Flowers and reproduction
Concepts
-
if the environment is stable during several lifetimes it is selectively advantageous for an organism to reproduce asexually by budding or sending out runners #
-
-
with asexual reproduction, progeny are never more fit than the parent, but during sexual reproduction sex cells of one plant
combine with those of one or several others, resulting in many new gene combinations
which are produced by sexual reproduction, often have a means of long distance dispersal
-
Sexual reproduction
sexual reproduction in angiosperms involves flowers which produce the necessary cells and structures
the plant life cycle
-
-
-
Gametes can fuse with other gametes in a process called syngamy or fertilization, thereby producing the diploid zygote
they cannot undergo syngamy, but each undergoes mitosis and grows into an entire haploid plant called a gametophyte
Mammalian gametes are of two types: small sperm cells (microgametes) that swim and large eggs (megagametes) that do not
in oogamous plants, just as in of individual and eggs by different type of individuals hence, there are "male" or microgametophytes
-
a life cycle like this, with two generations-sporophyte and gametophyte is said to be an alternation of generation
the two types of gametophytes have grown from two types of spores: mircrogametophytes from microspores
-
because gametophytes do not resemble sporophytes at all this is an alternation of heteromorphic generation
-
the flower like stalk is a pedicel and the very end of the axis where the other parts are attached is the receptacle
-
-
it is not uncommon for flowers of certain species species to lack one or two of the four basic floral appendages thus being called incomplete flowers
-
Mircogametophyte
-
there it divides mitotically, producing a large vegataitve cell and a small Len-shaped generative cell
after a pollen grain lands on a stigma, it germinates by producing a pollen tube that penetrates in to the loose open tissues of the stigma
Megagametophyte
-
the seven cells are one large central cell with two polar nuclei, three small antipodal cells and an egg apparatus consisting of two synergids and an egg
-
Syngamy of sperm and egg involves both plasmogamy, fusion of the protoplasts of the gametes, and karyogamy fusion of the nuclei
it undergoes karyogamy with both polar nuclei est. large endosperm nucleus that is triploid containing three full sets of genes
because both sperm nuclei undergo fusions-one with one egg nucleus and the other with the polar nuclei- the process is called double fertilization
all of this tissues, both coenocytic and cellular is called endosperm and it nourishes the development of the zygote
-
Embryo and seed development #
the zygote grows into small cluster of cells part of which later becomes the embryo proper and the other part becomes a short stalk-like structure the suspensor
the end of the embryo farther from the suspensor initiates two primordia that grow into two cotyledons
-
fruit development
as the ovule develops into a seed, the ovary matures into a fruit
the exocarp is the outer layer-the skin or peel; the middle layer is the mesocarp or flesh and the innermost layer endocarp, may be tough like the stones or pit of a cherry
the entire fruit wall, whether composed of one, two, or all three layers is the pericap

- Mutattion cause them to conserve more water
- Mutauition enhanced abitilites to absorb CO2 and do photostyn.

Harrisella porrecta
consist of green photosyn. roots connected to stem , roots make up almost body, shoots active only when producing

sieve pores
immature sieve begin to differ, their plasmodesmata enlarge to a diameter of more than 1 *m

Xylem

-
Perforation
is digested through a particular site if the primary wall, often removing the entire end wall
-
-
Scalariform thickening
provides much more strength because the 2ndary wall underlies most of the inner surface of the primary wall and is fairly extensive
-
Annular thickening
-
Simplest type of element, small amount of secondary wall, organized as a set of rings
-
Vascular tissues

-
-
Xylem
once in shoots water evaporates from surface if stem, leaves flowers and is lost
-
sap travels through dead, hollow cells not through living cells
