Structure of the lecture course
• 22 h of lectures will form one
part of the course, 2 cr.
• On each lecture we will go
through one article concerning
one of the topics dealt with in
the lecture series and consults
some other articles refereed in
that article.
• An examination will take place
on the last day of the lecture
series, 19th April. You may
have all lecture notes with you
at the examination. This
includes the articles presented
during the lecture series. 1 cr.

Introduction to Plant
Developmental
Physiology
Spring 2006
QUESTIONS WE TRY TO ANSWER:
• How does a single cell become a
complex organism?
• What mechanisms / factors control
development?
• Cell fate in order to produce a
functional plant?
• Plant development - plasticity in
response to environmental cues.
Angiosperm development
alternation of generations
(sukupolvenvuorottelu)
• diploid phase = sporophyte
– embryogenesis, germination, primary and
secondary development
– vegetative & reproductive development
– juvenile & adult phase, a phase change
• haploid phase = gametophyte
– megaspore  female gametophyte
– microspore  male gametophyte
Sporophyte development
• Continuous development
– indeterminate & determinate
• plastic development
• regeneration
-totipotency
-phase change
Gametophyte development
• female gametophyte = embryo sac
-carpels: ovary, style & stigma
-ovules: nucellus, integuments, micropyle
• male gametophyte
-microspore mother cells surrounded by
tapetum  meiosis  microspores  pollen
grains
Fertilization
• Pollen grain germinates on a compatible stigma
• Angiosperms have double fertilization
– one sperm cell fuses with the egg cell to produce
zygote
– the other sperm cell fuses with the two
polar nuclei triploid nucleus  endosperm
• After fertilization
–
–
–
–
haploid cells degenerate
ovaries (usually) develop into a fruit
the growing embryo consumes most of the nucellus
integuments remain to form the seed coat
Embryo development in Arabidopsis
Meristem development
Root tip development
Floral development
Leaf development
Development of vasculature
Cambium development
Developmental responses to light
and other environmental cues
-Red and blue light responses (phytochromes,
cryptochromes, phototropins)
-Temperature and gravity reponses
