Plants and FungiA Beneficial Partnership Mutually beneficial associations of plant roots and fungi are common
These associations are called mycorrhizae
They may have enabled plants to colonize land

Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Citrus growers face a dilemma


They use chemicals to control disease-causing fungi But these also kill beneficial mycorrhizae

17.1 What is a plant? Plants are multicellular photosynthetic eukaryotes


They share many characteristics with green algae

However, plants evolved unique features as they colonized land

Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

PLANT LEAF performs photosynthesis CUTICLE reduces water loss; STOMATA allow gas exchange

STEM supports plant (and may perform photosynthesis) Surrounding water supports the alga WHOLE ALGA performs photosynthesis; absorbs water, CO2, and minerals from the water ALGA

ROOTS anchor plant; absorb water and minerals from the soil (aided by mycorrhizal fungi)

HOLDFAST anchors the alga Figure 17.1A

Unlike algae, plants have vascular tissue


It transports water and nutrients throughout the plant body

It provides internal support

PLANT EVOLUTION AND DIVERSITY 17.2 Plants evolved from green algae called charophyceans

Molecular studies indicate that green algae called charophyceans are the closest relatives of plants

17.3 Plant diversity provides clues to the evolutionary history of the plant kingdom Two main lineages arose early from ancestral plants

Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

CENOZOIC

Seedless vascular plants (e.g., ferns, horsetails)

Bryophytes (e.g., mosses)

MESOZOIC

Gymnosperms (e.g., conifers)

Origin of plants

Figure 17.3A
Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

One lineage gave rise to bryophytes


These are plants that lack vascular tissue Bryophytes include mosses, which grow in a low, spongy mat

Figure 17.3B
Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Vascular plants are the other ancient lineage Ferns and seed plants were derived from early vascular plants and contain
xylem and phloem well-developed roots rigid stems

Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Ferns are seedless plants whose flagellated sperm require moisture to reach the egg

Figure 17.3C
Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

A major step in plant evolution was the appearance of seed plants


Gymnosperms Angiosperms

These vascular plants have pollen grains for transporting sperm They also protect their embryos in seeds

Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Gymnosperms, such as pines, are called naked seed plants


This is because their seeds do not develop inside a protective chamber

The seeds of angiosperms, flowering plants, develop in ovaries within fruits

Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS AND PLANT LIFE CYCLES 17.4 Haploid and diploid generations alternate in plant life cycles The haploid gametophyte produces eggs and sperm by mitosis
The eggs and sperm unite, and the zygote develops into the diploid sporophyte
Meiosis in the sporophyte produces haploid spores, which grow into gametophytes

CHAPTER 31 Plant Structure, Reproduction, and Development


Modules 31.1 31.4
From PowerPoint Lectures for Biology: Concepts & Connections
Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

PLANT STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION 31.2 The two main groups of angiosperms are the monocots and the dicots

Angiosperms, or flowering plants, are the most familiar and diverse plants
There are two main types of angiosperms
Monocots include orchids, bamboos, palms, lilies, grains, and other grasses Dicots include shrubs, ornamental plants, most trees, and many food crops
Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Monocots and dicots differ in seed leaf number and in the structure of roots, stems, leaves, and flowers
SEED LEAVES
MONOCOTS

LEAF VEINS

STEMS

FLOWERS

ROOTS

One cotyledon

Main veins usually parallel

Vascular bundles in complex arrangement

Floral parts usually in multiples of three

Fibrous root system

DICOTS

Two cotyledons

Main veins usually branched

Vascular bundles arranged in ring

Floral parts usually in Taproot multiples of four or five usually present

Figure 31.2

31.3 The plant body consists of roots and shoots Root system
Provides anchorage Absorbs and transports minerals and water Stores food

Root hairs increase the surface area for absorption

Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Shoot system
Consists of stems, leaves, and flowers in angiosperms
Stems are located above the ground and support the leaves and flowers Leaves are the main sites of photosynthesis in most plants

