Q

Origin of land plants

A

Green algae and land plants (collectively referred to as green plants) share a common ancestor a little over 1 BYA.

a single species of freshwater green algae rise to the entire terrestrial plant lineage. exactly what this ancestral alga was is still a mystery, but close relatives, members of the charophytes, exist in freshwater lakes today.

all plants perform photosynthesis, but all photosynthetic organisms are not plants.

Q

Haplodiplontic Life Cycle

A

Multicellular diploid stage – sporophyte
- Produces haploid spores by meiosis.
- Diploid spore mother cells (sporocytes) undergo meiosis in sporangia.
- Produce 4 haploid spores.
- First cells of gametophyte generation.

Multicellular haploid stage – gametophyte
- Spores divide by mitosis.
- Produces gametes by mitosis.
- Gametes fuse to form diploid zygote.
- First cell of next sporophyte generation.

Q

Bryophytes

A

Closest living descendants of the first land plants

3 clades - liverworts, mosses and hornworts

Called nontracheophytes
- They lack tracheids.
- Do have other conducting cells.

Mycorrhizal associations important in enhancing water uptake
- Symbiotic relationship between fungi and plants

Simple, but highly adapted to diverse terrestrial environments. Approximately 16,000 species in 3 clades

Gametophyte – conspicuous and photosynthetic
- Sporophytes – small and dependent.

Require water for sexual reproduction so they are typically found in damp areas

Q

Liverworts (phylum Hepaticophyta)

A

flattened gametophytes with liverlike lobes (Form gametangia in umbrella-shaped structures)

the gametophytes have single celled rhizoids (they function like roots in terms of aiding with absorption, but they are not organs since they are unicellular)

can reproduce asexually

80% look like mosses the other 20% look like lobed liver thingies

some of them have air chambers that have rows of photosynthetic cells, each chambers have a pore at the top facilitating gas exchange, but unlike the stomata the pores of these chambers are always open and cannot be closed.

Q

Mosses (phylum Bryophyta)

A

Gametophytes consist of small, leaflike structures around a stemlike axis

No true leaves – no vascular tissue

No roots, they have rhizoids that absorb water

have stomata on the capsule portion of the sporophyte

water is passively carried up a strand of specialized cells in the center of a moss gametophyte, some of them have special food conducting cells that surround the water conducting cells

(Multicellular gametangia)
Archegonia – Female gametangia.
Antheridia – Male gametangia.
- Flagellated sperm must swim in water.

19
Q

Hornworts (phylum Anthocerotophyta)

A

Origin is puzzling – no fossils until Cretaceous

Sporophyte is photosynthetic

Sporophyte embedded in gametophyte tissue

Cells have a single large chloroplast

typically live in a symbiotic relationship with cyanobacteria which provide them with nitrogen

20
Q

Tracheophyte Plants

A

These are the first plants to have vascularization. (tubes in them)

first appeared about 410 MYA

dominant sporophyte generation

Cooksonia, the first vascular land plant
- Appeared about 420 MYA.
- no competition
- Phylum Rhyniophyta.
- has a vascular system even though no roots and leaves
Only a few centimeters tall
- No roots or leaves.
- Homosporous – only 1 type of spore.

21
Q

Vascular tissues

A

Xylem
- Conducts water and dissolved minerals upward from the roots.

Phloem
- Conducts sucrose and hormones throughout the plant.

Enable enhanced height and size in the tracheophytes

Develops in sporophyte but not gametophyte

Cuticle (waxy substance) and stomata (opens and closes but it has to be careful because as it takes in carbon dioxide it releases water) also found in land plants

22
Q

Tracheophytes

A

Vascular plants include seven extant phyla grouped in three clades

  1. Lycophytes (club mosses) (THEY ARE NOT MOSSES ITS A TYPE OF VASCULAR PLANT)
  2. Pterophytes (ferns, whisk ferns, and horsetails)
  3. Seed plants

Gametophyte has been reduced in size relative to the sporophyte during the evolution of tracheophytes

Similar reduction in multicellular gametangia has occurred as well

23
Q

Stems, Roots, and Leaves

A

Stems (evolved prior to roots)
- Early fossils reveal stems but no roots or leaves.
- Lack of roots limited early tracheophytes.

Roots (evolved at least twice)
- Provide transport and support.
- absorb water
- Lycophytes diverged before true roots appeared.
- true roots are only found in tracheophytes

Leaves (evolved more than once)
- Increase surface area for photosynthesis.
- Evolved twice.
- Euphylls (true leaves) found in ferns and seed plants. (true leaves have a vascular system)
- Lycophylls found in seed plants. (Wolf leaves have one big vein)

24
Q

Seeds

A

Highly resistant and protect the plant embryo

Contain food supply for young plant.

Lycophytes and pterophytes do not have seeds.

25
Q

Lycophytes

A

Sporophyte dominant

leaves are small unbranched veins

Worldwide distribution – abundant in tropics & moist regions

Lack seeds (KNOW THEY HAVE NO SEEDS)

Superficially resemble true mosses (KNOW THEY LOOK LIKE MOSSES BUT ARE NOT)

26
Q

Pterophytes

A

Phylogenetic relationships among ferns and their relatives is still being sorted out

Common ancestor gave rise to 2 clades
- one clade is made up of ferns and horsetails, the other is made up of ferns and whisk ferns

All form antheridia and archegonia

All require free water for flagellated sperm

27
Q

Whisk ferns

A

Found in tropics

Sporophyte consists of evenly forking green stems without true leaves or roots

monophyletic with ferns

Some gametophytes (colorless and very small) develop elements of vascular tissue
- Only gametophytes known to do so.

28
Q

Horsetails

A

Silica deposits in cells – scouring rush

29
Q

Ferns

A

Most abundant group of seedless vascular plants
- About 11,000 species.

Coal formed from forests 300 MYA

Conspicuous sporophyte and much smaller gametophyte are both photosynthetic

THEY HAVE FRONDS

THEY HAVE CLUSTERS OF SPORES FOUND IN SORI

30
Q

Fern Life Cycle

A

Fern life cycle differs from that of a moss

Much greater development, independence, and dominance of the fern’s sporophyte

Gametophyte has no vascular tissue

31
Q

Fern Morphology

A

Sporophytes have rhizomes

Fronds (leaves) develop at the tip of the rhizome as tightly rolled-up coils (“fiddleheads”)

some species have fiddleheads that contain secondary compounds linked to stomach cancer

32
Q

Fern reproduction

A

Produce distinctive sporangia in clusters called sori on the back of the fronds

Diploid spore mother cells in sporangia produce haploid spores by meiosis

Spores germinate into gametophyte

  • Rhizoids but not true roots (no vascular tissue)

Flagellated sperm

gametophyte have no vascular tissue, but sporophyte does
