angiosperm apomorphies Flashcards
Monocot Apomorphies
1) sieve tube plastids with cuneate proteinaceous inclusions of the p2 type 2) Atactostele stem vasculature 3) Parallel venation (most) 4) Single cotyedon
Alismatales
Intravaginal Squamules (trichomes in the axils of sheathing leaves) - not an ap.
Asparagales
Seeds with seed coat containing black substance called phytomelan
Commelinids
Posses a class of organic acids (coumaric, diferulic, ferulic) that impregnate thecells and make them uv-fluorescent
Zingiberales
1) penni-parallel leaf venation 2) Supervolate ptyxis 3) diaphramed air chambers in stem and leaves
Eudicot Apomorphies
1) molecular data 2) tricolpate pollen
Caryophyllales
1) camphylotropus ovules and perispermous seeds 2) sieve tube plastids with protein crystalloid inclusions surrounded by preoteinaceous filaments 3) betalains (pigmented compounds replace anthoaganins)
Rosids
-Molecular data -Tend to have bitegmic, crassinucellate ovules
Myrtales
Inferior ovary with a hypanthium
Fagales
Most monoecious and wind pollinated
Brassicales
Glucosinolate secondary compounds
Malvaceae
most with lysigenous mucilage canals
Asterids
1) Iridoid compounds 2)sympetalous corollas 3) unitegmic tenuincellate ovules
1) sieve tube plastids with cuneate proteinaceous inclusions of the p2 type 2) Atactostele stem vasculature 3) Parallel venation (most) 4) Single cotyedon