Taproot ROOT SYSTEM

Root hairs

Figure 31.3
Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

The terminal bud is located at the tip of a stem


It is the growth point of the stem

Axillary buds can give rise to branches

In apical dominance, the terminal bud produces hormones that inhibit the growth of axillary buds
This results in a taller plant that has greater exposure to light

Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

31.4 Many plants have modified roots and shoots

Roots and stems are adapted for a variety of functions


Storing food

Asexual reproduction
Protection

Plant breeders have improved the yields of root crops by selecting varieties, such as the sugar beet plant, with very large taproots
Figure 31.4A
Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Modified stems include


runners, for asexual reproduction rhizomes, for plant growth and food storage tubers, for food storage in the form of starch

31.6 Three tissue systems make up the plant body Roots, stems, and leaves are made of three tissue systems
The epidermis
The vascular tissue system The ground tissue system

Leaf

Stem

Root Epidermis Ground tissue system Vascular tissue system Figure 31.6A

The epidermis covers and protects the plant


The cuticle is a waxy coating secreted by epidermal cells that helps the plant retain water

The vascular tissue contains xylem and phloem


It provides support and transports water and nutrients

Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

The ground tissue system functions mainly in storage and photosynthesis


It consists of parenchyma cells and supportive collenchyma and sclerenchyma cells

Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

The ground tissue system of the root forms the cortex


The cortex consists mostly of parenchyma tissue

The selective barrier forming the innermost layer of the cortex is the endodermis

The three tissue systems in dicot leaves


The epidermis consist of pores called stomata (singular, stoma) flanked by regulatory guard cells

Figure 31.6D
Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

The ground tissue system of a leaf is called mesophyll and is the site of photosynthesis

Figure 31.6D
Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

The vascular tissue consists of a network of veins composed of xylem and phloem

Figure 31.6D

PLANT GROWTH 31.7 Primary growth lengthens roots and shoots Most plants exhibit indeterminate growth
They continue to grow as long as they live

In contrast, animals are characterized by determinate growth


They cease growing after reaching a certain size

Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Annuals complete their life cycle in a single year or growing season


Examples: wheat, corn, rice, and most wildflowers

Biennials complete their life cycle in two years, with flowering occurring in the second year
Examples: beets and carrots

Perennials live and reproduce for many years


Examples: trees, shrubs, and some grasses
Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Growth in all plants originates in tissues called meristems


Meristems are areas of unspecialized, dividing cells

Apical meristems are located at the tips of roots and in the terminal buds and axillary buds of shoots
They initiate primary growth, lengthwise growth by the production of new cells Roots and stems lengthen further as cells elongate and differentiate

31.8 Secondary growth increases the girth of woody plants An increase in a plant's girth results from secondary growth

Secondary growth involves cell division in two cylindrical meristems


Vascular cambium Cork cambium

Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Vascular cambium thickens a stem by adding layers of secondary xylem, or wood, next to its inner surface
It also produces the secondary phloem, which is a tissue of the bark

Cork cambium produces protective cork cells located in the bark

carpels
Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Petal Figure 31.9A

Sepals are usually green and resemble leaves in appearance


Sepals enclose and protect the flower bud before the flower opens

Petals are often bright and colorful


They attract insects (pollinators)

Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Stamens are the male reproductive organs of plants


Pollen grains develop in anthers, at the tips of stamens

Carpels are the female reproductive organs of plants


The ovary at the base of the carpel houses the ovule

Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

The life cycle of an angiosperm involves several stages


Ovary, containing ovule

Embryo

Fruit, containing seed

Seed dormancy is an important evolutionary adaptation in which growth and development are suspended temporarily
It allows time for a plant to disperse its seeds It increases the chance that a new generation of plants will begin growing only when environmental conditions favor survival

PLANT HORMONES 33.1 Experiments on how plants turn toward light led to the discovery of a plant hormone Hormones coordinate the activities of plant cells and tissues The study of plant hormones began with observations of plants bending toward light
This phenomenon is called phototropism
Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

It was discovered in the 1920s that a hormone was responsible for the signaling Darwin observed
This hormone was dubbed auxin Auxin plays an important role in phototropism
