Evolutionary History of Plants
• Plants are thought to have evolved from freshwater algae over 500 mya.
• Evolution of plants marked by four evolutionary events associated with four major groups of plants.
– Nonvascular Plants
!Advent of nourishment of a multicellular embryo within the body of the female plant.

Alternation of Generations
• All plants have a life cycle that includes an alternation of generations.
– Two multicellular individuals alternate, each producing the other.
!Sporophyte represents diploid generation.
!Gametophyte represents haploid generation.

Alternation of Generations

Alternation of Generations
11
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Alternation of Generations
• Sporophyte (2n) is named for its production of spores by meiosis.
– Spore is haploid reproductive cell.
• Gametophyte (n) is named for its production of gametes.

Reduction in Size of Gametophyte
13
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Alternation of Generations
• Appearance of generations varies widely.!
– In ferns, female portions are archegonia and are fertilized by flagellated sperm.
– In angiosperm, female gametophyte (embryo sac), consists of an ovule.
!Following fertilization, ovule becomes seed.
– In seed plants, pollen grains are mature sperm-bearing male gametophytes.

Protection of Eggs and Embryos
15
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Other Terrestrial Adaptations
• Vascular tissue transports water and nutrients to the body of the plant.
• Cuticle provides an effective barrier to water loss.
• Stomata bordered by guard cells that regulate opening, and thus water loss.
16
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Leaves of Vascular Plants
17
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Nonvascular Plants
• Nonvascular plants (bryophytes) lack specialized means of transporting water and organic nutrients.
– Do not have true roots, stems, and leaves.
– Gametophyte is dominant generation.
!Produces eggs in archegonia and flagellated sperm in antheridia.
"Sperm swim to egg in film of water.
18
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Nonvascular Plants
• Hornworts (phlym Anthocerophyta) have small sporophytes that carry on photosynthesis.
19
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Nonvascular Plants
• Liverworts (phylum Hepatophyta) have either flattened thallus or leafy appearance.

Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Nonvascular Plants
• Mosses (phylum Bryophyta) usually have a leafy shoot, although some are secondarily flattened.
– Can reproduce asexually by fragmentation.
– Dependent sporophyte consists of foot, stalk, and sporangium.

Vascular Plants
• Xylem conducts water and dissolved minerals up from roots.
• Phloem conducts sucrose and other organic compounds throughout the plant.
• Lignin strengthens walls of conducting cells in xylem.

Vascular Plants
• Most seedless vascular plants are homosporous.
– Windblown spores are dispersal agents.
• All seed plants are heterosporous and have male and female gametophytes.
– Seeds disperse offspring.
34
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Seedless Vascular Plants
• Club Mosses (phylum Lycophyta)
– Typically, branching rhizome sends up short aerial stems.
– Leaves are microphylls (have only one strand of vascular tissue).
– Sporangia occur on surfaces of sporophylls.
!Grouped into club-shaped strobili.

Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Seedless Vascular Plants
• Ferns and Allies
– Horsetails (phylum Sphenophyta)
!Rhizome produces tall aerial stems.
!Contains whorls of slender, green branches.
!Small, scalelike leaves also form whorls at the joints.

Ferns
• Whisk Ferns (phylum Psilotophyta)
– Branched rhizome has rhizoids.
– Mutualistic mycorrhizal fungus helps gather nutrients.
• Ferns (phylum Pterophyta)
– Large conspicuous fronds.
!Divided into leaflets.
!Dominant sporophyte produces windblown spores.

Seed Plants
• Seed plants are the most plentiful plants in the biosphere.
– Seed coat and stored food allow an embryo to survive harsh conditions during long period of dormancy.
– Heterosporous
!Drought-resistant pollen grains.
!Ovule develops into seed.
44
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Gymnosperms
• Gymnosperms have ovules and seeds exposed on the surface of sporophylls.
– Confiers
– Cycads
– Ginkgoes
– Gnetophytes
45
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Conifers
• Conifers, as well as other gymnosperm phyla, bear cones.
– Tough, needlelike leaves of pines conserve water with a thick cuticle and recessed stomata.
!Considered a “soft” wood because it consists primarily of xylem tissue.

Cycads
• Cycads (phylum Cycadophyta) have large, finely divided leaves that grow in clusters at the top of the stem.
– Pollen and seed cones on separate plants.
!Pollinated by insects.
51
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Ginkgoes
• Ginkgoes (phylum Ginkgophyta) are dioecious, with some trees producing seeds and others producing pollen.
– One surviving species. (Gingko biloba)
52
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Gnetophytes
• Gnetophytes (phylum Gnetophyta) have similarly structured xylem, while none have archegonia, but strobili have similar construction.
53
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Angiosperms
• Angiosperms (phylum Anthophyta) are an exceptionally large and successful group of plants.
– Ovules are always enclosed within diploid tissues.
– Became dominant group of plants in the late Cretaceous and early Paleogene periods.
54
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Monocots and Eudicots
• Two classes of flowering plants.
– Monocotyledones (Monocots)
!One cotyledon in seed.
– Eudicotyledones (Dicots)
!Two cotyledons in seed.
55
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
The Flower
• Penducle (flower stalk) expands at tip into a receptacle.
– Bears sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels, all attached to receptacle in whorls.
– Calyx (collection of sepals) protect flower bud before it opens.
– Corolla (collection of petals).
56
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
The Flower
– Each stamen consists of an anther and a filament (stalk).
– Carpel has three major regions.
!Ovary - Swollen base.
"Fruit
!Style - Elevates stigma.
!Stigma - Sticky receptor of pollen grains.

Flowers and Diversification
• Wind-pollinated flowers are usually not showy.
• Bird-pollinated flowers are often colorful.
• Night-blooming flowers attract nocturnal mammals or insects.
– Usually white or cream-colored.
• Fruits of flowers protect and aid in dispersal.
– Utilize wind, gravity, water, and animals for dispersal.
