2 Are Plants Computers? Romanesco grows according to a repetitive program The development of plants depends on the environment and is highly adaptive Monocots and eudicots are the two major groups of angiosperms

5 Concept 35.1: Plants have a hierarchical organization consisting of organs, tissues, and cells Plants have organs composed of different tissues, which in turn are composed of different cell types An organ consists of several types of tissues that together carry out particular functions A tissue is a group of cells consisting of one or more cell types that together perform a specialized function

6 The Three Basic Plant Organs: Roots, Stems, and Leaves Basic morphology of vascular plants reflects their evolution as organisms that draw nutrients from below ground and above ground Plants take up water and minerals from below ground Plants take up CO 2 and light from above ground

7 Three basic organs evolved: roots, stems, and leaves They are organized into a root system and a shoot system

8 Figure 35.2 Reproductive shoot (flower) Apical bud Node Internode Apical bud Vegetative shoot Blade Leaf Petiole Axillary bud Stem Taproot Shoot system Lateral (branch) roots Root system

9 Roots rely on sugar produced by photosynthesis in the shoot system Shoots rely on water and minerals absorbed by the root system

10 Roots A root is an organ with important functions Anchoring the plant Absorbing minerals and water Storing carbohydrates The primary root is the first root to emerge The primary root branches to form lateral roots, which improve anchorage and water absorption

11 Tall plants with large shoot masses have a taproot system The taproot develops from the primary root and prevents the plant from toppling; lateral roots are responsible for absorption Small or trailing plants generally have a fibrous root system, which consists of Adventitious roots that arise from stems or leaves Lateral roots that arise from the adventitious roots

12 In most plants, absorption of water and minerals occurs near the tips of roots Root hairs near the root tip increase the surface area of the root

13 Figure 35.3

14 Many plants have root adaptations with specialized functions

20 Figure 35.4e Buttress roots

21 Stems A stem is an organ consisting of An alternating system of nodes, the points at which leaves are attached Internodes, the stem segments between nodes

22 The growing shoot tip, or apical bud, causes elongation of a young shoot An axillary bud is a structure that has the potential to form a lateral branch, thorn, or flower

23 Many plants have modified stems (e.g., rhizomes, stolons, tubers)

25 Figure 35.5a Rhizome Root Rhizomes

26 Figure 35.5b Stolon Stolons

27 Figure 35.5c Tubers

28 Leaves The leaf is the main photosynthetic organ of most vascular plants Leaves intercept light, exchange gases, dissipate heat, and defend the plant from herbivores and pathogens Leaves generally consist of a flattened blade and a stalk called the petiole, which joins the leaf to a node of the stem

29 Monocots and eudicots differ in the arrangement of veins, the vascular tissue of leaves Most monocots have parallel veins Most eudicots have branching veins In classifying angiosperms, taxonomists may use leaf morphology as a criterion

36 Figure 35.7d Storage leaves Storage leaves Stem

37 Dermal, Vascular, and Ground Tissue Systems Each plant organ has dermal, vascular, and ground tissues Each of these three categories forms a tissue system Each tissue system is continuous throughout the plant

38 Figure 35.8 Dermal tissue Ground tissue Vascular tissue

39 In nonwoody plants, the dermal tissue system consists of the epidermis A waxy coating called the cuticle helps prevent water loss from the epidermis In woody plants, protective tissues called periderm replace the epidermis in older regions of stems and roots Trichomes are outgrowths of the shoot epidermis and can help with reducing water loss and insect defense

40 Figure 35.9 Trichomes 300 μm

41 The vascular tissue system facilitates the transport of materials through the plant and provides mechanical support The two vascular tissues are xylem and phloem Xylem conducts water and dissolved minerals upward from roots into the shoots Phloem transports sugars from where they are made to where they are needed

42 The vascular tissue of a root or stem is collectively called the stele In angiosperms the stele of the root is a solid central vascular cylinder The stele of stems and leaves is divided into vascular bundles, strands of xylem and phloem

