Spermatophytes
seed-producing plants
seeds protect developing embryo and provide it with nutrients
no longer need water for fertilization
dispersal by wind, insects, and animals
heterosporous (ovules and pollen)
some can produce wood
leaf types can be simple and compound
leaf arrangements can be opposite, alternate, or whorled

Gymnosperms
“naked seed” plants that do not produce fruits
Gymnosperms
Cycadophyta
corraloid roots with cyanobacteria to fix nitrogen
dioeciuos
female megasporophylls or ovulate cones (check photo)
male pollen cone

Gymnosperms
Ginkgophyta
one species in the whole division
fan shaped leaves with dichotomous branching
dioecious

Gymnosperms
Gnetophyta
non-flagellated sperm
dioecious
Gymnosperms
Coniferophyta
evergreen trees, reduced leaves are needles, resin canals
non-flagellated sperm
monecious (male pollen cone and female ovulate cone on same tree)

Coniferophyta - winged pollen

Coniferophyta - pollen with pollen tube

Angiosperms
flowering plants that also produce fruits
a fruit is a mature ovary that helps with seed dispersal
fleshy or dry
within the seed is the zygote (2n) and endosperm (3n), formed by double fertilization (2 sperm released from pollen)
endosperm provides nutrition to the zygote
flower with male and female parts
male: stamen with anther and filament
female: carpel with stigma, style, and ovary

Angiosperms - anther cross section with pollen tetrad

Angiosperms - female gametophyte containing egg and polar nuclei

Angiosperm
A.N.A Grade
most primitive flowering plants, multiple whorled petals
Angiosperms
Magnoliids
petals in groups of three, pollen grain with single opening
Angiosperms
Monocots
one embryonic leaf
flower petals in groups of three
parallel leaf veins
Angiosperms
Eudicots
two embryonic leaves
flower petals in groups of 4 or 5
pollen grains with three openings
leaf veins with branches/netting
