Walled Spores Produced in Sporangia
The sporophyte produces spores in organs called
sporangia
Diploid cells called
sporocytes
undergo meiosis to generate haploid spores Spore walls contain sporopollenin, which makes them resistant to harsh environments © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• • •
Multicellular Gametangia
Gametes are produced within organs called
gametangia
Female gametangia, called
archegonia
, produce eggs and are the site of fertilization Male gametangia, called
antheridia
, produce and release sperm © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• •
Apical Meristems
Plants sustain continual growth in their
apical meristems
Cells from the apical meristems differentiate into various tissues © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

• Additional derived traits include –
Cuticle
, a waxy covering of the epidermis – Mycorrhizae, symbiotic associations between fungi and land plants that may have helped plants without true roots to obtain nutrients – Secondary compounds that deter herbivores and parasites © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Origin and Diversification of Plants
• • Fossil evidence indicates that plants were on land at least 475 million years ago Fossilized spores and tissues have been extracted from 475-million-year-old rocks © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

• • • • Land plants can be informally grouped based on the presence or absence of
vascular tissue
Most plants have vascular tissue; these constitute the
vascular plants
Nonvascular plants are commonly called
bryophytes
Bryophytes are not a monophyletic group; their relationships to each other and to vascular plants are unresolved © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• •
Seedless vascular plants
can be divided into clades –
Lycophytes
(club mosses and their relatives) –
Pterophytes
(ferns and their relatives) Seedless vascular plants are paraphyletic, and are of the same level of biological organization, or
grade
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• • A
seed
is an embryo and nutrients surrounded by a protective coat Seed plants form a clade and can be divided into further clades –
Gymnosperms
, the “naked seed” plants, including the conifers –
Angiosperms
, the flowering plants © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Concept 29.2: Mosses and other nonvascular plants have life cycles dominated by gametophytes
• • Bryophytes are represented today by three phyla of small herbaceous (nonwoody) plants –
Liverworts
, phylum Hepatophyta – –
Hornworts
, phylum Anthocerophyta
Mosses
, phylum Bryophyta Bryophyte refers to all nonvascular plants, whereas Bryophyta refers only to the phylum of mosses © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Bryophyte Gametophytes
• • In all three bryophyte phyla, gametophytes are larger and longer-living than sporophytes Sporophytes are typically present only part of the time © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

• • • • • A spore germinates into a gametophyte composed of a
protonema
and gamete-producing
gametophore
The height of gametophytes is constrained by lack of vascular tissues
Rhizoids
anchor gametophytes to substrate Mature gametophytes produce flagellated sperm in antheridia and an egg in each archegonium Sperm swim through a film of water to reach and fertilize the egg © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Bryophyte Sporophytes
• • • Bryophyte sporophytes grow out of archegonia, and are the smallest and simplest sporophytes of all extant plant groups A sporophyte consists of a
foot
, a
seta
(stalk), and a sporangium, also called a
capsule
, which discharges spores through a
peristome
Hornwort and moss sporophytes have
stomata
for gas exchange; liverworts do not © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

The Ecological and Economic Importance of Mosses
• • Mosses are capable of inhabiting diverse and sometimes extreme environments, but are especially common in moist forests and wetlands Some mosses might help retain nitrogen in the soil © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Sphagnum
known as , or “peat moss,” forms extensive deposits of partially decayed organic material
peat
Peat can be used as a source of fuel
Sphagnum
is an important global reservoir of organic carbon Overharvesting of
Sphagnum
and/or a drop in water level in peatlands could release stored CO 2 to the atmosphere © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Concept 29.3: Ferns and other seedless vascular plants were the first plants to grow tall
• • • • Bryophytes and bryophyte-like plants were the prevalent vegetation during the first 100 million years of plant evolution Vascular plants began to diversify during the Devonian and Carboniferous periods Vascular tissue allowed these plants to grow tall Seedless vascular plants have flagellated sperm and are usually restricted to moist environments © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Origins and Traits of Vascular Plants
• • • Fossils of the forerunners of vascular plants date back about 425 million years These early tiny plants had independent, branching sporophytes Living vascular plants are characterized by Life cycles with dominant sporophytes Vascular tissues called xylem and phloem Well-developed roots and leaves © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Life Cycles with Dominant Sporophytes
• • In contrast with bryophytes, sporophytes of seedless vascular plants are the larger generation, as in familiar ferns The gametophytes are tiny plants that grow on or below the soil surface © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Transport in Xylem and Phloem
• • • • • Vascular plants have two types of vascular tissue: xylem and phloem
Xylem
conducts most of the water and minerals and includes dead cells called
tracheids
Water-conducting cells are strengthened by
lignin
and provide structural support
Phloem
consists of living cells and distributes sugars, amino acids, and other organic products Vascular tissue allowed for increased height, which provided an evolutionary advantage © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Evolution of Roots
• • •
Roots
are organs that anchor vascular plants They enable vascular plants to absorb water and nutrients from the soil Roots may have evolved from subterranean stems © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Evolution of Leaves
• •
Leaves
are organs that increase the surface area of vascular plants, thereby capturing more solar energy that is used for photosynthesis Leaves are categorized by two types
Microphylls
, leaves with a single vein
Megaphylls
, leaves with a highly branched vascular system © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• • According to one model of evolution, microphylls evolved as outgrowths of stems Megaphylls may have evolved as webbing between flattened branches © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Sporophylls and Spore Variations
• • •
Sporophylls
are modified leaves with sporangia
Sori
are clusters of sporangia on the undersides of sporophylls
Strobili
are cone-like structures formed from groups of sporophylls © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• • • Most seedless vascular plants are
homosporous
, producing one type of spore that develops into a bisexual gametophyte All seed plants and some seedless vascular plants are
heterosporous
Heterosporous species produce
megaspores
, which give rise to female gametophytes, and
microspores
, which give rise to male gametophytes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Classification of Seedless Vascular Plants
• There are two phyla of seedless vascular plants – Phylum Lycophyta includes club mosses, spike mosses, and quillworts – Phylum Pterophyta includes ferns, horsetails, and whisk ferns and their relatives © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Phylum Lycophyta: Club Mosses, Spike Mosses, and Quillworts
• • • Giant lycophytes trees thrived for millions of years in moist swamps Surviving species are small herbaceous plants Club mosses and spike mosses have vascular tissues and are not true mosses © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Phylum Pterophyta: Ferns, Horsetails, and Whisk Ferns and Relatives
• • • • Ferns are the most diverse seedless vascular plants, with more than 12,000 species They are most diverse in the tropics but also thrive in temperate forests Horsetails were diverse during the Carboniferous period, but are now restricted to the genus
Equisetum
Whisk ferns resemble ancestral vascular plants but are closely related to modern ferns © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Significance of Seedless Vascular Plants
• • • The ancestors of modern lycophytes, horsetails, and ferns grew to great heights during the Devonian and Carboniferous, forming the first forests Increased growth and photosynthesis removed CO 2 from the atmosphere and may have contributed to global cooling at the end of the Carboniferous period The decaying plants of these Carboniferous forests eventually became coal © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
