Chapter 14 Flashcards
Embryogenesis
what is development governed by
gene networks
position
exert strong influence on developmental processes
how does embryogenesis arise
from cell division and expansion instead of movement
where does embryogenesis take place
ovule of all seed plants
apical cell
smaller cell; establishes what it will be
basal cell
tissues that will attach itself to an ovule and you get the suspensor
what are the five stages of Arabidopsis embryogenesis
zygotic, globular, heart, torpedo, mature
what is the globular stage of embryogenesis
globe shaped embryo; multiple division, eventually get the protoderm
what is the zygotic stage of embryogenesis
fusion of gametes
what is the heart shape stage of embryogenesis
cells on either side dip to develop cotyledons
what is the mature stage of embryogenesis
mature embryo, cotyledons are bent, dehydration stage, metabolically inactive
what are the differences between maize embryogenesis and Arabidopsis
maize has a transition, coleoptile, leaf primordia stages instead of heart in the arabidopsis
what is the transition stage of embryogenesis
scutellum develops, certain specializations, SAM coleoptile will be distinct
what happens in the coleoptile stage of embryogenesis
modified structure that forms a tube; distinct SAM and RAM; development of first leaf
what happens during maturation of maize embryo
development of a radicle
