Plants Chapter 22 Setting the Stage for Plants • Earth’s atmosphere was originally oxygen free • Ultraviolet radiation bombarded the surface • Photosynthetic cells produced oxygen and allowed formation of a protective ozone layer Invading the Land • Cyanobacteria were probably the first to spread into and up freshwater streams • Later, green algae and fungi made the journey together • Every plant is descended from species of green algae The Plant Kingdom • Nearly all are multicelled • Vast majority are photoautotrophs – Energy from sun – Carbon dioxide from air – Minerals dissolved in water 22.1 Evolutionary Trends • 295,00 species of plants • Most plants are vascular-internal tissue conducts water and solutes through roots, stems, and leaves • 19,000 species are nonvascularcalled bryophytes-liverworts, hornworts mosses 22.1 Evolutionary Trends • Seedless vascular plants-wisk ferns, lycophytes, horsetails and ferns • Gymnosperms- cycads, ginkgos, gnetophytes and conifers (seedbearing vascular plants) • Angiosperms-Dicots and monocotstwo classes of flowering plants 22.1 Evolutionary Trends • Simple roots began to form when plants colonized the land. Later became more specialized roots. • Most root systems have many underground absorptive structures with increased surface area. 22.1 Evolutionary Trends • Above grounds shoots evolvedstems, leaves that absorb energy from the sun and carbon dioxide from the air. • Plants changed as they began to move into higher and drier places. 22.1 Evolutionary Trends • Diploid zygote forms at fertilization, mitotic cells divide and cell enlargements convert it into a sporophyte. • After some of its cells undergo meiosis, haploid resting cells (spores) form. 22.1 Evolutionary Trends • Seed-bearing plants produce two types of spores. This condition is known as heterospory. • One type of spore is known as homospory. • In gymnospers and angiosperms, macrospores tive rise to female gametophytes in which eggs form and get fertilized. 22.1 Evolutionary Trends • Smaller microspores are the start of pollen grainscellular structures that become mature, spermbearing male gametophytes. • Pollen grains travel with the help of wind, birds, insects, and other animals. • In drier habitats, seed production also adapted. Female gametophytes of seed-bearing plants form within sporophyte tissue. 22.1 Evolutionary Trends • In most lineages, structural adaption ot life on land included a root system, shoot system, waxy cuticle, stomata, vascular tissues and lignin-reinforced tissue. • Lignin- found in cell walls; an organic compound that helps give plant cell its structure.

(Mosses are sensitive to pollution, but will grow in almost all other environmentsincluding deserts and Antarctica.) Nonvascular Plants Bryophytes Mosses radially symmetrical rhizoids multicellular leaves usually with midrib Thallose liverwort bilaterally symmetrical rhizoids unicellular Bryophytes • Small, nonvascular, nonwooody • Gametophyte dominates life cycle; has leaflike, stemlike, and rootlike parts • Usually live in wet habitats • Flagellated sperm require water to reach eggs Types of Bryophytes Liverworts (simplest) Hornworts Mosses (most common) Marchantia: A Liverwort • Reproduces asexually by way of gemmae cups • Sexual reproduction •Gametophytes are male or female •Gametes are produced on elevated structures Moss Life Cycle Development of mature sporophyte (still attached to gametophyte) Zygote Fertilization Diploid Stage Meiosis Haploid Stage Spores released male gametophyte tip Sperm Egg Male gametophyte female gametophyte tip Female gametophyte Peat Mosses • 350 species • Sphagnum is an example • Grow in acidic bogs; important ecosystems of cold and temperate regions • Peat can be harvested and burned as fuel Seedless Vascular Plants • Like bryophytes – Live in wet, humid places – Require water for fertilization • Unlike bryophytes – Sporophyte is free-living and has vascular tissues Types of Seedless Vascular Plants Whisk ferns (Psilophyta) Lycophytes (Lycophyta) Horsetails (Sphenophyta) Ferns (Pterophyta) Corksonia Ferns (Pterophyta) • 12,000 species, mostly tropical • Most common sporophyte structure – Perennial underground stem (rhizome) – Roots and fronds arise from rhizome – Young fronds are coiled “fiddleheads” – Mature fronds divided into leaflets – Spores form on lower surface of some fronds Fern Life Cycle The sporophyte (still attached to the gametophyte) grows, develops. Sori rhizome zygote Diploid Stage Haploid Stage fertilization meiosis Spores develop. egg sperm eggproducing structure Spores are released mature gametophyte (underside) spermproducing structure gametophyte Spore germinates Nonvascular Plants Bryophytes Thallose liverwort bilaterally symmetrical rhizoids unicellular Liverwort Nonvascular Plants Bryophytes are nonvascular plants with flagellated sperm that require liquid water to reach and fertilize the eggs. A sporophyte of these plants develops within gametophyte tissues. It remains attached to the gametophyte and receives some nutritional support from it. 22.4 Vascular Plants • Majority of plants • Have internal tissues that carry water and solutes • Two groups – Seedless vascular plants – Seed-bearing vascular plants Seedless Vascular Plants • Arose during the Devonian period • Produce spores but no seeds • Four main groups Whisk ferns Lycophytes Horsetails Ferns Seedless Vascular Plants • Most seedless vascular plants live in wet, humid places. Their gametophytes lace vascular tissues. Water clinging to these plants are the only means for flagellated sperm to reach the eggs.
