Chapter 30 Plant Diversity II: The Evolution of Seed Plants PowerPoint Lectures for Biology, Seventh Edition Neil Campbell and Jane Reece Lectures by Chris Romero Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Overview: Feeding the World • Seeds changed the course of plant evolution, enabling their bearers to become the dominant producers in most terrestrial ecosystems Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Concept 30.1: The reduced gametophytes of seed plants are protected in ovules and pollen grains • In addition to seeds, the following are common to all seed plants: – Reduced gametophytes – Heterospory – Ovules – Pollen Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Advantages of Reduced Gametophytes • The gametophytes of seed plants develop within the walls of spores retained within tissues of the parent sporophyte Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings LE 30-2 Sporophyte (2n) Sporophyte (2n) Gametophyte (n) Sporophyte dependent on gametophyte (mosses and other bryophytes) Microscopic female gametophytes (n) in ovulate cones (dependent) Gametophyte (n) Large sporophyte and small, independent gametophyte (ferns and other seedless vascular plants) Sporophyte (2n), the flowering plant (independent) Microscopic male gametophytes (n) in inside these parts of flowers (dependent) Microscopic male gametophytes (n) in pollen cones (dependent) Sporophyte (2n), (independent) Microscopic female gametophytes (n) in inside these parts of flowers (dependent) Reduced gametophyte dependent on sporophyte (seed plants: gymnosperms and angiosperms) Heterospory: The Rule Among Seed Plants • Seed plants evolved from plants with megasporangia, which produce megaspores that give rise to female gametophytes • Seed plants evolved from plants with microsporangia, which produce microspores that give rise to male gametophytes Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Ovules and Production of Eggs • An ovule consists of a megasporangium, megaspore, and one or more protective integuments • Gymnosperm megaspores have one integument • Angiosperm megaspores usually have two integuments Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings LE 30-3 Integument Female gametophyte (n) Seed coat (derived from integument) Spore wall Egg nucleus (n) Megasporangium (2n) Megaspore (n) Unfertilized ovule Male gametophyte (within germinating pollen grain) (n) Micropyle Fertilized ovule Discharged sperm nucleus (n) Pollen grain (n) Food supply (female gametophyte tissue) (n) Embryo (2n) (new sporophyte) Gymnosperm seed Pollen and Production of Sperm • Microspores develop into pollen grains, which contain the male gametophytes • Pollination is the transfer of pollen to the part of a seed plant containing the ovules • Pollen can be dispersed by air or animals, eliminating the water requirement for fertilization • If a pollen grain germinates, it gives rise to a pollen tube that discharges two sperm into the female gametophyte within the ovule Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Evolutionary Advantage of Seeds • A seed develops from the whole ovule • A seed is a sporophyte embryo, along with its food supply, packaged in a protective coat Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Concept 30.2: Gymnosperms bear “naked” seeds, typically on cones • The gymnosperms include four phyla: – Cycadophyta (cycads) – Gingkophyta (one living species: Ginkgo biloba) – Gnetophyta (three genera: Gnetum, Ephedra, Welwitschia) – Coniferophyta (conifers, such as pine, fir, and redwood) Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings LE 30-4aa Cycas revoluta LE 30-4ab LE 30-4ac LE 30-4ad Gnetum. This genus includes about 35 species of tropical trees, shrubs, and vines, mainly native to Africa and Asia. Their leaves look similar to those of flowering plants, and their seeds look somewhat like fruits. LE 30-4ae Ephedra. This genus includes about 40 species that inhabit arid regions throughout the world. Known in North America as “Mormon tea,” these desert shrubs produce the compound ephedrine, commonly used as a decongestant. LE 30-4af Welwitschia. This genus consists of one species Welwitschia mirabilis, a plant that lives only in the deserts of southwestern Africa. Its strap like leaves are among the largest known. LE 30-4ag Ovulate cones LE 30-4ba Douglas fir. “Doug fir” (Pseudotsuga menziesii) provides more timber than any other North American tree species. Some uses include house framing, plywood, pulpwood for paper, railroad ties, and boxes and crates. LE 30-4bb Pacific yew. The bark of Pacific yew (Taxa brevifolia) is a source of taxol, a compound used to treat women with ovarian cancer. The leaves of a European yew species produce a similar compound, which can be harvested without destroying the plants. Pharmaceutical companies are now refining techniques for synthesizing drugs with taxol-like properties. LE 30-4bc Bristlecone pine. This species (Pinus longaeva), which is found in the White Mountains of California, includes some of the oldest living organisms, reaching ages of more than 4,600 years. One tree (not shown here) is called Methuselah because it may be the world’s oldest living tree. In order to protect the tree, scientists keep its location a secret. LE 30-4bd Sequoia. This giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum), in California’s Sequoia National Park weighs about 2,500 metric tons, equivalent to about 24 blue whales (the largest animals), or 40,000 people. Giant sequoias are the largest living organisms and also some of the most ancient, with some estimated to be between 1,800 and 2,700 years old. Their cousins, the coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens), grow to heights of more than 110 meters (taller than the Statue of Liberty) and are found only in a narrow coastal strip of northern California. LE 30-4be Common juniper. The “berries” of the common juniper (Juniperus communis), are actually ovuleproducing cones consisting of fleshy sporophylls. LE 30-4bf Wollemia pine. Survivors of a confer group once known only from fossils, living Wollemia pines (Wollemia nobilis), were discovered in 1994 in a national park only 150 kilometers from Sydney, Australia. The species consists of just 40 known individuals two small groves. The inset photo compares the leaves of this “living fossil” with actual fossils. Gymnosperm Evolution • Fossil evidence reveals that by the late Devonian period some plants, called progymnosperms, had begun to acquire some adaptations that characterize seed plants Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • Gymnosperms