The phylogeny of land plantsThe likely ancestor are charophycean algae

Chloroplast DNA and ribosomal RNA indicate charophycean algae and land plants had common ancestorMembranes of land plants and charophyceans have rosette-shaped arrays of proteins that make the cell walls

• Other algae have linear arrays

Land plants and charophyceans have anti-photorespiration enzymes packaged into organelles called peroxisomes

• Peroxisomes not found in other algae

Similarity of sperm of land plants and charophycean algae

Major evolutionary events in land plant evolution

1) Invasion of land

Page 5: The phylogeny of land plants The likely ancestor are charophycean algae Chloroplast DNA and ribosomal RNA indicate charophycean algae and land plants had

Bryophyta

Lack true roots, stems and leavesInstead have rhizoids, caulalia and phyllodes

Require moisture for fertilization

Without vascular tissue; rely on diffusion

Dispersal by spores

Gametophyte is dominant stage

Lack cuticle

Major evolutionary events in land plant evolution

2) The evolution of vascular tissueXylem for conduction of water

Phloem for conduction of carbohydrates from leaves or fronds to other parts of plant body

3) Sporophyte is dominant phase of life cycle

4) Cutin lines external surfaces

Major evolutionary events in land plant evolution

5) evolution of seedsA seed is a structure that encloses and protects a developing embryo

6) evolution of pollination

Page 16: The phylogeny of land plants The likely ancestor are charophycean algae Chloroplast DNA and ribosomal RNA indicate charophycean algae and land plants had

Seed plants

Gametophyte much reduced and dependent on sporophyteSeed consists of sporophyte embryo packaged along with a food supply within a protective coatAdapted for terrestrial existencePollination replaces swimming as the mechanism for delivering sperm to the egg

Page 17: The phylogeny of land plants The likely ancestor are charophycean algae Chloroplast DNA and ribosomal RNA indicate charophycean algae and land plants had

GymnospermsNaked seedsLack the enclosed chambers (ovaries) in which angiosperm ovules and seeds develop

Rather, gymnosperm ovules and seeds develop on the surfaces of specialized leaves called sporophylls

Wind pollinationWater not needed for pollination

All are woody plants (no herbaceous species)Date from 350 mybp

Page 18: The phylogeny of land plants The likely ancestor are charophycean algae Chloroplast DNA and ribosomal RNA indicate charophycean algae and land plants had

Ginkgophyta

Only one species

Tree with fan-shaped leaves

Ovules develop into yellow, cherry-like seeds

Ginkophyta

Page 20: The phylogeny of land plants The likely ancestor are charophycean algae Chloroplast DNA and ribosomal RNA indicate charophycean algae and land plants had

Cycadophyta

Stem unbranched with terminal palm-like leaves

Cone-like sporophylls

Page 21: The phylogeny of land plants The likely ancestor are charophycean algae Chloroplast DNA and ribosomal RNA indicate charophycean algae and land plants had

Page 28: The phylogeny of land plants The likely ancestor are charophycean algae Chloroplast DNA and ribosomal RNA indicate charophycean algae and land plants had

Welwitschia

Found in the Nabib Desert

Two enormous leaves,the longest lived of any plant

Grow about five inches a year

Each leaf can reach several hundred square feet in size

Major evolutionary events in land plant evolution

7) Evolution of flowers and fruits

Page 34: The phylogeny of land plants The likely ancestor are charophycean algae Chloroplast DNA and ribosomal RNA indicate charophycean algae and land plants had

Anthophyta - flowering plants

Reproductive organs within a flower

Gametophytes greatly reduced

Ovules embedded within sporophyte tissue (ovary)

Seeds within a fruit

Appeared in early Cretaceous

Most pollination by insects and birds

Page 35: The phylogeny of land plants The likely ancestor are charophycean algae Chloroplast DNA and ribosomal RNA indicate charophycean algae and land plants had

The origin of the angiosperms

Darwin wrote about “the abominable mystery” of what the first flowering plant looked like

Angiosperms appear suddenly in the fossil record with no obvious ancestors for a period of 80-90 million years before their appearance

Two hypothesesMagnolia hypothesis

• First angiosperm was a tree with complex flowers

Paleoherb hypothesis• First angionsperm was a non-woody plant with simple flowers

Page 36: The phylogeny of land plants The likely ancestor are charophycean algae Chloroplast DNA and ribosomal RNA indicate charophycean algae and land plants had

Amborella

Analysis of DNA reveals this genus is the most primitive flowering plant

Flowers with moderate number of petals

Flowers are imperfect (separate male and female gametophytes)

Found only on island of New Caledonia in the South Pacific