43 Tissues that are neither dermal nor vascular are the ground tissue system Ground tissue internal to the vascular tissue is pith; ground tissue external to the vascular tissue is cortex Ground tissue includes cells specialized for storage, photosynthesis, support, and transport

44 Common Types of Plant Cells As in any multicellular organism, a plant is characterized by cellular differentiation, the specialization of cells in structure and function

45 The major types of plant cells are Parenchyma Collenchyma Sclerenchyma Water-conducting cells of the xylem Sugar-conducting cells of the phloem

46 Parenchyma Cells Mature parenchyma cells Have thin and flexible primary walls Lack secondary walls Are the least specialized Perform the most metabolic functions Retain the ability to divide and differentiate

47 Figure 35.10a Parenchyma cells in a privet (Ligustrum) leaf (LM) 25 μm

48 Collenchyma Cells Collenchyma cells are grouped in strands and help support young parts of the plant shoot They have thicker and uneven cell walls These cells provide flexible support without restraining growth

49 Figure 35.10b Collenchyma cells (in Helianthus stem) (LM) 5 μm

50 Sclerenchyma Cells Sclerenchyma cells are rigid because of thick secondary walls strengthened with lignin, an indigestible strengthening polymer They are dead at functional maturity There are two types Sclereids are short and irregular in shape and have thick lignified secondary walls Fibers are long and slender and arranged in threads

52 Figure 35.10ca 5 μm Sclereid cells in pear (LM) Cell wall

53 Figure 35.10cb 25 μm Fiber cells (cross section from ash tree) (LM)

54 Water-Conducting Cells of the Xylem The two types of water-conducting cells, tracheids and vessel elements, are dead at maturity Tracheids are found in the xylem of all vascular plants

56 Figure 35.10da Vessel Tracheids 100 μm Tracheids and vessels (colorized SEM)

57 Vessel elements are common to most angiosperms and a few gymnosperms Vessel elements align end to end to form long micropipes called vessels

58 Sugar-Conducting Cells of the Phloem Sieve-tube elements are alive at functional maturity, though they lack organelles Sieve plates are the porous end walls that allow fluid to flow between cells along the sieve tube Each sieve-tube element has a companion cell whose nucleus and ribosomes serve both cells

64 Concept 35.2: Different meristems generate new cells for primary and secondary growth A plant can grow throughout its life; this is called indeterminate growth Meristems are perpetually embryonic tissue and allow for indeterminate growth Some plant organs cease to grow at a certain size; this is called determinate growth

65 There are two main types of meristems: apical meristems and lateral meristems Apical meristems are located at the tips of roots and shoots Apical meristems elongate shoots and roots, a process called primary growth

66 Lateral meristems add thickness to woody plants, a process called secondary growth There are two lateral meristems: the vascular cambium and the cork cambium The vascular cambium adds layers of vascular tissue called secondary xylem (wood) and secondary phloem The cork cambium replaces the epidermis with periderm, which is thicker and tougher

67 Figure Primary growth in stems Epidermis Shoot tip (shoot apical meristem and young leaves) Axillary bud meristem Root apical meristems Vascular cambium Cork cambium Lateral meristems Cork cambium Periderm Pith Primary xylem Secondary xylem Cortex Secondary growth in stems Primary phloem Primary xylem Pith Cortex Primary phloem Secondary phloem Vascular cambium

69 Figure 35.11b Primary growth in stems Epidermis Cortex Primary phloem Primary xylem Pith Secondary growth in stems Periderm Pith Primary xylem Secondary xylem Cortex Primary phloem Secondary phloem Vascular cambium

70 Meristems give rise to Initials, also called stem cells, which remain in the meristem Derivatives, which become specialized in mature tissues In woody plants, primary growth and secondary growth occur simultaneously but in different locations

72 Flowering plants can be categorized based on the length of their life cycle Annuals complete their life cycle in a year or less Biennials require two growing seasons Perennials live for many years

