    Lecture #13 Date _______

    • Chapter #29 ~
    Plant Diversity I: The
    Colonization of Land
    Plant Evolution
    • bryophytes (mosses),
    pteridophytes (ferns),
    gymnosperms (pines and conifers);
    angiosperms (flowering plants)
    • Plants: multicellular, eukaryotic,
    photosynthetic autotrophs
    • Terrestrial colonization:
    • Vascular tissue
    • The seed
    • The flower
    Plant origins
    • Charophytes: green algae
    (closest plant ancestor)
    • Similarities:
    • 1-Homologous chloroplasts:
    chlorophyll a & b
    • 2- Biochemical similarity
    cellulose composition;
    peroxisomes
    • 3- Cell division similarity
    mitosis; cytokinesis
    • 4- Sperm similarity
    ultrastructure
    • 5- Genetic relationship nuclear
    genes; rRNA
    Characteristics that separate plants from algae ancestors

    • Apical meristems:
    localized regions of cell
    division
    • Multicellular, dependent
    embryos (embryophytes)
    • Alternation of generations
    • Walled spores produced in
    sporangia
    • Multicellular gametangia
    Other terrestrial adaptations

    • Cuticle
    • Stomata
    • Xylem and phloem
    • Secondary compounds
    Bryophytes

    • Mosses, liverworts, and hornworts


    • 1st to exhibit the embryonic
    condition (male = antheridium;
    female = archegonium)
    • Flagellated (water) sperm
    • No vascular tissue (imbibe water)
    • No lignin (short stature)
    • Haploid gametophyte is the
    dominant generation
    Pteridophytes: seedless vascular plants

    • Ferns, club ‘moss’, horsetails


    • True roots and leaves
    • Roots have lignified vascular tissue
    • Sporophyte-dominant life cycle
    • Homosporous plants: a single type
    of spore….
    • Sporophyte---->Single type of spore
    ---->Bisexual gametophyte
    ---->Eggs; sperm (flagellated; damp
    locations)
    • Carboniferous period plants
