An Overview of Land Plant Evolution (Ch. 29, Plant Diversity I) 1)origin from ancestors similar to charophytes 2)bryophytes 3)ferns 4)other spore-dispersed plants
2
1)origin from ancestors similar to charophytes…
3
The evolution of land plants involves changes in plant development related to reproductive biology.
4
Chara - a charophyte - the whole plant body is haploid except for the zygote egg and sperm production close up zygote
6
The origin of the land-plants includes a delay in meoisis, so that there are diploid vegetative cells in the life cycle.
7
cuticle, a critical invention for land plants

13
bryophytes: Ca. 15,000 species Gametophyte shoot with leaves is common. Unbranched sporophyte, which has stomates
14
Moss Life Cycle Spores produced in sporangium

A-C: Mosses D,E: Liverworts F, G: Hornworts operculum peristome teeth
17
Marchantia, a thallose liverwort
18
Bazzania, a leafy liverwort
19
archegonium of a liverwort antheridium of a hornwort
20
sporophytes of two mosses haircap moss peat moss—Sphagnum
21
moss spores—products of meiosis
24
An Overview of Land Plant Evolution 1)origin from ancestors similar to charophytes 2)bryophytes 3) ferns 4)other spore-dispersed plants
25
Life cycle for the ferns
26
The ferns, with 12,000 species, are the most successful spore- dispersed vascular plants.
28
Most ferns have a creeping stem and divided leaves…
29
Vascular tissue—for moving fluids and providing structural support—is divided into xylem and phloem. xylem phloem
30
Sporangia are in groups called sori.
31
one sorus with sporangia hidden underneath an indusium
33
Spores are produced by meiosis in the sporangium.
36
Spores germinate to produce haploid gametophytes.
37
The gametophytes don’t have shoots or vascular tissue.
38
Fertilization
39
Fertilization yields new diploid sporophytes.
