Overview of Plant Structure

• • • • • BOTH genes and the environment affect plant structure and physiology.

Plants have THREE BASIC ORGANS: roots, stems, and leaves.

Plant organs are composed of THREE TISSUE SYSTEMS: dermal, vascular, and ground.

Parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma are three TYPES OF PLANT CELLS The move to land forced development of adaptations – natural selection.

The Three Basic Plant Organs: Roots, Stems, and Leaves

• The plant body has a hierarchy of organs, tissues, and cells • Plants, like multicellular animals – Have organs composed of different tissues, which are in turn composed of cells • The basic morphology of vascular plants – Reflects their evolutionary history as terrestrial organisms that draw nutrients from two very different environments: below-ground and above-ground Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Forces of Nature

Why 2 different systems?

– Soil – provides water and minerals, but no light present – Air – source of CO 2 • SO, plants developed 2 systems: – Root systems (subterranean) – Shoot systems (aerial) Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Plant Organs: Roots, Stems, and Leaves

• Plant organs are organized into a root system and a shoot system The root system and the shoot system are connected by vascular tissue (purple strands) that is continuous throughout the plant.

3 Organs of Plants

Roots –

– – –

*anchor plant, prevent erosion *absorb minerals and water *store food

– – – –

Stems –

*transport system *store food (tubers – ex potato) *support leaves *protect tissues

Leaves -

*photosynthesis

*funnel water to roots

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Roots

• A root – Is an organ that anchors the vascular plant – – Absorbs minerals and water Often stores organic nutrients • In most plants – The absorption of water and minerals occurs near the root tips, where vast numbers of tiny root hairs increase the surface area of the root

Root Types

• • • • Many plants have modified roots

Fibrous vs. Taproot

– Fibrous: mat of thin roots that spread out below ground (monocots).

– Taproot: consists of one large, vertical root (dicots).

Root Hairs

area for max absorption of H 2 O – provide surface

Adventitious Roots

that arise above ground from stems or even from – roots leaves…help support plant.

Stems and Buds

A stem is an organ consisting of – An alternating system of nodes, the points at which leaves are attached – Internodes, the stem segments between nodes • An axillary bud – Is a structure that has the potential to form a lateral shoot, or branch • A terminal bud – Is located near the shoot tip and causes elongation of a young shoot Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Many Plants have Modified Stems

(a) Stolons.

Shown here on a strawberry plant, stolons are horizontal stems that grow along the surface. These “runners” enable a plant to reproduce asexually, as plantlets form at nodes along each runner.

Storage leaves Stem Root

–d (b) Bulbs.

Bulbs are vertical, underground shoots consisting mostly of the enlarged bases of leaves that store food. You can see the many layers of modified leaves attached to the short stem by slicing an onion bulb lengthwise.

(c) Tubers.

Tubers, such as these red potatoes, are enlarged ends of rhizomes specialized for storing food. The “eyes” arranged in a spiral pattern around a potato are clusters of axillary buds that mark the nodes.

(d) Rhizomes.

The edible base of this ginger plant is an example of a rhizome, a horizontal stem that grows just below the surface or emerges and grows along the surface.

Node Rhizome Root Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Leaves

• The leaf – Is the main photosynthetic organ of most vascular plants • Leaves generally consist of – A flattened blade and a stalk – The petiole, which joins the leaf to a node of the stem Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Leaf Morphology and Classification of Angiosperms

• In classifying angiosperms taxonomists may use leaf morphology as a criterion

(a) Simple leaf.

A simple leaf is a single, undivided blade.

Some simple leaves are deeply lobed, as in an oak leaf.

(b) Compound leaf.

In a compound leaf, the blade consists of multiple leaflets.

Notice that a leaflet has no axillary bud at its base.

(c) Doubly compound leaf.

In a doubly compound leaf, each leaflet is divided into smaller leaflets.

Modified Leaves

• Some plant species have evolved modified leaves that serve various functions

(a) Tendrils.

The tendrils by which this pea plant clings to a support are modified leaves. After it has “lassoed” a support, a tendril forms a coil that brings the plant closer to the support. Tendrils are typically modified leaves, but some tendrils are modified stems, as in grapevines.

(b) Spines.

The spines of cacti, such as this prickly pear, are actually leaves, and photosynthesis is carried out mainly by the fleshy green stems.

(c) Storage leaves.

Most succulents, such as this ice plant, have leaves modified for storing water.

(d) Bracts.

Red parts of the poinsettia are often mistaken for petals but are actually modified leaves called bracts that surround a group of flowers. Such brightly colored leaves attract pollinators.

Figure 35.6a

–e (e) Reproductive leaves.

The leaves of some succulents, such as

Kalanchoe daigremontiana,

produce adventitious plantlets, which fall off the leaf and take root in the soil.

The Three Tissue Systems: Dermal, Vascular, and Ground

• Each plant organ has dermal, vascular, and ground tissues

Vascular –

transport (xylem and phloem)

Dermal

– outer coverings, protection, water conservation (epidermis, cuticle)

Ground –

filler, packing material for cushioning Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Tissue Systems in Plants

• The dermal tissue system – Consists of the epidermis and periderm • The vascular tissue system – Carries out long-distance transport of materials between roots and shoots – Consists of two tissues, xylem and phloem • Ground tissue – Includes various cells specialized for functions such as storage, photosynthesis, and support Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

• •

Xylem and Phloem

Xylem conveys water and dissolved minerals upward from roots into the shoots Phloem transports organic nutrients from where they are made to where they are needed Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Common Types of Plant Cells

• Like any multicellular organism – A plant is characterized by cellular differentiation, the specialization of cells in structure and function • Some of the major types of plant cells include – – – – – Parenchyma Collenchyma Sclerenchyma Water-conducting cells of the xylem Sugar-conducting cells of the phloem Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Parenchyma, Collenchyma, and Sclerenchyma Cells

Unspecialized plant cell that carries most of the metabolism, synthesizes and stores organic products, and develops into a more differientiated cell type.

