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) |
