seedless vascular plants primary growth

• Primary growth = branching apical growth; responsible for vertical growth

• Growth through cell division in mitotic zones called apical meristems located in apices (stem/root tips) of the plant

  • Axillary bud = meristematic tissue laid down by shoot apical meristem at the node between the stem and (eventual) leaf

  • Primary growth gives rise to primary tissues are composed of 3 functional groups:

    • Dermal tissues (epidermis)

    • Vascular tissues (xylem and phloem)stem, roots, and leaves

    • Ground tissues (fill spaces between dermal & vascular -- pith, cortex, mesophyll, parenchyma, sclerenchyma...)

moss life cycle

A sporophyte has a specialized capsule that holds the spores which grow into separate male and female gametophytes.

Antheridia produce sperm on the male gametophytes and the archegonia produce eggs on the female gametophyte.

Antheridium fertilizes the egg of the archegonia which grows into a new sporophyte.
