Botany Lec Flashcards
2 purpose of reproduction
1- to perpetuate identical child plants by asexual reproduction
2- to perpetuate varied child plants by sexual reproduction
Cell division and differentiation
Cytokinin
Growth stop
Indolacetic acid IAA AUXIN
Germination, elongation
Gibberelic acid
Seed dormancy, drought resistance
Abscissic acid
Ripening, stress response, leaf abcission
Ethylene
The plant has 2 phases/generations/alterants
Gametophyte (n)
Sporophyte (2n)
Diphasic
The 2 alterants are different in appearance
Heteromorphic
Haploid cell egg and haploid sperm cell unite to form diploid zygote
Fertilization or syngamy
In the anther undergo meiotic division
Microspore mother cells or
microsporocytes
A microspore is produced is nursed by
tapetum
A microspore mitotic division and produces
2 sperm nuclei and a pollen tube nucleus
The pollen nucleus will elongate when the pollen reach the stigma
Allowing the sperm cells to enter the ovule
Microgametophyte
Intricate cell wall
Exine outer layer having sporopollenin
A substance that prevent the pollen from drying up and inner intine layer
Sporopollenin
Megagametophytes
Venue for the whole fertilization process
Syngamy consists of 2 parts
1 plasmogamy or protoplasm fusion
2 karyogamy or nuclei fusion
Fertilization
1- the pollen reaches out its egg cells through the pollen tube
Fertilization
2- First fertilization
The first sperm reaches through the microphyle through the synergids and final to the egg. They fertilize and give rise to the zygote, later the embryo
Fertilization
3- second fertilization
The second sperm cell reaches the polar nuclei at the center, but no karyogamy occurs in resulting cell is tripod(2n). This will become the primary endosperm later the permanent endosperm
Fertilization
4- after 2 fertilization, the ovule will slowly develop its embryo and the three shape defined stages will come:
A- globular stage
B- heart stage
C- torpedo stage
Germination
drying
Up to 95% of the seed body
imbibition
Absorption of water by hydrophilic parts of the seed
Germination
4- growth of the radicle
Become the primary root
Egg cell (fertilized)

Dispersal
Is not part of the plant structural development, the young ppant will not be able to separate itself from the parent plant
It is an essential part of the plants life cycle
Though dispersal, plants learned to adapt to their agents and agents adapt to the plants, this mutulaistic relationship is called CO-EVOLUTION
The first form of dispersal in within the pre syngamy stage
Pollination
Pollination leads to
Fertilization
Process when the flower frim the same plant pollinates another flower, as well as when a flower pollinates its own self
Self pollination
Process wherein agents or intermediated carry pollen feom one flower to another flower of another plant
This crossing of genes from different plants is the very gowl of sexual reproduction in plants through flower, seeds and fruits
Cross pollination
Depend on the wind for pollination, showy petals are not really required
ANEMOPHYLLOUS FLOWER
Depends on animals for pollination
ZOOPHYLLOUS FLOWER
Depends on insects for pollination
ENTEROPHYLLOUS FLOWER
Seeds dispersed by its own fruit
Explosive mechanism
AUTHOCHORY

Mutualistic relationship between plants and agents
Co-evolution

Shaking of the fruit
Dutchman’s pipe
Pollen tube will constitute
Vegetative cell
Sperm nuclei will constitue
Generative cell
Megaspores mother cells
Megasporocytes
4 nuclei are produced but 1 remains to grow into magaspores nursed by
Nucellus or Parenchyma cells in the ovule
Megaspores undergo 3 mitotic divisions to produce
8 nuclei
8 nuclei become 7 cells and will become
1 egg cell
2 synergids
1 binucleate polar cell
3 anti podal cell
Autochory
