CHAPTER 17 Plants, Fungi, and the Colonization of Land
Modules 17.1 – 17.3
2
Plants and Fungi—A 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
3
Citrus growers face a dilemma
They use chemicals to control disease-causing fungi But these also kill beneficial mycorrhizae
4
Plants are multicellular photosynthetic eukaryotes
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
5
PLANT LEAF performs photosynthesis CUTICLE reduces water loss; STOMATA allow gas exchange STEM supports plant (and may perform photosynthesis) ALGA Surrounding water supports the alga WHOLE ALGA performs photosynthesis; absorbs water, CO2, and minerals from the water ROOTS anchor plant; absorb water and minerals from the soil (aided by mycorrhizal fungi) HOLDFAST anchors the alga Figure 17.1A
6
Unlike algae, plants have vascular tissue
It transports water and nutrients throughout the plant body It provides internal support Figure 17.1B
7
17.2 Plants evolved from green algae called charophyceans
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 Figure 17.2A, B
8
Cooksonia was one of the earliest vascular land plants
Sporangia Figure 17.2C
9
17.3 Plant diversity provides clues to the evolutionary history of the plant kingdom
Two main lineages arose early from ancestral plants
10
Radiation of flowering plants
CENOZOIC Gymnosperms (e.g., conifers) Angiosperms Seedless vascular plants (e.g., ferns, horsetails) Bryophytes (e.g., mosses) Radiation of flowering plants MESOZOIC Charophyceans (a group of green algae) First seed plants Early vascular plants PALEOZOIC Origin of plants Figure 17.3A
11
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
12
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
13
Ferns are seedless plants whose flagellated sperm require moisture to reach the egg
Figure 17.3C
14
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
15
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
16
17.4 Haploid and diploid generations alternate in plant life cycles
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
17

18
17.5 Mosses have a dominant gametophyte
Most of a mat of moss consists of gametophytes These produce eggs and swimming sperm The zygote stays on the gametophyte and develops into the less conspicuous sporophyte

17.7 Seedless plants formed vast “coal forests”
Ferns and other seedless plants once dominated ancient forests Their remains formed coal Figure 17.7
23
Gymnosperms that produce cones, the conifers, largely replaced the ancient forests of seedless plants These plants remain the dominant gymnosperms today
24
17.8 A pine tree is a sporophyte with tiny gametophytes in its cones
Sporangia in male cones make spores that develop into male gametophytes These are the pollen grains Sporangia in female cones produce female gametophytes

17.9 The flower is the centerpiece of angiosperm reproduction
Most plants are angiosperms The hallmarks of these plants are flowers Pollen grains Anther Stigma CARPEL Ovary STAMEN PETAL Ovule SEPAL Figure 17.9A, B
27
The angiosperm life cycle is similar to that of conifers
The angiosperm plant is a sporophyte with gametophytes in its flowers The angiosperm life cycle is similar to that of conifers But it is much more rapid In addition, angiosperm seeds are protected and dispersed in fruits, which develop from ovaries

CHAPTER 31 Plant Structure, Reproduction, and Development
Modules 31.1 – 31.4
30
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
31
Monocots and dicots differ in seed leaf number and in the structure of roots, stems, leaves, and flowers SEED LEAVES LEAF VEINS STEMS FLOWERS ROOTS MONOCOTS 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 multiples of four or five Taproot usually present Figure 31.2
32
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
33
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
34
Terminal bud Blade Leaf Flower Petiole Axillary bud Stem SHOOT SYSTEM Node Internode Taproot Root hairs ROOT SYSTEM Figure 31.3
35
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
36
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
37
Modified stems include
STRAWBERRY PLANT runners, for asexual reproduction rhizomes, for plant growth and food storage tubers, for food storage in the form of starch Runner POTATO PLANT Rhizome IRIS PLANT Rhizome Tuber Taproot Root Figure 31.4B
38
Modified leaves include tendrils and spines
Tendrils help plants to climb Spines may protect the plant from plant-eating animals Figure 31.4C
39
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
40
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
41
The ground tissue system functions mainly in storage and photosynthesis
It consists of parenchyma cells and supportive collenchyma and sclerenchyma cells
42
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
43
VASCULAR TISSUE SYSTEM
Xylem Phloem Epidermis GROUND TISSUE SYSTEM Cortex Endodermis Figure 31.6B
44
These microscopic cross sections of a dicot and a monocot indicate several differences in their tissue systems Figure 31.6C
45
The three tissue systems in dicot leaves
The epidermis consist of pores called stomata (singular, stoma) flanked by regulatory guard cells Figure 31.6D
46
The ground tissue system of a leaf is called mesophyll and is the site of photosynthesis
Figure 31.6D
47
The vascular tissue consists of a network of veins composed of xylem and phloem
Figure 31.6D
48
31.7 Primary growth lengthens roots and shoots
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
49
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
50
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
51

