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
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)

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

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

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

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

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

Plant breeders have improved the yields of root crops by selecting varieties, such as the sugar beet plant, with very large taproots

PLANT GROWTH 31.7 Primary growth lengthens roots and shoots Most plants exhibit indeterminate growth
They continue to grow as long as they live
Biennials complete their life cycle in two years, with flowering occurring in the second year
Examples: beets and carrots
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
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

31.11 The ovule develops into a seed After fertilization, the ovule becomes a seed
The fertilized egg within the seed divides to become an embryo The other fertilized cell develops into the endosperm, which stores food for the embryo
Triploid cell
OVULE
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

Phototropism results from faster cell growth on the shaded side of the shoot than on the illuminated side

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
Shoot tip placed on agar block. Chemical (later called auxin) diffuses from shoot tip into agar. Agar Block with chemical stimulates growth.
