The common ancestor of ALL plants is thought to be Green Algae
In the early evolution of plants, they made the transition from aquatic to land environments
Common Ancestor
6
Mycorrhizae is a mutualistic relationship between plants and fungi to help a plant absorb water from the soil.
This relationship helped plants transition to land.
Importance of Mycorrhizae
7
Almost all plants have a cuticle covering their leaves and stems to prevent water loss
The cuticle is waxy (lots of lipids) and holds water in
The cuticle is also clear to let sunlight in
for photosynthesis
Cuticle
8
Alternation of Generations An alternation between two distinct forms or generations that reproduce differently
One generation is haploid and reproduces sexually
The other generation is diploid and reproduces asexually
9
Alternation of Generations
By definition, all plants alternate generations
Gametophyten=haploid
Sporophyte 2n=diploid
10
Alternation of Generations Gametophyte and Sporophyte
Notice that the more advanced plants have a dominant Sporophyte and the less advanced plants have a more dominant Gametophyte

Bryophytes
Example: Moss
Non-Vascular Plants
15
16
They are small and low to the ground because they do not have vascular tissue
Found only in damp, moist areas on land
◦ 1) Leaves must absorb water for photosynthesis
◦ 2) Sperm swims through water to reach egg in gametophyte

Seedless Vascular Plants

Vascular Tissue
◦ Set of tubes that transport materials around plant
◦ Allows plants to grow taller
◦ Water travels up through Xylem
◦ Sugar/Food travels throughout in Phloem
Key Adaptation over Nonvascular Plants

Still must live in moist areas
Sporophyte grows successfully with vascular tissue
But sperm must still swim to egg in tiny gametophyte
Ferns Live Further On Land

Gymnosperm Pollen Strategy
Release a lot, hope some pollinate
(Meanwhile, irritating everyone else)
Pollen is the male sperm in Gymnosperms and Angiosperms
34
Seeds
Pollen Grains
Key Adaptations Over Seedless Plants
35
Tough coat protects newly fertilized embryo
Also contains supply of food (endosperm) to survive during dormancy period
A seed in a gymnosperm is inside the cone
Seeds
36
37
Plants try to disperse offspring far away so they have a higher chance of survival.
Dispersal of seeds prevents competition for water, nutrients, light, and living space.
Seed Dispersal
38
39
Dispersal by wind – wing-like structures, parachute-like structures
Seed Dispersal
40
Dispersal by animals – fruits have hooks that cling on animals fur, other fruits provide food for animals
Seed Dispersal
Seed Dispersal Seeds dispersal is
completed by birds, small animals, wind, and water
The tough, fibrous outer covering of a coconut provides protection as well as a floatation device
41
42
Hard covering around sperm, light weight allows travel by wind
Removes water requirement for fertilization
Pollen Grain
43
At the very end when pollen lands on another plant of the same species
Pollen tube connects to ovary, sperm swim to egg
Sperm Still Swims

Angiosperms Think flowers Most diverse plant group Most Dominant Plant group on the planet
46
Flowers
◦ Adapted for pollination by animals
◦ Attract animals to help carry pollen to the next flower
◦ Color or scent attractors guide animals to obtain sugar from plant
◦ Some angiosperms still wind pollinate (grass)
Key Adaptation Over Gymnosperms

Angiosperms are Divided intoMonocots and Dicots
49
Monocots include: grasses, corn, rice, oats, wheat, orchids, lilies and palms
Dicots include: shrubs, trees (except conifers) wild flowers and some garden flowers

Monocot and Dicot Flower Pedals
Monocot-pedals in groups of three or multiples of three
Dicots-pedals in groups of 4s or 5s
54
Flower Structure of an Angiosperm
•Sepals protect the flower bud from insect damage and dryness
•The color, scent, and nectar of flowers attracts insects, bats, and birds
•These animals help to transfer the pollen from the anthers of one flower to the stigma of other flowers-called pollination
55

Sporophyte Dominates56
Pollen Tube Growth and Fertilization in Angiosperms
•The Pollen grains are transferred to the Stigma where the pollen grain produces a Pollen tube
•The pollen tube grows down the style into the ovary where it fuses its nuclei with the nuclei of the ovule
•The fertilized ovule becomes a seed and the ovary develops into the fruit of the plant 57
The Sporophyte is the dominant stage in the life cycle of the
Angiosperms
58
59
After fertilization, the ovary becomes the fruit and the ovule becomes the seed.
60
Fruit
Typically collects sugar to attract animals
Seeds survive animal digestive system, pooped out far away from parent (and with free fertilizer!)
Some are not eaten by animals, just help wind carry seed ◦ Example: dandelion

Asexual Reproduction Plants can also reproduce asexually
Vegetative reproduction is faster than sexual reproduction.
Vegetative reproduction is where many plant parts can regrow to make a whole new organism when separated.
◦ Examples: Ivy or Potato
Ginkgophyta or “Ginkgo Tree”
A division of seed plants that have only one living species
The leaves of the plant are fan shaped
The ginkgo is the oldest tree in the world, once thought to be extinct
Ginkgo’s are the lone survivor of a "family that existed more than 200 million years ago" and kept company with the dinosaurs
63
64
65
The male trees are preferred because female trees bear a fruit which, after dropping, emits a foul odor. The fruit is about the size of a cherry tomato
Roasted nuts from Ginkgo biloba trees have long been considered a delicacy in their native China.
Treatment for short-term memory loss is just one of many medicinal uses for the extract derived from the leaves of Ginkgo biloba trees.
