Derived traits of plants
•Apical meristem (“growing tip”)
•Alternation of generations
(sporophyte and gametophyte)
•Multicellular sporangia that produce
walled spores
•Multicellular gametangia
•Multicellular, dependent embryos.
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
Alternation of generations.
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
Mosses and bryophytes are dominated
by the gametophyte stage.

Sphagnum moss covers great expanses
of land as peat bogs, playing an
important role in the carbon cycle.

Seedless Vascular Plants.
Club mosses
Ferns
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
Ferns and other seedless vascular
plants formed the first forests.

Evolutionary milestones:
•Vascular transport
•Roots
•Leaves
•Sporophylls
•Seeds.
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
Vascular Transport
•Xylem carries water and
minerals up
•Made from dead cells called
thracheids
•Lignin is a tough carbohydrate
that allows the plant to grow tall.
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
Vascular Transport
•Phloem carries down
•Made from living tissue.
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
Roots
•Absorb water and nutrients
•May have evolved from
subterranean stems
•May have evolved once or
several times.
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
Leaves
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
Leaves
•Two kinds: microphylls and
megaphylls.
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
Sporophylls
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
Sporophylls
•Sporophylls are modified leaves
with sporangia
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
Sporophylls
•Sporophylls are modified leaves
with sporangia
•Most seedless vascular plants
make just one type of spore
which develops into a bisexual
gametophyte.
