tube and generative nuclei
|
|
Tube nucleus
|
is vegetative i.e. non-reproductive and grows into pollen tube.

How are the two sperm nuclei delivered?
|
pollen tube grows down style into the ovary and delivers the two sperm nuclei
|
|
A.O.G.

Cycadophyta, Ginkophyta, Gnetophyta, Coniferophyta
|
|
Phylum Cycadophyta (Gymnosperms)
|
thrived during the mesozoic era- age of the dinosaurs
-resemble palm trees with evergreen leaves and unbranched trunks -sperms have flagella- primitive character EX. Zamia |
|
Phylum Ginkgophyta (Gymnosperms)
|
only one species Ginkgo biloba
-Commonly called maidenhair tree deciduous fanlike leaves. -Popular ornamental trees due to tolerance towards insects, fungi, and pollution. -Dioecious. -Landscapers prefer male over females as the latter produce stinky seeds. Have motile sperms similar to Cycads. -Not found in the wild. Could be extinct already. |
|
Phylum Gnetophyta (gymnosperms)
|
smallest group
-some are tropical and other live in deserts -Very distinctive in appearance and closely resembles flowering plants. (Both internal and external structures) |
|
(Phylum Gnetophyta)
Genus Gnetum |
-includes about 35 species of tropical trees, shrubs, and vines, mainly native to Africa and Asia.
-Leaves looks similar to those of flowering plants. -Seeds look somewhat like fruits. |
|
(Phylum Gnetophyta)
Genus Ephedra |
-includes about 40 species that inhabit arid regions worldwide.
-These desert shrubs, commonly called “Mormon tea”, produce the compound ephedrine, which is used medicinally as decongestant, stimulant and to control hypotension. |
|
(Phylum Gnetophyta)
Genus Welwitschia |
-consist of only one species, Welwitschia mirabilis.
-It lives only in the deserts of southwestern Africa (Namibia and Angola) -Its strap like leaves are among the largest leaves known |
|
Phylum Coniferophyta (gymnosperms
|
conus = cone and ferre = to carry
Many are large trees such as cypresses and redwoods. A few conifer species dominate vast forested regions of the northern hemisphere, where the growing season is relatively short because of latitude or altitude. |
|
Microsporophylls
|
male cones
It bears microsporangium that produce spores |
|
Megasporophylls
|
femal cones and has two spore-producing megasporangia on the upper surface.
|
|
staminate cones
|
male cones
|
|
Male cone
|
has micro-sporangium and it produces diploid microspore mother cell (MMC)
|
|
Microspore mother cell (MMC)
|
undergo meiosis to produce microspores that develops into micro -gametophytes called pollen grains.

|
Mickey mouse
|
|
How many ovules does an ovulate cone scale have?
|
2
|
|
Each ovule contains megasporangium that produces
|
diploid megaspore mother cells (MMC).
|
|
MMC undergo meiosis to produce
|
four haploid cells (megaspore) and only one survives
surviving megaspore undergo mitosis and finally develops into mega gametophyte |
|
Pollination
|
the transfer of pollen to a receptive surface
|
|
Why is pollination mostly windborne?
|
b/c of the presence of a bladder
|
|
The Pollen grain germinates and grows a tube into the
|
archegonium
|
|
The pollen grain tube releases
|
2 non-motile sperm nuclei and one of them disintegrates and the other one fuses with the egg to form a zygote.
