Two types of angiosperms:

17
Plant Structure and Growth
Roots Fibrous roots absorb water well Tap roots hold fast in the ground and store nutrients All roots absorb water mostly at the root tips, through root hairs Adventitious roots prop up tall stems.

19
Plant Structure and Growth
Stems Nodes and internodes Axillary bud by each leaf
20
Plant Structure and Growth
Stems Nodes and internodes Axillary bud by each leaf Terminal bud at the apex Apical dominance
21
Plant Structure and Growth
Stems Nodes and internodes Axillary bud by each leaf Terminal bud at the apex Apical dominance Stolons are “runners.”
22
Plant Structure and Growth
Leaves Main photosynthetic organ Blade and petiole (stalk) simple compound double compound.
23
Plant Structure and Growth
Three main tissue systems: Dermal Vascular (xylem and phloem) Ground.
24
Plant Structure and Growth
Dermal Tissue Single layer of cells over the outside Secretes waxy cuticle
25
Plant Structure and Growth
Vascular tissue Xylem carries water up Phloem carries food down Tracheids and vessel elements in the xylem are dead at functional maturity Sieve tube members and companion cells in the phloem are alive.
26
Plant Structure and Growth
Ground tissue Includes pith and cortex
27
Plant Structure and Growth
Types of plant cells: Parenchyma (unspecialized) Collenchyma (support growing parts of plant) Sclerenchyma (support mature parts of plant) Tracheids (xylem, dead at maturity) Sieve-tube members (phloem.)
28
Plant Structure and Growth
Meristems generate cells for new organs Apical meristems elongate roots and shoots. Lateral meristems add girth to woody plants.
29
Plant Structure and Growth
Bark includes phloem and periderm. Periderm includes cork cells, which form a waxy protective substance.

Plant Structure and Growth
Morphogenesis in plants
31
Plant Structure and Growth
The Plane and Symmetry of Cell Division
32
Plant Structure and Growth
The Plane and Symmetry of Cell Division A band of microtubules called the preprophase band (PPB) determines the plane of cell division
33

The Plane and Symmetry of Cell Division A band of microtubules called the preprophase band (PPB) determines the plane of cell division

The Plane and Symmetry of Cell Division A band of microtubules called the preprophase band (PPB) determines the plane of cell division.
35
Plant Structure and Growth
The Plane and Symmetry of Cell Division The fas mutant has disorganized microtubules and grows into a disorganized plant.

37
Plant Structure and Growth
Orientation of Cell Expansion
38
Plant Structure and Growth
Orientation of Cell Expansion Microfibrils control the direction of cell expansion
39
Plant Structure and Growth
Orientation of Cell Expansion Microfibrils control the direction of cell expansion.
40
Plant Structure and Growth
Orientation of Cell Expansion Plants can expand very quickly because much of the increase in cell volume is just water in the central vacuole.
41
Plant Structure and Growth
Morphogenesis and Pattern Formation Remember the homeotic genes that we learned about in animals?
42
Plant Structure and Growth
Morphogenesis and Pattern Formation Remember the homeotic genes that we learned about in animals? Plants have them too.
43
Plant Structure and Growth
Morphogenesis and Pattern Formation Cells need positional information.
44
Plant Structure and Growth
Morphogenesis and Pattern Formation Cells need positional information. Auxin, a hormone secreted at the tip of the plant, is in less and less concentration the further down you go.
45
Plant Structure and Growth
Morphogenesis and Pattern Formation Cells need positional information. This establishes the root end and the shoot end, and lets the cell know how far down it is.
46
Plant Structure and Growth
Morphogenesis and Pattern Formation Cells need positional information. Another hormone secreted at the surface of the stem is in less concentration the further it you go. This tells the cell how far inside it is.
47
Plant Structure and Growth
Morphogenesis and Pattern Formation Morphogenesis is controlled by homeotic genes
48
Plant Structure and Growth
Morphogenesis and Pattern Formation Morphogenesis is controlled by homeotic genes Mutations in the homeotic genes can cause “supercompound” leaves.
49
Plant Structure and Growth
Plants also undergo phase changes Juvenile growth to mature growth Vegetative growth to reproductive growth (flower formation).
