Dicots
Dicots or dicotyledonous plants have embryos with 2 seed leaves.
Other characteristics of dicots are: 1) Leaves have net shaped venation 2) Vascular bundles are distributed around a
central vascular cambium 3) Flower parts are usually in multiples of
four or five

Major parts of the plant cell
The protoplast includes:• plasma membrane • the cytoplasm• the nucleus • the vacuole
Plasma membrane = plasmalemma • a double membrane, actually a lipid bilayer,
surrounding the cytoplasm and cell organelles.
![Page 13: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Major parts of the plant cell
The cytoplasm = thick liquid within the plasmalemma containing endoplasmic reticulum and plastids of various types.
The endoplasmic reticulum = membranes where proteins are synthesized on ribosomes.
![Page 14: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Major parts of the plant cell
Plastids = capsule-like organelles bound by a double membrane.
Plastid types: Chromoplasts - contain pigments like
chlorophyll (chloroplasts) and several others.
Leucoplasts - colorless and serve as storage bodies for oil, starch and proteins.
![Page 15: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Major parts of the plant cell
Mitochondria - smaller than plastids, double membrane bound.
“Powerhouse” of the cell - involved in respiration and ATP production.• ATP-an energy rich compound.
Mitochondria -also involved in protein synthesis.
![Page 16: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Major parts of the plant cell
The nucleus =the organelle which contains chromosomes; long lengths of DNA containing the genetic code.
Vacuoles - surrounded by a membrane called the tonoplast. • Vacuoles serve as storage for the cell.• Vacuoles also regulate turgor (keep cells
“inflated”)
![Page 17: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Major parts of the plant cell
The primary cell wall - composed mainly of cellulose, pectic substances and lingins. • provides protection for the protoplast and structure for
the plant.
The middle lamella -lies between adjacent cells holding them together.
The secondary cell wall - lies inside the primary wall and is composed of cellulose, lignins, suberins and cutins.

Plant tissues
Plant tissues = large tracts of organized cells of similar structure that perform a collective function.
Meristematic tissue or meristem = actively dividing cells which can differentiate into other tissues and organs.
Permanent tissues= fully differentiated tissues developed from meristems.
![Page 21: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Meristematic Tissues
Apical meristems: 1) shoot apical meristems- Determine leaf patterns and branching habit -
opposite, alternate, spiral Produce primary vascular tissues and stem
tissue May produce terminal flowers or remain
vegetative and continue to grow producing flowers on lateral growth depending on the plant
![Page 22: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Meristematic Tissues
2) root meristems- Found at the root tips Some plants have a dominant taproot which
develops mainly downward with little lateral growth. • Examples include: carrots, beets, oaks and
pecans.
![Page 23: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Meristematic Tissues
Many plants lack a strong tap root and so they develop a well branched fibrous root system. • Grasses, grains and shallow rooted trees are
examples.

Subapical meristems
Subapical meristem -produces new cells a few millimeters behind an active apical meristem. Cells also expand in this area increasing internode length.• Plants that bolt like mustard, and lettuce do so
because of the activity of the subapical meristem.
![Page 26: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Intercalary meristems
Intercalary meristems = meristems separated from other meristematic tissues by older more mature or developed tissue. • Intercalary meristems are located just above the
leaf sheath of grasses and many other monocots.
![Page 27: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Lateral meristems
Lateral meristems = cylinders of actively dividing cells somewhat below the apical or subapical meristem continuing through the plant axis and producing secondary growth.
May be referred to as vascular cambium • produces new xylem and phloem tissue; • the cork cambium produces mainly bark.
![Page 29: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Lateral meristems
The continued increase in diameter of trees and other woody perennials -> lateral meristems.• The “growth rings” that are produced in woody
plants which allow determination of plant age are created by this lateral growth.

