Q

inconspicuous flowers

A
  1. grasses and other wind pollinated (reduced)
  2. showy parts can be leaves and not petals (poinsettas w flowers in middle)
  3. catkins of trees (windpollination, small bunches)
  4. self fert species (weeds, don’t need to attract pollinator)

Q

anther in life cycle

A

hold microsporocytes aka microspore mother cells
4 microsporangia in 2 pairs
split at junction when mature, spread pollen
microspore mother cells (2n) divide via meiosis to form tetrads of haploid pollen grains

19
Q

angiosperm pollen

A

3 cells! super reduced male gametophyte
gymno pollen had 5 cells
has tube cell and generative cell

20
Q

megagametophyte angiosperm

A

heterosporous
4 megaspores with 3 degenerating
divides 3 times resulting in cell with 8 nuclei
cell walls form 7 cells
one cell has 2 nuclei (polar nuceli, binucleate)
NO archegonia

21
Q

cell walls of female gametophyte angio

A

form 7 cells, 3 at the walls
3 antipodals
2 synergids (same end as micropyle, between is the egg cell)

22
Q

fertiliz angio

A

after pollination, pollen germ and mature male gametophye grows to female gametophye
pollen tube grows through papilla on stigma on the style

23
Q

pollen tube

A

tube nucleus controls growth
coils around ovule to reach micropyle
only living cells on the growing end

24
Q

synergids

A

2 cells in the megagametophyte
secrete to direct pollen tube and rupture of pollen tube to release sperm
surround egg cell
on side with micropyle

25
Q

double fertiliz

A
  1. one sperm nucleus fuses with egg (dip zygote)

2. other sperm nuc fuses with the 2 polar nuclei (triploid)

26
Q

double fertiliz in gnetophyte

A

common in some but a bit different
ephedra
supports sister theory
anthophyte hypothesis

27
Q

ovule develop

A

into seed
zygote to embryo (2n) = new sporophyte
embryonic leaves, cotyledon, primary root

28
Q

ovary develop

A

sperm + 2 polar nuclei –> endosperm (3n) = nutrient tissue

fruit! seed coat

29
Q

darwin abominable mystery

A

sudden rapid diversification of flowering plants

there is a long unrecorded history of angiosperms prior to creetaceous (not in fossil record)

30
Q

new caledonia

A

island off the coast of australia
basal angiosperm (amborella trichopoda)
possible diversification here with no clear fossil record

31
Q

rapid diversific due to pollinator

A

gaston de saporta
relationship with insect
explosion of pollinator and flowering at same time
co-radiation/co-diversification

32
Q

flowers of basal angiosperms

A

radially symmetric
white or red/maroon
pollinators receive pollen as reward, rarely nectar (bees feed pollen to offspring)
petals/sepal indistinguishable

33
Q

pollinator of basal angio

A

insect pollin occured early (ya happening in gymno)
diptera/flies first
beetle pollination

34
Q

pollinator deceit

A

trick pollinators to come
heat attract pollinator to lay eggs
mimic insect to ‘mate’

35
Q

cretaceous flower in fossil record

A

NJ, 90 mya fossil
similar to water lily (nymphaeaeceae)
beetle pollination involves insect entrapment

36
Q

water lily pollination

A

2 openings

  1. female, beetles with pollen come and get trapped
  2. cover with male pollen and send off to pollinate other flowers
37
Q

bat pollination syndrome

A

night, dull white or green
strong, fermented odors
ample nectar reward (larger animal)
desert SW, tropics

38
Q

bee pollination syndrome

A

day, Yellow, blue, purple, UV patterns
light, sweet scent
pollen and nectar reward

39
Q

coevolution btwn plants and pollinator

A

possible explanation of rapid angiosperm diversific

40
Q

darwin’s orchid

A

gradual increase in nectar spur length due to ongoing coevol with same pollinator. 1:1 interaction
insect with hella long tounge

41
Q

pollinator shifts

A

other theory of rapid angiosperm diversific
more often
animals are not a ubiquitous distrib
in part of species range, one pollinator becomes predominant and rapid evol for selection of the pollinator
punctuated change due to pollination shift

42
Q

columbine genus (aquilegia)

A

nectar spurs. tested pollinator hypoth
pollination syndromes related to floral traits
nearly non-overlapping distrib of spur lengths among pollination syndromes
bee, humming bird, hawkmoth

43
Q

hummingbird intermediate

A

between bee to hawkmoth
eurasia
cannot jump to optimal size for hawkmoth
bird necesary!!

44
Q

pollinator limitation

A

shift reproductive strategy
wind pollination
selfing
switch to new pollinator

45
Q

wind pollination syndrome

A

lots of flowers, many pollen grains, unisexual flowers (don’t have both parts), open habitats (before leaves on trees)
ragweed, oak, bamboo

46
Q

self-pollination evol

A
from outcrossing
do not separate by time (dichogamy)
1. colonizing species ('weedy')
2. marginal habitats  (edge of range, fewer plants and pollinators)
3. annual life history (one shot)
arabidopsis thaliana
