The Angiosperm Flower
•
•
•
Developing gametophyte generation
completely enclosed within parent sporophyte.
 Pollen grains develop from microspores.
 Embryo sac develops from megaspore.
Male and female structures usually occur
together in same individual flower.
Reproductive structures are not permanent
parts of adult individual.

The Angiosperm Flower
Flower Structure
 Composed of Whorls
- Outermost - Sepals (Calyx)
- Second - Petals (Corolla)
- Third - Stamens (Androecium)
 Anther
- Fourth - Carpel (Gynoecium)
 Stigma, Style, Ovary

Angiosperm Reproduction
•
•
•
Pollen grains develop from microspores
formed in pollen sacs located in the anther.
Eggs develop in ovules, and each ovule
contains a megaspore mother cell.
 Usually only one mother cell survives.
Pollination - Transferring pollen to stigma.
 Self-Pollination
 Pollinators often drawn to nectar
 Wind

Angiosperm Reproduction
•
Fertilization
 Pollen adheres to stigma and begins to
grow pollen tube that pierces the style, and
eventually reaches ovule.
 Double fertilization - two sperm cells used
forming embryo and endosperm.

Angiosperm Life Cycle

Seeds
•
•
In early development of angiosperm embryo,
embryo stops developing and becomes
dormant as a result of drying.
 Outermost covering of ovule develop into
seed coat enclosing dormant embryo and
a stored food source.
- Most metabolic activities cease.
Germination - Resumption of metabolic
activities that leads to growth of mature plant.

Fruit
•
During seed formation, flower ovary begins to
develop into fruit.
 Fleshy fruits often dispersed by vertebrates.
- Excretion via solid waste.

Germination
•
Resumption of metabolic activities and
growth often trigged by water.

Plant Hormones
•
Differentiation in plants is largely reversible.
 Following germination, further development
depends on activities of meristematic
tissues, and environmental interaction.

Plant Hormones
•
Hormones are produced in small quantities
and transported to another part of an organism
to stimulate physiological processes.
 Produced in non-specialized tissues.
- Auxin
- Cytokinins
- Gibberellins
- Ethylene
- Abscisic Acid

Auxin
•
Regulates cell growth in plants, such as that
controlling phototropism.
 Cells in sunlight elongate more than those
in shade.
 Synthetic auxins used to control weeds.
- 2,4-D
- 2,4,5-T

Other Plant Hormones
•
•
Cytokinins
 Stimulates cell division and determines
course of differentiation.
 Promote growth of lateral buds and inhibit
formation of lateral roots.
Gibberellins
 Play major role in stem elongation.

Other Plant Hormones
•
•
Ethylene
 Gas that hastens fruit ripening.
 Can accelerate abscission of leaves or fruits
damaged by various stressors.
Abscisic Acid
 Stimulates leaves to age rapidly and fall off.
 May induce formation of winter buds.

Photoperiodism and Dormancy
•
Photoperiodism - Mechanism by which
organisms measure seasonal changes in
relative day and night length.
 Flowering Responses
- Long-day plants
- Short-day plants
- Day-neutral plants

Tropisms
•
Tropisms - Growth responses of plants to
external stimuli.
 Phototropism - Growth towards directional
sources of light.
 Gravitropism - Stems grow upward and
roots downward.
 Thigmotropism - Response of plants to
touch.