Permanent tissues
Simple tissues = permanent tissue composed of only one cell type. • Examples : epidermis, collenchyma,
parenchyma, sclerenchyma and cork.
Complex tissues -composed of of more than one cell type. • Examples are xylem and phloem.
![Page 33: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Simple tissues
The epidermis = single exterior layer of cells that protects plant parts. • The epidermis is often covered with cutin, a waxy
substance that prevents water loss.
Parenchyma tissue -made of living thin walled cells with large vacuoles and flattened sides. • Parenchyma cells retain the ability to become
meristematic and can heal wounds and regenerate other types of tissues.
![Page 34: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Simple tissues
Sclerynchyma tissue - composed of thick walled cells found throughout the plant as fibers and sclerids. • The protoplasts in these cells die eventually.
Sclerynchyma cells are common in bark, stems and nut shells.
Collenchyma tissue- gives support to young petioles, stems and veins of leaves. • Cell walls of collenchyma are thickened cells mainly
made up of cellulose.• A living tissue
![Page 35: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Simple tissues
Cork tissue occurs mainly in the bark, stems, and trunks of trees. • The cell walls are suberized (suberin is a waxy
substance), and the protoplasts are short lived. • As a result cork tissue is mostly dead.
![Page 36: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Complex tissues
Xylem = a complex tissue that conducts water and dissolved minerals in plants. • Xylem can be composed of vessels, tracheids,
fibers and parenchyma.
Vessels = long tubes made up of short vessel members .
![Page 37: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Complex tissues
Tracheids =long, tapered dead cells that conduct water through pits.
Fibers = thick walled sclerenchyma cells that provide support to plants.• Most xylem tissue is missing one or two of
these cell types.

Complex tissues
Phloem -a complex tissue which conducts metabolites (food) from the leaves to stems, flowers, roots and storage organs.• comprised of sieve tubes, sieve tube members,
companion cells, fibers and parenchyma.
![Page 41: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Phloem
Sieve tube members = long slender cells with porous ends called sieve plates and are found only in angiosperms. • Gymnosperms have sieve cells which are
similar but lack the sieve plate.
Companion cells -closely associated with sieve tube members and aid in metabolite conduction.
![Page 42: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Phloem
Phloem fibers - thick walled cells that provide stem support.
• Parenchyma cells in the phloem serve as storage sites.

THE PLANT BODY
Roots- • conduct water and mineral nutrients• support and anchor the plant• May serve as storage organs for
photosynthesized food.
![Page 45: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
THE PLANT BODY
The root cap - a layer of cells that covers the root tip and protects the procambium as the root pushes through the soil. • Cells of the root cap are continually sloughed
off and replaced by new cells to keep the protective layer intact.

More roots…….
The endodermis = a single cell layer found only in the root. • Each cell in the layer is encircled by a
waterproof band called the Casparian strip which does not let water and nutrients between the cells.
In order for the soil solution to get in to the xylem it must travel through the cell itself (protoplasm).
![Page 50: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

And still more roots...
The procambium layer produces : A) The pericycle - the outermost layer of the cells
found just inside the endodermis. • The pericycle is the area where lateral roots are formed
and in some instances the vascular and cork cambium are produced here.
B) The vascular cambium also produces primary xylem and phloem,and in some plants pith.

Adventitious roots
Roots arising from any location other than the primary root (radicle) = adventitious roots.• Adventitious root formation is the basis for
producing many new plants from cuttings .

Stems
From the outside in: Epidermis - a single layer of cells which is
usually cutinized to keep it from drying out. • Stomata are also in this layer to allow for gas exchange.
The cortex lies just inside the epidermis and is made up of collenchyma, parenchyma, sclerenchyma, and secretory cells.
![Page 54: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Stems continued...
Collenchyma cells lie just below the epidermis and add strength to the stem.
Sclerenchyma cells serve a similar purpose. Parenchyma cells may continue to divide and and
form new tissue to heal the stem if it is wounded. Primary phloem is the next layer in dicots
followed by the procambium, xylem and pith.

Leaves
Monocot - parallel veins. Dicot - veins organized in a net like pattern. Leaves primary function is photosynthesis. Leaves secondary function is transpiration.
![Page 61: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Leaf structure
Epidermis is present on the upper and lower leaf surfaces. • usually covered with a waxy cuticle to prevent
tissue desiccation. • Hairs may also be present on the surface to
reduce wind velocity and create a boundary layer.
![Page 62: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Leaf structure
Guard cells =specialized cells which occur in pairs forming stomata which open and close allowing for gas exchange and transpiration. • Stomata are more abundant on the lower leaf
surface in most plants.