appear early in the fossil record and dominated the Mesozoic terrestrial ecosystems • Living seed plants can be divided into two clades: 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: – Dominance of the sporophyte generation – Development of seeds from fertilized ovules – The transfer of sperm to ovules by pollen • The life cycle of a pine is an example Animation: Pine Life Cycle Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings LE 30-6_3 Key Haploid (n) Diploid (2n) Ovule Ovulate cone Pollen cone Megasporocyte (2n) Integument Longitudinal Micropyle section of ovulate cone Megasporangium Mature sporophyte (2n) Microsporocytes (2n) MEIOSIS Longitudinal section of pollen cone Sporophyll Microsporangium Germinating Pollen pollen grain grains (n) MEIOSIS (containing male gametophytes) Surviving megaspore (n) Seedling Germinating pollen grain Archegonium Egg (n) Seeds on surface of ovulate scale Female gametophyte Germinating pollen grain (n) Food reserves Seed coat (gametophyte (derived from Discharged tissue) (n) sperm nucleus (n) parent sporophyte) (2n) Pollen tube Embryo (new sporophyte) (2n) FERTILIZATION Egg nucleus (n) Integument Concept 30.3: The reproductive adaptations of angiosperms include flowers and fruits • Angiosperms are flowering plants • These seed plants have reproductive structures called flowers and fruits • They are the most widespread and diverse of all plants Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Characteristics of Angiosperms • All angiosperms are classified in a single phylum, Anthophyta • The name comes from the Greek anthos, flower Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Flowers • The flower is an angiosperm structure specialized for sexual reproduction • A flower is a specialized shoot with up to four types of modified leaves: – Sepals, which enclose the flower – Petals, which are brightly colored and attract pollinators – Stamens, which produce pollen – Carpels, which produce ovules Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings LE 30-7 Stigma Stamen Anther Carpel Style Filament Ovary Petal Sepal Ovule Receptacle Video: Flower Blooming (time lapse) Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Fruits • A fruit typically consists of a mature ovary but can also include other flower parts • Fruits protect seeds and aid in their dispersal • Mature fruits can be either fleshy or dry Animation: Fruit Development Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings LE 30-8 Tomato, a fleshy fruit with soft outer and inner layers of pericarp Ruby grapefruit, a fleshy fruit with a hard outer layer and soft inner layer of pericarp Nectarine, a fleshy fruit with a soft outer layer and hard inner layer (pit) of pericarp Milkweed, a dry fruit that splits open at maturity Walnut, a dry fruit that remains closed at maturity • Various fruit adaptations help disperse seeds • Seeds can be carried by wind, water, or animals to new locations Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings LE 30-9 Wings enable maple fruits to be easily carried by the wind. Seeds within berries and other edible fruits are often dispersed in animal feces. The barbs of cockleburs facilitate seed dispersal by allowing these 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 central cell of the female gametophyte and initiates development of food-storing endosperm • The endosperm nourishes the developing embryo

Cummings Angiosperm Evolution • Clarifying the origin and diversification of angiosperms poses fascinating challenges to evolutionary biologists • Angiosperms originated at least 140 million years ago • During the late Mesozoic, the major branches of the clade diverged from their common ancestor Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Fossil Angiosperms • Primitive fossils of 125-million-year-old angiosperms display derived and primitive traits • Archaefructus sinensis, for example, has anthers and seeds but lacks petals and sepals Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings LE 30-11 Carpel Stamen 5 cm Archaefructus sinensis, a 125-million-year-old fossil Artist’s reconstruction of Archaefructus sinensis An “Evo-Devo” Hypothesis of Flower Origins • Scientist Michael Frohlich hypothesized how pollen-producing and ovule-producing structures were combined into a single flower • He proposed that the ancestor of angiosperms had separate pollen-producing and ovuleproducing structures Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 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 LE 30-12aa BASAL ANGIOSPERMS Amborella trichopoda Water lily (Nymphaea “Rene Gerald”) Star anise (Illicium floridanum) LE 30-12ab MAGNOLIIDS Southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) Eudicots Monocots Magnoliids Star anise and relatives Water lilies Amborella HYPOTHETICAL TREE

scattered Vascular tissue usually arranged in ring LE 30-12bc MONOCOTS EUDICOTS Lily (Lilium “Enchantment”) Roots Dog rose (Rosa canina), a wild rose Root system usually fibrous (no main root) Taproot (main root) usually present LE 30-12bd MONOCOTS EUDICOTS Barley (Hordeum vulgare), a grass Pea (Lathyrusner vosus, Lord Anson’s blue pea), a legume Pollen Pollen grain with one opening Pollen grain with three openings Flowers Anther Stigma Filament Ovary Floral organs usually in multiples of three 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 Video: Bee Pollinating Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Video: Bat Pollinating LE 30-13 A flower pollinated by honeybees. A flower pollinated by hummingbirds. A flower pollinated by nocturnal animals. Concept 30.4: Human welfare depends greatly on seed plants • No group of plants is more important to human survival than seed plants • Plants are key sources of food, fuel, wood products, and medicine • Our reliance on seed plants makes preservation of plant diversity critical Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Products from Seed Plants • Most of our food comes from angiosperms • Six crops (wheat, rice, maize, potatoes, cassava, and sweet potatoes) yield 80% of the calories consumed by humans • Modern crops are products of relatively recent genetic change resulting from artificial selection • Many seed plants provide wood • Secondary compounds of seed plants are used in medicines Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Threats to Plant Diversity • Destruction of habitat is causing extinction of many plant species • Loss of plant habitat is often accompanied by loss of the animal species that plants support Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
