Derived Traits of Plants
Five key traits appear in nearly all land plants but are
absent in the charophytes
a)Alternation of generations
b)Multicellular, dependent embryos
c)Walled spores produced in sporangia
d)Multicellular gametangia
e)Apical meristems

parenchyma:
solid mass of tissue; cells:
1) are elongate to isodiametric;
2) have a primary (1˚) cell wall only (rarely a 2˚ wall);
3) living at maturity, capable of continued cell divisions.

The Ecological and Economic Importance of Mosses
1. Mosses are capable of inhabiting diverse and sometimes extreme
environments, but are especially common in moist forests and
wetlands
a) important role as pioneer organisms
2. Some mosses might help retain nitrogen in the soil
3. Sphagnum is an important global reservoir of organic carbon
a)Peat can be used as a source of fuel
b)Low temperature, pH, and oxygen level of peatlands inhibits decay
of moss and other organisms
c)Overharvesting of Sphagnum and/or a drop in water level in
peatlands could release stored CO2 to the atmosphere
