edible fruits are often dispersed in animal feces. Figure 30.9a–c Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings (c) The barbs of cockleburs facilitate seed dispersal by allowing the fruits to “hitchhike” on animals. The Angiosperm Life Cycle • In the angiosperm life cycle – Double fertilization occurs when a pollen tube discharges two sperm into the female gametophyte within an ovule – One sperm fertilizes the egg, while the other combines with two nuclei in the center cell of the female gametophyte and initiates development of food-storing endosperm • The endosperm – Nourishes the developing embryo Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • The life cycle of an angiosperm Key Haploid (n) Diploid (2n) 1 Anthers contain microsporangia. Each microsporangium contains microsporocytes (microspore mother cells) that divide by meiosis, producing microspores. Microsporangium Anther Microsporocytes (2n) Mature flower on sporophyte plant (2n) 2 Microspores form pollen grains (containing male gametophytes). The generative cell will divide to form two sperm. The tube cell will produce the pollen tube. MEIOSIS Microspore (n) Ovule with megasporangium (2n) 7 When a seed germinates, the embryo develops into a mature sporophyte. Generative cell Tube cell Male gametophyte (in pollen grain) Ovary 3 In the megasporangium of each ovule, the megasporocyte divides by meiosis and produces four megaspores. The surviving megaspore in each ovule forms a female gametophyte Seed (embryo sac). Embryo (2n) Endosperm (food Supply) (3n) 6 The zygote develops into an embryo that is packaged along with food into a seed. (The fruit tissues surrounding the seed are not shown).

FERTILIZATION Figure 30.10 5 Double fertilization occurs. One sperm fertilizes the egg, forming a zygote. The other sperm combines with the two polar nuclei to form the nucleus of the endosperm, which is triploid in this example. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Discharged sperm nuclei (n) Angiosperm Diversity • The two main groups of angiosperms – Are monocots and eudicots • Basal angiosperms – Are less derived and include the flowering plants belonging to the oldest lineages • Magnoliids – Share some traits with basal angiosperms but are more closely related to monocots and eudicots Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • Exploring Angiosperm Diversity BASAL ANGIOSPERMS Amborella trichopoda Star anise (Illicium floridanum) Water lily (Nymphaea “Rene Gerard”) MAGNOLIIDS Southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) Figure 30.12 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Eudicots Monocots Magnoliids Star anise and relatives Water lilies Amborella HYPOTHETICAL TREE OF FLOWERING PLANTS Angiosperm Diversity EUDICOTS MONOCOTS Monocot Characteristics Orchid (Lemboglossum fossii) Eudicot Characteristics California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) Embryos One cotyledon Two cotyledons Leaf venation Veins usually netlike Veins usually parallel Pygmy date palm (Phoenix roebelenii) Pyrenean oak (Quercus pyrenaica) Stems Lily (Lilium “Enchantment”) Vascular tissue usually arranged in ring Vascular tissue scattered Roots Barley (Hordeum vulgare), a grass Root system Usually fibrous (no main root) Dog rose (Rosa canina), a wild rose Taproot (main root) usually present Pollen Pollen grain with one opening Pea (Lathyrus nervosus, Lord Anson’s blue pea), a legume Pollen grain with three openings Flowers Anther Stigma Filament Figure 30.12 Ovary Floral organs usually in multiples of three Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Floral organs usually in multiples of four or five Zucchini (Cucurbita Pepo), female (left) and male flowers Evolutionary Links Between Angiosperms and Animals • Pollination of flowers by animals and transport of seeds by animals – Are two important relationships in terrestrial ecosystems (a) A flower pollinated by honeybees. This honeybee is harvesting pollen and nectar (a sugary solution secreted by flower glands) from a Scottish broom flower. The flower has a tripping mechanism that arches the stamens over the bee and dusts it with pollen, some of which will rub off onto the stigma of the next flower the bee visits. (b) A flower pollinated by hummingbirds. The long, thin beak and tongue of this rufous hummingbird enable the animal to probe flowers that secrete nectar deep within floral tubes. Before the hummer leaves, anthers will dust its beak and head feathers with pollen. Many flowers that are pollinated by birds are red or pink, colors to which bird eyes are especially sensitive. Figure 30.13a–c Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings (c) A flower pollinated by nocturnal animals. Some angiosperms, such as this cactus, depend mainly on nocturnal pollinators, including bats. Common adaptations of such plants include large, light-colored, highly fragrant flowers that nighttime pollinators can locate.