73 Concept 35.3: Primary growth lengthens roots and shoots Primary growth arises from cells produced by apical meristems and elongates parts of the root and shoot systems

74 Primary Growth of Roots The root tip is covered by a root cap, which protects the apical meristem as the root pushes through soil Growth occurs just behind the root tip, in three zones of cells Zone of cell division Zone of elongation Zone of differentiation, or maturation

77 Video: Root Growth in a Radish Seed (Time Lapse)

78 The primary growth of roots produces the epidermis, ground tissue, and vascular tissue In angiosperm roots, the stele is a vascular cylinder In most eudicots, the xylem is starlike in appearance with phloem between the arms In many monocots, a core of parenchyma cells is surrounded by rings of xylem then phloem

82 Figure 35.14c Endodermis Pericycle Xylem Phloem 70 μm Ground Vascular

83 The ground tissue, mostly parenchyma cells, fills the cortex, the region between the vascular cylinder and epidermis The innermost layer of the cortex is called the endodermis The endodermis regulates passage of substances from the soil into the vascular cylinder

84 Lateral roots arise from within the pericycle, the outermost cell layer in the vascular cylinder

91 Primary Growth of Shoots A shoot apical meristem is a dome-shaped mass of dividing cells at the shoot tip Leaves develop from leaf primordia along the sides of the apical meristem Axillary buds develop from meristematic cells left at the bases of leaf primordia

92 Figure Leaf primordia Young leaf Shoot apical meristem Developing vascular strand Axillary bud meristems 0.25 mm

93 The closer an axillary bud is to the active apical bud, the more inhibited it is Axillary buds are released from this apical dominance if the shoot tip is removed or shaded In some monocots, meristematic activity occurs at the bases of stems and leaves

94 Tissue Organization of Stems Lateral shoots develop from axillary buds on the stem s surface In most eudicots, the vascular tissue consists of vascular bundles arranged in a ring

97 Figure 35.17b Ground tissue Epidermis Vascular bundles 1 mm (b) Cross section of stem with scattered vascular bundles (typical of monocots) (LM) Dermal Ground Vascular

98 In most monocot stems, the vascular bundles are scattered throughout the ground tissue, rather than forming a ring

99 Tissue Organization of Leaves The epidermis in leaves is interrupted by stomata, pores that allow CO 2 and O 2 exchange between the air and the photosynthetic cells in a leaf Stomata are also major avenues for evaporative loss of water Each stomatal pore is flanked by two guard cells, which regulate its opening and closing

100 The ground tissue in a leaf, called mesophyll, is sandwiched between the upper and lower epidermis The mesophyll of eudicots has two layers The palisade mesophyll in the upper part of the leaf The spongy mesophyll in the lower part of the leaf; the loose arrangement allows for gas exchange

101 The vascular tissue of each leaf is continuous with the vascular tissue of the stem Veins are the leaf s vascular bundles and function as the leaf s skeleton Each vein in a leaf is enclosed by a protective bundle sheath

106 Concept 35.4: Secondary growth increases the diameter of stems and roots in woody plants Many land plants display secondary growth, the growth in thickness produced by lateral meristems Secondary growth is characteristic of gymnosperms and many eudicots, but not monocots

107 Secondary growth occurs in stems and roots of woody plants but rarely in leaves Secondary growth consists of the tissues produced by the vascular cambium and cork cambium Primary growth and secondary growth occur simultaneously

113 The Vascular Cambium and Secondary Vascular Tissue The vascular cambium, a cylinder of meristematic cells one cell layer thick, is wholly responsible for the production of secondary vascular tissue It develops from undifferentiated parenchyma cells

114 In a typical woody stem, the vascular cambium is located outside the pith and primary xylem and to the inside of the primary phloem and the cortex In a typical woody root, the vascular cambium forms exterior to the primary xylem and interior to the primary phloem and pericycle

