CH22 Seed Plants I: Seed Plants Without Flowers (“Gymnosperms”)
Division Coniferophyta: Confiers
#
ovuliferous scale
formed by
axillary bud is
microscopic
and its megasporophylls are fused
suspensor
pushes other cells
deep into the
megagametophyte
simple cones
pollen cones
single short unbranched axis
bears micosporophylls
proembryo
develop in the embryo
short shoots
an axil
that produces
long needle leaves
the leaves have xeromorphic characters
thick cuticle
sunken stomata
cylindrical shape
long shoots
tiny papery leaves
occur on long shoots
Division Progymnospermophyta : Progymnosperms
Aneurophtales
contains more relictual progygymnosperms
Archeaoteridales
a more derived
progymnosperm was
Archaeopteris
in order Archaeopterides
Evolution of Seeds
Investigating the life cycle
of extinct plants on fossils
pyle
a hole in the integument
that permits sperm cells to swim to the egg
after the megaspore
had developed into
magagametophyte and
produced eggs
microintegument
surrounds
magasporangium with a layer of tissue
pollen chamber
a holding area
microspores settled
Progymnosperms
gave rise to
conifers
cycads
#
other gymnosperms
Division Ginkgophyta: Maidenhair Tree
contains single living species
ginkgo biloba
Division Cycadophyta: Cyads
modern cycads
are frequently confused with
ferns or young palm trees
have stout trunks
with pinnately compound leaves
Division Gnetophyta
contains three groups of
enigmatic plants
gnetum
30 species
ephedra
40 species
welwitschia mirabilis
only species in genus
anthophytes
there is few data
Division Pteridospermophyta Seed Ferns
seed ferns
earliest appeared in
upper Devonian period
Concepts
Manoxylic wood
soft, spongy, parenchymatous wood
pycnoxylic wood
small, simple leaves, and flattened seeds
bidirectionally
symmetrical
When seeds originate
establishing the seed plants
are
Spermatophytes
gymnosperms
plants with “naked ovules”
which is
ovules located on flat sporophylls
Lignophytes
monophyletic group of
woody plants
Angiosperms
are sporophylls
that form tube like
closed structures
fruits are mature carpels
Divison Cycadeoidophyta: Cycadeoids
are all extinct
had vegetable features
almost identical to those of cycads