54
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
55
Cork cambium produces protective cork cells located in the bark
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
56
Figure 31.8A
57
Everything external to the vascular cambium is considered bark
Secondary phloem Cork cambium Protective cork cells Heartwood in the center of the trunk consists of older, clogged layers of secondary xylem Sapwood consists of younger, secondary xylem that still conducts water

31.9 Overview: The sexual life cycle of a flowering plant
PLANT REPRODUCTION 31.9 Overview: The sexual life cycle of a flowering plant The angiosperm flower is a reproductive shoot consisting of sepals petals stamen carpels Anther Carpel Stigma Ovary Stamen Ovule Sepal Petal Figure 31.9A
60
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)
61
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
62
The life cycle of an angiosperm involves several stages
Ovary, containing ovule Embryo Fruit, containing seed Seed Mature plant with flowers, where fertilization occurs Seedling Germinating seed Figure 31.9B
63
31.10 The development of pollen and ovules culminates in fertilization
The plant life cycle alternates between diploid (2n) and haploid (n) generations Double fertilization is unique to plants
64
Figure 31.10
65
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 A resistant seed coat protects the embryo and endosperm
66
Triploid cell OVULE Zygote Two cells Cotyledons Endosperm Seed coat Shoot Embryo Root SEED Figure 31.11A
67
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

69
31.12 The ovary develops into a fruit
The ovary develops into a fruit which helps protect and disperse the seeds Figure 31.12A
70
There is a correspondence between flower and fruit in a pea plant
The wall of the ovary becomes the pod The ovules develop into the seeds Upper part of carpel Ovule Seed Pod (opened) Ovary wall Sepal Figure 31.12B
71
The sepals of the flower stay attached to the base of the green pod
The small, threadlike structure at the end of the pod is what remains of the upper part of the flower's carpel The sepals of the flower stay attached to the base of the green pod Upper part of carpel Ovule Seed Pod (opened) Ovary wall Sepal Figure 31.12B
72
Simple fruits develop from a flower with a single carpel and ovary
Apples, pea pods, cherries Aggregate fruits develop from a flower with many carpels Raspberries Multiple fruits develop from a group of flowers clustered tightly together Pineapples Figure 31.12C
73
CHAPTER 33 Control Systems in Plants
Modules 33.1 – 33.5
74
Hormones coordinate the activities of plant cells and tissues
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 Figure 33.1A
75
Phototropism results from faster cell growth on the shaded side of the shoot than on the illuminated side Shaded side of shoot Light Illuminated side of shoot Figure 33.1B
76
Experiments carried out by Darwin and others showed that the tip of a grass seedling detects light and transmits a signal down to the growing region of the shoot Light Tip covered by trans- parent cap Base covered by opaque shield Tip separated by gelatin block Control Tip removed Tip covered by opaque cap Tip separated by mica Figure 33.1C DARWIN AND DARWIN (1880) BOYSEN-JENSEN (1913)
77
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
78
Shoot tip placed on agar block
Shoot tip placed on agar block. Chemical (later called auxin) diffuses from shoot tip into agar. Agar Block with chemical stimulates growth. Offset blocks with chemical stimulate curved growth. Other controls: Blocks with no chemical have no effect. Control NO LIGHT Figure 33.1D
79
Hormones regulate plant growth and development by affecting
33.2 Five major types of hormones regulate plant growth and development Hormones regulate plant growth and development by affecting cell division cell elongation cell differentiation Only small amounts of hormones are necessary to trigger the signal-transduction pathways that regulate plant growth and development