115 In cross section, the vascular cambium appears as a ring of meristematic cells Division of these cells increases the vascular cambium s circumference and adds secondary xylem to the inside and secondary phloem to the outside

116 Figure Vascular cambium X X Growth X C P P X C P Secondary xylem Vascular cambium Secondary phloem X C P X C C After one year of growth After two years of growth

117 Elongated initials produce tracheids, vessel elements, fibers of xylem, sieve-tube elements, companion cells, axially oriented parenchyma, and fibers of the phloem Shorter initials produce vascular rays, radial files of parenchyma cells that connect secondary xylem and phloem

118 Secondary xylem accumulates as wood and consists of tracheids, vessel elements (only in angiosperms), and fibers Early wood, formed in the spring, has thin cell walls to maximize water delivery Late wood, formed in late summer, has thickwalled cells and contributes more to stem support

119 Tree rings are visible where late and early wood meet, and can be used to estimate a tree s age Dendrochronology is the analysis of tree ring growth patterns and can be used to study past climate change

120 Figure Ring-width indexes Year

121 As a tree or woody shrub ages, the older layers of secondary xylem, the heartwood, no longer transport water and minerals The outer layers, known as sapwood, still transport materials through the xylem Older secondary phloem sloughs off and does not accumulate

122 Figure Growth ring Vascular ray Secondary xylem Heartwood Sapwood Vascular cambium Bark Secondary phloem Layers of periderm

123 Figure 35.23

124 The Cork Cambium and the Production of Periderm Cork cambium gives rise to cork cells that accumulate to the exterior of the cork cambium Cork cells deposit waxy suberin in their walls, then die The cork cambium and the tissues it produces compose a layer of periderm

125 Lenticels in the periderm allow for gas exchange between living stem or root cells and the outside air Bark consists of all the tissues external to the vascular cambium, including secondary phloem and periderm

126 Evolution of Secondary Growth In the herbaceous plant Arabidopsis, the addition of weights to the plants triggered secondary growth This suggests that stem weight is the cue for wood formation

127 Concept 35.5: Growth, morphogenesis, and cell differentiation produce the plant body Cells form specialized tissues, organs, and organisms through the process of development Developmental plasticity describes the effect of environment on development For example, the aquatic plant fanwort forms different leaves depending on whether or not the apical meristem is submerged

128 Figure 35.24

129 Development consists of growth, morphogenesis, and cell differentiation Growth is an irreversible increase in size Morphogenesis is the development of body form and organization Cell differentiation is the process by which cells with the same genes become different from each other

130 Model Organisms: Revolutionizing the Study of Plants New techniques and model organisms are catalyzing explosive progress in our understanding of plants Arabidopsis is a model organism and the first plant to have its entire genome sequenced Arabidopsis has 27,000 genes divided among five pairs of chromosomes

131 Figure 35.UN02

132 Arabidopsis is easily transformed by introducing foreign DNA via genetically altered bacteria Studying the genes and biochemical pathways of Arabidopsis will provide insights into plant development, a major goal of systems biology

136 Figure Agrobacterium tumefaciens 3 Ti plasmid 2 Site where restriction enzyme cuts DNA with the gene of interest T DNA Recombinant Ti plasmid Plant with new trait

137 Growth: Cell Division and Cell Expansion By increasing cell number, cell division in meristems increases the potential for growth Cell enlargement accounts for the actual increase in plant size

138 The Plane and Symmetry of Cell Division New cell walls form in a plane (direction) perpendicular to the main axis of cell expansion The plane in which a cell divides is determined during late interphase Microtubules become concentrated into a ring called the preprophase band that predicts the future plane of cell division

139 Figure Preprophase band 7 μm

140 Leaf growth results from a combination of transverse and longitudinal cell divisions It was previously thought that the plane of cell division determines leaf form A mutation in the tangled-1 gene that affects longitudinal divisions does not affect leaf shape

