Symbiotic

Relationship between plants and other species.


E.g. Bee pollination they get pollen in return.

Spores

Diploid Sporophytes produces these by meiosis and they grow into haploid gametophytes.

Gametes

Produced by gametophytes by mitosis. Fertilization of these produce Sporophytes (alternation of generations)

Recepticle

Where the flowers (reproductive shiots of angiosperm sporophyte)


Attach at the stem.

Flower consists of

Sepals


Petals


Stamen


And carpels

Stamen consists of

Filament topped with an anther with pollen sacs that produce pollen(male gametophyte)

Carpels consists of

a long style with a stigma on which pollen may land.


At the base of the style is an ovary containing one or more ovules

Pistol

Single or group of fused carpels.

Complete flowers

Has all four floral organs

Incomplete flowers

Lack one or more floral organs

Inflorescences

Clusters of flowers such as sunflowers flower being made up of many flowers

Anther produce

Pollen male gametes

If a pollen grain will produce what if pollination is successful.

Pollen tube that grows down into the ovary and discharges sperm near embryo sac

Pollen grain consists of

2 sperm and the spore wall

Within an ovule

An embryo sac which has 2 polar nuclei (n) and one egg.

Pollination is

Transfer of pollen from anther to stigma.

Double fertilization

One sperm fertilizing the egg and the other combines with the polar nuclei giving rise to (3n) food storing endosperm.

Fruit comes from


While vegetables come from

The ovary and all other parts of the plant.


seeds come from ovule.

Catyledons

Primordial leaf


Difference between mono and Dicots.


Endosperm can export food stores to it.

dormancy

seed waits for ideal time to grow and uses food stored in endosperm.


dormancy break caused by


temp, lighting, fire, rain, chemical digestion.

radicle

the first growth from a seed.


embryonic root. the shoot will then grow out of the soil.

imbibition

germination depends on


the uptake of water due to low water potential of the dry seed.

fruits can be

Dry or fleshy


if the ovary dries out at maturity.

simple fruits
a fruit from 1 flower with 1 carpel
aggregate fruit
from 1 flower and multiple carpels (e.g. raspberry or blackberry)
multiple fruit

from a group of flowers called an inflorescene


e.g. pineapple

accessory fruit

contains other floral parts in addition to ovaries.


e.g. apples

fruit dispersal methods

water, wind, and animals


seed spread farther as to not compete for nutrients

Fragmentaition

Asexual reproduction of a parent plant into


parts


that develop into whole plants.

Apimixis

Asexual reproduction of an unfertilized seed

Benifit of asexual vs sexual reproduction

More offspring survive in stable environment(a fraction survive in sexual reproduction),


doesn't need pollination,


or a suitable mate,


faster and less energy needed.

Benifit of sexual vs asexual reproduction

Less vulnerable to local extinction, can adapt to environmental changes through evolutionary adaptation posible.



Dioecious

Species with staminate and carpellate on separate flower.


Prevents self fertilization. Different from some flowers where stamen and carpels maturing at different times.

Self-incompatibility

Plant recognize pollen as coming from its own anther and blocks growth of pollen tube.

Callus


(clone from cutting)

Mass of undifferentiated cells that form where a stem is cut and produces adventurous roots.

Grafting

A twig or bud grafted onto a plant that is closely related species.


(A stem of one tree onto a root of an other)

Transgenic

Genetically modified


(gmo) to express a gene that comes from another organism.

Protoplast fusion

Creates a hybrid plant by fusing protoplasts when cell walls are removed.

Hybridization

In nature or through breeders to introduce new genes into a plant. e.g. artificial selection of corn plants.


To increase yield.

Mutation

Can arise spontaneously and be used in breading desired traits in a plant.


E.g. the grain triticale comes from a successful cross between wheat and rye.(high yield and survivability)

Plant biotech

Use of plants to make useful products.



Specifically through the use of genetic modification (GMO) on industry and agriculture.

Benifit of genetic modification

Increase yield and quality of food.



Proteins that defend against insects.


Tolerate herbicides.


Resistance to specific diseases.



Improve nutrition of plants e.g. golden rice that contains vitamin A and helps prevent blindness in children in the worlds poor.

Detriment of GMO

Much is Unknown


Allergic reaction in humans


Affect Nontarget organism. E.g. bees killed by plants with insect defence proteins.



Potential crop to weed hybridization could lead to herbicide tolerant weeds.

Efforts to prevent spread of GM plants.

Male sterility (no pollen can't spread)


Will need nearby no gmo plant to pollinate.



Apomixis (no pollen needed) for seed production



Transgenes in chloroplasts (this won't transfer into the pollen)



Strict self-pollination (flower doesn't open to release pollen)