Buds
A bud is generally defined as an undeveloped shoot or flower composed mainly of meristematic tissue.
Buds may be :• 1)vegetative- producing shoots• 2) flower • 3) mixed- producing both shoots and flowers.
Adventitious buds are buds arising in places buds don’t normally form. • This allows for propagation by root cuttings in some
plants like sumac.
![Page 68: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Flowers and flower structure
Angiosperms • specialized leaves born on and arranged on the stem
adapted for sexual reproduction = flowers.
Inflorescences = more than one flower attached to the same stalk.
Flowers may be at the top of the stem or in the axils of the leaves farther down the stem.
Flowers can be very useful in plant ID.
![Page 69: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Flowers and flower structure
Complete flowers have four parts: • sepals• petals• stamens • pistil(s)
![Page 70: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Flowers and flower structure
Sepals are the leaf like scales that encircle the other flower parts. • Sepals are usually green, but may also be
colored.
All the sepals together on the flower are termed the calyx.
![Page 71: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Flowers and flower structure
Petals are the next whorl of leaves in from the sepals. • Petals are usually brightly colored and often
contain nectaries which secrete nectar and attract insects.
![Page 72: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Flowers and flower structure
The term for all the petals together is corolla.
The corolla and the calyx together are called the perianth.
![Page 73: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Flowers and flower structure
The next whorl of parts found inward from the petals are the male flower parts known as the stamens.
Each stamen consists of the filament and anther. • The filament is a stalk-like structure supporting the
anther.
• The anther produces pollen.
All the stamens together in the flower form the androecium.
![Page 74: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Flowers and flower structure
The pistil is the female flower structure. The three parts of the pistil are:
• 1) stigma- the receptive “sticky” end that receives the pollen
• 2) style- the tube connected to the stigma;• 3) ovary- the flask shaped structure at the base
of the style.

Flowers and flower structure
Incomplete flowers are flowers that lack one or more of the four parts (sepals, petals, stamens, or pistils.)
Flowers that lack stamens but have pistils are termed pistillate flowers.
![Page 80: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Flowers and flower structure
Similarly, flowers that lack pistils but have stamens are termed staminate flowers.
Imperfect flowers lack either male (stamens) or female (pistils) flower parts. Both staminate and pistillate flowers are
imperfect flowers.

Fruits
A Fruit is a matured ovary and its associated parts.
Most fruits bear seeds, except for those termed parthenocarpic fruits like seedless oranges.

Fruits
Simple fruits are fruits which are formed from a single ovary from one flower.
![Page 88: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Fruits
Most commonly simple fruits are classified as fleshy, semi-fleshy or dry depending on the texture of the mature pericarp.
Aggregate or multiple fruits are formed from several ovaries.
The true fruit is attached to or contained within a receptacle or accessory structure.
![Page 89: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Fruits
Aggregate fruits are formed from one flower with many pistils on the same receptacle, strawberries are an example.
Multiple fruits are formed from many flowers that occur in cluster, pineapples are an example.

Seeds
A seed is a mature ovule with three basic parts: • the embryo• the food storage tissue (endosperm, cotyledons
or perisperm) • seed coats (also known as testa)
![Page 91: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Seeds
The embryo is a plantlet formed within the seed during fertilization. • The embryo has two growing points the
radicle, which is the embryonic root and the plumule (or coleoptile) which is the embryonic shoot.
• One or two cotyledons (seed leaves) are located between the radicle and plumule.
![Page 92: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Seeds
Albuminous seeds store most of their food in the endosperm.
Exalbuminous seeds store most of their food in fleshy cotyledons (like the bean), or occasionally in the perisperm.
Food reserves are in the form of starch, fat, or protein.
![Page 93: 1 Chapter 2 STRUCTURE OF HIGHER PLANTS. 2 Gymnosperms and angiosperms w Gymnosperms have “naked seed” w Most gymnosperms are narrow-leaved evergreen trees](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d345503460f94a0a77e/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Seeds
Seed coats also known as testa are generally tough to protect the embryo. They are formed from the integuments which are the outer layers of the ovule.
The hilum is a scar left on the seed where it was attached to the stalk.