Flexible plant cell that occurs in strands or cylinders that support young plant parts of the plant without restraining growth.

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Rigid, supportive plant cell usually lacking protoplasts and possessing thick secondary walls strengthened by lignin at maturity.

Plant Meristems • Meristems generate cells for new organs • Apical meristems produce primary growth – Are located at the tips of roots and in the buds of shoots – Elongate shoots and roots through primary growth • Lateral meristems produce secondary growth – Add thickness to woody plants through secondary growth Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

An Overview of Primary and Secondary Growth

Shoot apical meristems (in buds) In woody plants, there are lateral meristems that add secondary growth, increasing the girth of roots and stems.

Apical meristems add primary growth, or growth in length.

Root apical meristems Vascular cambium Cork cambium Lateral meristems

Primary growth in stems

Epidermis Cortex Primary phloem Primary xylem Pith Pith Primary xylem Secondary xylem

Secondary growth in stems

Periderm Cork cambium The cork cambium adds secondary dermal tissue.

Secondary Vascular cambium phloem Cortex Primary phloem The vascular cambium adds secondary xylem and phloem.

Growth in Woody Plants

Primary and secondary growth occur simultaneously but in different locations This year’s growth (one year old) Last year’s growth (two years old)

Primary Growth

• Primary growth lengthens roots and shoots • Primary growth produces the primary plant body, the parts of the root and shoot systems produced by apical meristems • The primary growth of roots – Produces the epidermis, ground tissue, and vascular tissue Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Primary Growth of Roots

• The root tip is covered by a root cap, which protects the delicate apical meristem as the root pushes through soil during primary growth Epidermis Cortex Vascular cylinder

Secondary Plant Growth

• Secondary growth adds girth to stems and roots in woody plants • Secondary growth – Occurs in stems and roots of woody plants but rarely in leaves • The secondary plant body – Consists of the tissues produced by the vascular cambium and cork cambium Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Primary and Secondary Growth of a Stem

As primary growth continues to elongate the stem, the portion of the stem formed earlier the same year has already started its secondary growth. This portion increases in girth as fusiform initials of the vascular cambium form secondary xylem to the inside and secondary phloem to the outside.

The ray initials of the vascular cambium give rise to the xylem and phloem rays.

As the diameter of the vascular cambium increases, the secondary phloem and other tissues external to the cambium cannot keep pace with the expansion because the cells no longer divide. As a result, these tissues, including the epidermis, rupture. A second lateral meristem, the cork cambium, develops from parenchyma cells in the cortex. The cork cambium produces cork cells, which replace the epidermis.

In year 2 of secondary growth, the vascular cambium adds to the secondary xylem and phloem, and the cork cambium produces cork.

6 6

As the diameter of the stem continues to increase, the outermost tissues exterior to the cork cambium rupture and slough off from the stem.

7

Cork cambium re-forms in progressively deeper layers of the cortex. When none of the original cortex is left, the cork cambium develops from parenchyma cells in the secondary phloem.

Each cork cambium and the tissues it produces form a layer of periderm.

Growth: Cell Division and Cell Expansion

Growth, morphogenesis, and differentiation produce the plant body The three developmental processes of growth, morphogenesis, and cellular differentiation a ct in concert to transform the fertilized egg into a plant By increasing cell number – Cell division in meristems increases the potential for growth • Cell expansion – Accounts for the actual increase in plant size • The plane (direction) and symmetry of cell division – Are immensely important in determining plant form Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Leaf Anatomy

The

epidermis

is covered by a

waxy cuticle

made of cutin to minimize water loss. The cuticle is

transparent

to allow light to penetrate. • Guard cells are modified epidermal cells that contain chloroplasts, are photosynthetic, and control the opening of

stomates

. – Stomata are tiny pores flanked by

guard cells

they allow gas exchange between the leaf and surrounding air. Guard cell behavior is – controlled by turgor pressure. –

Transpiration

is the loss of water through the stomata of plants.

Leaf Anatomy

The inner part of the leaf consists of

palisade parenchyma spongy mesophyll

cells whose function is photosynthesis. and – The cells in the palisade layer are packed tightly, while the spongy cells are loosely packed to allow for diffusion of gases into and out of these cells. Xylem transport water to leaf tissues. Phloem transports “food” from leaf tissues to sink cells. – In phloem, hydrostatic pressure is generated at one side of a sieve tube, forcing sap to the opposite end of the tube (a concept known as

bulk flow

).

Vascular bundles

or veins are located in the mesophyll and carry water and nutrients from the soil to the leaves and also carry sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Specialized mesophyll cells called

bundle sheath cells

surround the veins and separate them from the rest of the mesophyll.

Leaf Adaptations to Various Environments

• Many leaves have specialized adaptations to various environments: – small leaves found on conifers reduce water loss – succulents have leaves modified for storing water – cacti have spines – modified leaves that reduce water loss – C4 and CAM plants Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
