Seed Plants I: Seed Plants without Flowers ("Gymnosperms")
concepts
angiosperms
flowering plants
carpels
tube-like
closed struture
fruits
gymnosperms
naked ovules
flat sporophylls
pine cones
pycnoxylic
hard, strong, parenchyma wood
lignophytes
woody plants
spermatophytes
seed plants
manoxylic wood
soft, spongy, enchymatous wood
Division of Gymnosperm Plant Types
coniferophyta
bear cones
reproductive activities takes place
seed of woody cones is wind- borne
can be monoecious and dioecious
grows mostly in mountainous topography
example
firs, pines, junipers
conifers
long shoots
tiny papery leaves
short shoots
long needle leaves
leaves
perrnnial
1 or 2 veins
needle shaped
simple cones
pollen cones
single short
unbranched axis
bears microsporophylls
cone bracts
axillary buds
bears megasporophylls
ovuliferous scale
fused to bract
suspensor
pushes cells
into megagametophyte
proembryo
develop in the embryo
Cycadeoidophyta
cycads
woody trunks
stiff foliage
sometimes cone like structure
evergreen compound leaves
trunks are shorter and stouter
leaves appear basal rosettes
seed cones
pollen cones
Pteridospermophyta
seed ferns
longer tracheids
some resembled ferns
other vines
any woody plants
fern-like foliage
bore seeds
wood was manoxylic
softer/less dense
long-lived
vascular cambium
xylem and phloem
Progymnospermophyta, Progymnosperms
vascular cambium
secondary growth
shurbs- large trees
12 m tall
primary xylem
protostele
little webbing
evolution of seeds
integument
layer of tissue
micropyle
hole in the integument
pollen chamber
holding area
trees up to 8.4m
abundant wood
siphonostele
pith surrounded
ring of primary xylem
spirally arranged leaves
megaspores and microspores
Ginkgophyta: Maiden Tree
reproduction
dioecious and gymnospermous
lacks axial parenchyma
broad leaves turn yellow n autumn
looks similar to
stout trunk
wood like conifers
large dicot trees
short roots
long shoots
Gnetophyta
leaves
reduced and scale like
small shrubs
broad leaves
desert regions
Cycadeoidophyta
all extinct
vegetative features
cones
megasporangium
megasporophylls
each ovule
had stalk
thick, fleshy scale
located below
cluster of megasporophylls
curved upward
Aneurophytales
Archaeoppteridales
