1 CHAPTER 6 Plantae

2 PROTISTS Protistsare eukaryotes and thus have organelles and are more complex than prokaryotes. Most protistsare unicellular, but there are some colonial and multicellular species

3 Nutrition Protists, the most nutritionally diverse of all eukaryotes, include: Photoautotrophs, which contain chloroplasts Heterotrophs, which absorb organic molecules or ingest larger food particles Mixotrophs, which combine photosynthesis and heterotrophic nutrition

4 Reproduction Protists can reproduce asexually or sexually, or by the sexual processes of meiosis and syngamy

49 Derived Traits of Plants Four key traits appear in nearly all land plants: Alternation of generations (with multicellular, dependent embryos) Walled spores produced in sporangia Multicellular gametangia Apical meristems

50 Additional derived traits such as a cuticle and secondary compounds evolved in many plant species Symbiotic associations between fungi and the first land plants may have helped plants without true roots to obtain nutrients

51 Alternation of Generations Plants alternate between two multicellular stages, a reproductive cycle called alternation of generations The gametophyte is haploid and produces haploid gametes by mitosis Fusion of the gametes gives rise to the diploid sporophyte,which produces haploid spores by meiosis

52 n Mitosis n Gametophyte (n) Spore Gamete Gamete from another plant Mitosis n n MEIOSIS FERTILIZATION 2n Zygote Mitosis Sporophyte (2n) Alternation of generations

53 Walled Spores Produced in Sporangia The sporophyte produces spores in organs called sporangia Diploid cells called sporocytes undergo meiosis to generate haploid spores Spore walls contain sporopollenin, which makes them resistant to harsh environments

54 Spores Sporangium Longitudinal section of Sphagnum sporangium (LM) Sporophyte Gametophyte Sporophytes and sporangia of Sphagnum (a moss)

55 Multicellular Gametangia Gametes are produced within organs called gametangia Female gametangia, called archegonia,produce eggs and are the site of fertilization Male gametangia, called antheridia, are the site of sperm production and release

57 Apical Meristems Plants sustain continual growth in their apical meristems Cells from the apical meristems differentiate into various tissues

58 Apical meristem of shoot Developing leaves Apical meristems Shoot Apical meristem 100 µm of root Root 100 µm

59 The Origin and Diversification of Plants Fossil evidence indicates that plants were on land at least 475 million years ago Fossilized spores and tissues have been extracted from 475-million-year-old rocks

60 (a) Fossilized spores (b) Fossilized sporophyte tissue

61 Those ancestral species gave rise to a vast diversity of modern plants Land plants can be informally grouped based on the presence or absence of vascular tissue Most plants have vascular tissue; these constitute the vascular plants Nonvascular plants are commonly called bryophytes

62 Seedless vascular plants can be divided into clades Lycophytes (club mosses and their relatives) Pterophytes (ferns and their relatives)

63 A seed is an embryo and nutrients surrounded by a protective coat Seed plants form a clade and can be divided into further clades: Gymnosperms, the naked seed plants, including the conifers Angiosperms, the flowering plants

65 1 Origin of land plants (about 475 mya) 2 Origin of vascular plants (about 420 mya) ANCES- TRAL GREEN ALGA 3 1 Origin of extant seed plants (about 305 mya) Liverworts Hornworts Mosses Nonvascular plants (bryophytes) Land plants 2 Lycophytes (club mosses, spike mosses, quillworts) Pterophytes (ferns, horsetails, whisk ferns) Seedless vascular plants Vascular plants 3 Gymnosperms Angiosperms Seed plants Millions of years ago (mya)

66 Bryophytes Bryophytes are represented today by three phyla of small herbaceous (nonwoody) plants: Liverworts, phylum Hepatophyta Hornworts, phylum Anthocerophyta Mosses, phylum Bryophyta Mosses are most closely related to vascular plants

67 Bryophyte Gametophytes In all three bryophyte phyla, gametophytes are larger and longer-living than sporophytes Sporophytes are typically present only part of the time

71 A spore germinates into a gametophyte composed of a protonema and gameteproducing gametophore Rhizoids anchor gametophytes to substrate The height of gametophytes is constrained by lack of vascular tissues Mature gametophytes produce flagellated sperm in antheridia and an egg in each archegonium Sperm swim through a film of water to reach and fertilize the egg

