angiosperms seedless vasular plants gymnosperms woody angiosperms

Which phylum helps us better understand the seed plants

Which phylum helps us better understand the seed plants

Monilophyta

What are three traits of angiosperms

dry, compact mesophyll

what is the difference between lycopodia and monilophyta

micro vs megasporophyll

Do seedles vascular plants still need water to reproduce

yes the still have spores and not seeds and think of the carboniferous period

What led to the dominance of seed plantss

sead coat pollen spreading, the Pangea and loss of habitat, they coud stand descication and make better fit for the changing world

Monilophyta originated?

390 mya

Monilophyta have heterosporous aquatic fungi?

T

Three uses of lycophytes

1. Floral Industry

2. Medicinal and homeopathic remedies - pain relief, support of memory retention

3. Photography and pyro-techniques/special effects (spores = lycopodium powder)

4. Coal deposits - source of energy for generation of electricity worldwide

5. Model system to understand evolution of vascular plants (Selaginella moellendorffii genome sequence) (resurrection fern drought tolerant model)

Lycopodia have motile aquatic sperm

T

whats the oldest lineage of extant vascular plants

Lycopodiophyta

Name the three extant lineages of Lycopodiophyta

Lycopodiales, Selaginellales, isoetales

Which fern is being researched at esf

Hart's tongue fern, fragrant cliff fern

What are the four extant lineages of monilophyta

Equisetidae (unbranched stems, strobilus) Ophioglossidae (no roots adaxial synangia, Marattiopsida, (large fromds, abaxial synangia)

Polypodiidae 95% (some heterospory sori, megaphyll, leptosporangia )

Monilophyta are a Euphyllophytes

T

When did seed plants originate

the cold and dry end of the caboniferous perios 286 mya wwhen permian pangea happened 3rd mass extinction

Four gymnosperms

Cycadophyta ginkophyta coniferophyta gnetophyta

most basal lineage of seed plants,, fronds clustered at top

cycadophyta 11 genera 300 spp. dioecious

Ginkophyta

7 genera 50 spp. catkin like reproductive structures 2500 years of life

Gnetophyta

two integuments 3 families 1 genus each ephedra welwitschia gnetum

coniferophyta

most ecologically and economic gymnosperm initial diversification in triassic

WHY are seeds important

• Formed from the ovule which is composed of sporangium and integument

• Integument provides protection for sporangium and associated events

• Matured ovule contains seed coat (protection), embryo (young sporophyte) and cotyledon (food source)

• The seed can survive in dry conditions while the spore is critically dependent on water

Whats the largest spruce

Sitka spruce

Whats the conifer genera most native to NY

bayobab

How many species of angiosperms are there

250,000

Which fllower only blooms once evry so often and lets off heat bc of it, convection

titan arum

Oldest living angiosperm

creosote bush, quaking aspen

Nitrogen fixing

red clover, acacia, red alder

all major crops are angiosperms

T

name two characteristics unique to angiosperms

carpels, flowers, sieve tube memebers, endosprem

Name all the parts of a flower bitch

hi

How did carpels form

Like a lil leaf folding in the megasporangio like a lil irish dance blanket so many of them formed through the folding and folding and foldin so now theres three carpels and one pistil

Pericarp

the wall of a ripened ovary, consisting of ecocarp mesocarp and endocarp

sylema dn phloem water cells comparesd to conifers

they have so many more perferations and lots more puts the have perferation plates and vessel elements that water passed fater through via perferations rather tahn trachieds, they also have sieve tube members rather than just cells, they have more pores in general

Leaf size trends across evolutionary history

they got more veiny and more stomata for transporting and holding water.

the most archaic extant angiosperm

Amborellaceae Amborella - the most archaic extant angiosperm

• The only species in Amborellaceae

• Very restricted range - New Caldeonia montane forest

• No economic important, but great evolutionary significance

• Carpels with unfused stigmatic ridges (closed by secretion)

• A woody angiosperm without vessels

• Stamens undifferentiated into anthers and filaments

look at this bitch

hi

WHat does ANA stand for

Amborellales nymphaceales ausrrobaileyales

Nymphaeales

water lily family aquatic vessels for water transplant globally distributed many tepals

Evolutionary signifigance of magnoliids

vessels for water transport columellate pollen (collumns on pollen grain wall) ethereal oil Plicate fused carpels

Evolutionary chnages leading to eudictos

ethereal oil lost tricolpate pollen

Basal Eudicots- Ranunculaceae

Buttercup family sometimes no petals carpels many and distinct fruit often follicle smalll delicate flowers bright colors MARSH MARIGOLD GLOBEFLOWER WHITE BANEBERRY COLUMBINE

Core Eudicots Crassulaceae

differentiated petals and sepals, 4-5 of each free carpels CAM

CAM

crassulacean acid metabolism stomates open at night for CO2 uptakeand carbon fixation Photoynthetic light reactions with closed stomated during the day to limit water loss
