Derived traits of plants
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
•Apical meristem (“growing tip”)
•Alternation of generations (sporophyte and gametophyte)
•Multicellular sporangia that produce walled spores
•Multicellular gametangia
•Multicellular, dependent embryos.
Alternation of generations.

Mosses and bryophytes are dominated by the gametophyte stage.

Sphagnum moss covers great expanses of land as peat bogs, playing an
important role in the carbon cycle.

Seedless Vascular Plants.
Club mosses Ferns
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
Ferns and other seedless vascular plants formed the first forests.

•Vascular transport
•Roots
•Leaves
•Sporophylls
•Seeds.

Evolutionary milestones:
•Xylem carries water and minerals up
•Made from dead cells called thracheids
•Lignin is a tough carbohydrate that allows the plant to grow tall.

Vascular Transport
•Phloem carries down
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
Vascular Transport
•Made from living tissue.
•Absorb water and nutrients
•May have evolved from subterranean stems
•May have evolved once or several times.

Roots
Leaves
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
Leaves
•Two kinds: microphylls and megaphylls.
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
Sporophylls
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
Sporophylls
•Sporophylls are modified leaves with sporangia
Chapter 29 – How Plants Colonized Land
Sporophylls
•Sporophylls are modified leaves with sporangia
•Most seedless vascular plants make just one type of spore which develops into a bisexual gametophyte.