72 Bryophyte Sporophytes Bryophyte sporophytes grow out of archegonia, and are the smallest and simplest sporophytes of all extant plant groups A sporophyte consists of a foot, a seta (stalk), and a sporangium, also called a capsule, which discharges spores through a peristome Hornwort and moss sporophytes have stomata for gas exchange

77 Seedless vascular plants Bryophytes and bryophyte-like plants were the prevalent vegetation during the first 100 million years of plant evolution Vascular plants began to diversify during the Devonian and Carboniferous periods Vascular tissue allowed these plants to grow tall Seedless vascular plants have flagellated sperm and are usually restricted to moist environments

78 Origins and Traits of Vascular Plants Fossils of the forerunners of vascular plants date back about 420 million years These early tiny plants had independent, branching sporophytes Living vascular plants are characterized by: Life cycles with dominant sporophytes Vascular tissues called xylem and phloem Well-developed roots and leaves

79 Sporophytes of Aglaophyton major

80 Life Cycles with Dominant Sporophytes In contrast with bryophytes, sporophytes of seedless vascular plants are the larger generation, as in the familiar leafy fern The gametophytes are tiny plants that grow on or below the soil surface

91 The Evolutionary Advantage of Seeds A seed develops from the whole ovule A seed is a sporophyte embryo, along with its food supply, packaged in a protective coat Seeds provide some evolutionary advantages over spores: They may remain dormant for days to years, until conditions are favorable for germination They may be transported long distances by wind or animals

92 Gymnosperms The gymnosperms have naked seeds not enclosed by ovaries and consist of four phyla: Cycadophyta (cycads) Gingkophyta (one living species: Ginkgo biloba) Gnetophyta (three genera: Gnetum, Ephedra, Welwitschia) Coniferophyta (conifers, such as pine, fir, and redwood)

93 Gymnosperm Evolution Fossil evidence reveals that by the late Devonian period some plants, called progymnosperms, had begun to acquire some adaptations that characterize seed plants

94 Archaeopteris, a progymnosperm

95 Living seed plants can be divided into two clades: gymnosperms and angiosperms Gymnosperms appear early in the fossil record and dominated the Mesozoic terrestrial ecosystems Gymnosperms were better suited than nonvascular plants to drier conditions Today, cone-bearing gymnosperms called conifers dominate in the northern latitudes

96 Phylum Cycadophyta Individuals have large cones and palmlike leaves These thrived during the Mesozoic, but relatively few species exist today

97 Cycas revoluta

98 Phylum Ginkgophyta This phylum consists of a single living species, Ginkgo biloba It has a high tolerance to air pollution and is a popular ornamental tree

99 Ginkgo biloba (Bạch quả)

100 Ginkgo biloba leaves and fleshy seeds

101 Phylum Gnetophyta This phylum comprises three genera Species vary in appearance, and some are tropical whereas others live in deserts

102 Gnetum (Dây gấm)

103 Ephedra (Ma hoàng)

104 Welwitschia (hai lá)

105 Ovulate cones Welwitschia

106 Phylum Coniferophyta This phylum is by far the largest of the gymnosperm phyla Most conifers are evergreens and can carry out photosynthesis year round

112 The Life Cycle of a Pine Three key features of the gymnosperm life cycle are: Dominance of the sporophyte generation Development of seeds from fertilized ovules The transfer of sperm to ovules by pollen The life cycle of a pine provides an example

113 The pine tree is the sporophyte and produces sporangia in male and female cones Small cones produce microspores called pollen grains, each of which contains a male gametophyte The familiar larger cones contain ovules, which produce megaspores that develop into female gametophytes It takes nearly three years from cone production to mature seed

118 Angiosperms Angiosperms are seed plants with reproductive structures called flowers and fruits They are the most widespread and diverse of all plants

119 Angiosperm Diversity The two main groups of angiosperms are monocots (one cotyledon) and eudicots ( true dicots) The clade eudicot includes some groups formerly assigned to the paraphyletic dicot (two cotyledons) group

120 Monocot Characteristics Eudicot Characteristics Embryos One cotyledon Two cotyledons Leaf venation Veins usually parallel Veins usually netlike Stems Vascular tissue scattered Vascular tissue usually arranged in ring

121 Monocot Characteristics Eudicot Characteristics Roots Root system usually fibrous (no main root) Taproot (main root) usually present Pollen Pollen grain with one opening Pollen grain with three openings Flowers Floral organs usually in multiples of three Floral organs usually in multiples of four or five
