Chapter 17 Plants, Fungi, and the Colonization of Land PowerPoint Lectures for Biology: Concepts and Connections, Fifth Edition – Campbell, Reece, Taylor, and Simon Lectures by Chris Romero Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Plants and Fungi-A Beneficial Partnership • Mycorrhizae are mutually beneficial associations of plant roots and fungi – The fungi help plants obtain nutrients and water and protect plant roots from parasites – Sugars produced by the plant nourish the fungi • Modern agricultural practices often disrupt mycorrhizal fungi, making fertilizers necessary • Beneficial relationships with fungi may have been important as plants adapted to life on land Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings PLANT EVOLUTION AND DIVERSITY 17.1 Plants evolved from green algae • Plants and present-day green algae called charophyceans probably evolved from a common ancestor – Morphological, biochemical, and genetic similarities • Adaptations enabling permanent life on land appeared in ancestral green algae about 475 million years ago – Early environment suitable for plant life Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 17.2 Plants have adaptations for life on land • Plants and algae are both multicellular photosynthetic eukaryotes • A set of derived characteristics distinguishes plants as a clade • Plants and algae interact differently with their environments Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • Key adaptations of plants to four challenges of terrestrial life – Obtaining resources from both soil and air • Roots provide anchorage and absorb water and minerals from soil • Leaves absorb CO2 from the air • Elongation of apical meristems maximizes exposure to resources • Vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) connects subterranean and aerial parts Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • Supporting the plant body – Lignin thickens and strengthens cell walls • Maintaining moisture – Waxy cuticle covering aerial parts prevents direct gas exchange – Stomata control gas exchange and prevent water loss Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • Reproducing on land – Male and female gametangia (protective jackets) surround gamete-producing cells – Plants are embryophytes • Fertilized egg develops into an embryo while attached to and nourished by the parent plant – All plant life cycles have alternation of generations • Haploid spores are produced in protective sporangia Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings LE 17-2a Plant Reproductive structures (flowers) contain spores and gametes Leaf performs photosynthesis Cuticle reduces water loss; stomata allow gas exchange Stem supports plant and may perform photosynthesis Surrounding water supports alga Roots anchor plant; absorb water and minerals from the soil Whole alga performs photosynthesis; absorbs water, CO2, and minerals from the water Holdfast anchors alga Alga 17.3 Plant diversity reflects the evolutionary history of the plant kingdom • Diversification of plants about 475 million years ago gave rise to bryophytes – Mosses, hornworts, and liverworts – Lack vascular tissue – Need to be covered with a film of water for sperm to swim to egg Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • Vascular plants originated about 420 million years ago – Have supportive vascular tissues – Seedless vascular plants • Lycophytes: club mosses • Pterophytes: ferns and their relatives – Well-developed roots and rigid stems – Flagellated sperm that swim to eggs Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • Vascular plants with seeds evolved about 360 million years ago – Seed: embryo packaged with food supply within a protective covering – Seed plant lineage accounts for over 90% of plants living today – Key adaptations of seed plants • Seeds allow embryos to spread to diverse habitats • Pollen allows for passive transfer of sperm to egg Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings – Gymnosperms are among the earliest seed plants • Seeds not protected in specialized chambers • Largest clade comprises cone-bearing confers Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings – Angiosperms (flowering plants) evolved about 140 million years ago • Flowers are complex reproductive structures that develop seeds within protective ovaries • The great majority of living plants are angiosperms Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • Summary: Four key adaptations for life on land distinguish the main lineages of the plant kingdom – Dependent embryos: all plants – Lignified vascular tissues: all vascular plants – Seeds: gymnosperms and angiosperms – Flowers: angiosperms Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings LE 17-3a Land plants Vascular plants Bryophytes (nonvascular plants) Seedless vascular plants Seed plants Origin of seed plants (about 360 mya) Origin of vascular plants (about 420 mya) Origin of land plants (about 475 mya) ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS AND PLANT LIFE CYCLES 17.4 Haploid and diploid generations alternate in plant life cycles • Haploid gametophyte produces eggs and sperm by mitosis • Fertilization results in a diploid zygote • Zygote develops into the diploid sporophyte, which produces haploid spores by meiosis • Spores grow into gametophytes Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings LE 17-4 Key Haploid (n) Gametophyte plant (n) Diploid (2n) Sperm Spores (n) Gametes (n) Meiosis Egg Fertilization Zygote (2n) Sporophyte plant (2n) 17.5 Mosses have a dominant gametophyte • A mat of moss is mostly gametophytes, which produce eggs and swimming sperm 1. Haploid gametes develop in gametangia 2. After fertilization, diploid zygote remains in the gametophyte 3. Mitosis produces a smaller sporophyte, which remains attached to the gametophyte Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 4.

Ovulate cone has scales bearing ovules 2. Smaller pollen cones make haploid spores that develop into pollen grains Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 3. Pollination occurs; meiosis occurs in a spore mother cell in the ovule 4. One surviving haploid spore develops into the female gametophyte 5. Tube grows out of each pollen grain and releases sperm near an egg 6. Zygote develops into sporophyte embryo; ovules transform into seeds 7. Seeds disperse, germinate; embryo grows into seedling Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings LE 17-8 A haploid spore cell in ovule develops into female gametophyte, which makes eggs.