141 Figure μm Leaf epidermal cells of wild-type maize Leaf epidermal cells of tangled-1 maize mutant

142 Figure 35.27a 30 μm Leaf epidermal cells of wild-type maize

143 Figure 35.27b 30 μm Leaf epidermal cells of tangled-1 maize mutant

144 The symmetry of cell division, the distribution of cytoplasm between daughter cells, determines cell fate Asymmetrical cell division signals a key event in development For example, the formation of guard cells involves asymmetrical cell division and a change in the plane of cell division

145 Figure Asymmetrical cell division Unspecialized epidermal cell Guard cell mother cell Developing guard cells

146 Polarity is the condition of having structural or chemical differences at opposite ends of an organism For example, plants have a root end and a shoot end Asymmetrical cell divisions play a role in establishing polarity

147 The first division of a plant zygote is normally asymmetrical and initiates polarization into the shoot and root The gnom mutant of Arabidopsis results from a symmetrical first division

148 Figure 35.29

149 Orientation of Cell Expansion Plant cells grow rapidly and cheaply by intake and storage of water in vacuoles Plant cells expand primarily along the plant s main axis Cellulose microfibrils in the cell wall restrict the direction of cell elongation

150 Figure Cellulose microfibrils Expansion Nucleus Vacuoles 5 μm

151 Figure 35.30a

152 Figure 35.30b 5 μm

153 Morphogenesis and Pattern Formation Pattern formation is the development of specific structures in specific locations Two types of hypotheses explain the fate of plant cells Lineage-based mechanisms propose that cell fate is determined early in development and passed on to daughter cells Position-based mechanisms propose that cell fate is determined by final position

154 Experiments suggest that plant cell fate is established late in development and depends on cell position In contrast, cell fate in animals is largely lineage dependent

155 Hox genes in animals affect the number and placement of appendages in embryos A plant homolog of Hox genes called KNOTTED-1 does not affect the number or placement of plant organs KNOTTED-1 is important in the development of leaf morphology

156 Figure 35.31

157 Figure 35.31a

158 Figure 35.31b

159 Gene Expression and the Control of Cell Differentiation Cells of a developing organism synthesize different proteins and diverge in structure and function even though they have a common genome Cellular differentiation depends on gene expression, but is determined by position Positional information is communicated through cell interactions

160 Gene activation or inactivation depends on cell-tocell communication For example, Arabidopsis root epidermis forms root hairs or hairless cells depending on the number of cortical cells it is touching

161 Figure Cortical cells GLABRA-2 is expressed, and the cell remains hairless. GLABRA-2 is not expressed, and the cell will develop a root hair. 20 μm The root cap cells will be sloughed off before root hairs emerge.

162 Shifts in Development: Phase Changes Plants pass through developmental phases, called phase changes, developing from a juvenile phase to an adult phase Phase changes occur within the shoot apical meristem The most obvious morphological changes typically occur in leaf size and shape

163 Figure Leaves produced by adult phase of apical meristem Leaves produced by juvenile phase of apical meristem

164 Genetic Control of Flowering Flower formation involves a phase change from vegetative growth to reproductive growth It is triggered by a combination of environmental cues and internal signals Transition from vegetative growth to flowering is associated with the switching on of floral meristem identity genes

165 In a developing flower, the order of each primordium s emergence determines its fate: sepal, petal, stamen, or carpel Plant biologists have identified several organ identity genes (plant homeotic genes) that regulate the development of floral pattern These are MADS-box genes A mutation in a plant organ identity gene can cause abnormal floral development

166 Figure Ca St Pe Pe Se Se Normal Arabidopsis flower Pe Pe Se Abnormal Arabidopsis flower

167 Figure 35.34a Ca St Pe Se Normal Arabidopsis flower

168 Figure 35.34b Pe Se Pe Pe Se Abnormal Arabidopsis flower

169 Researchers have identified three classes of floral organ identity genes The ABC hypothesis of flower formation identifies how floral organ identity genes direct the formation of the four types of floral organs An understanding of mutants of the organ identity genes depicts how this model accounts for floral phenotypes
