  1. Land plants: • origins • seedless plants Biol 121, Fall 2010, Tom Buckley 22 Sep 10

  2. Brown and golden algae Phylogeny of land plants green algae green algae

  3. land plants green algae 2n embryo

  4. Probable ancestor: algae at lake edges (periodic drying)

  5. Plant evolution land plants aquatic ancestors vascular plants nonvascular plants seedless vascular plants seed plants naked-seeded plants vessel-seeded plants green algae mosses ferns conifers flowering plants

  6. Diversification of land plants # of spp 9,000 100 15,000 1,200 12,000 800 250,000 seedless plants seed plants Fig 29.7

  7. Diversification of land plants gametophyte = dominant sporophyte = dominant Fig 29.7

  8. walled spores produced in sporangia Characters of land plants function of spores?

  9. apical meristems Characters of land plants function of apical meristems?

  10. Phylum Bryophyta (mosses) Phylum Hepatophyta (liverworts) Phylum Anthocerophyta (hornworts)

  11. liverwort hornwort

  14. Bryophyte life cycle Fig 29.8

  15. Bryophyte life cycle gametes produced in gametangia male: antheridia female: archegonium Fig 29.8

  16. Bryophyte life cycle Fig 29.8

  17. Bryophyte life cycle Fig 29.8

  18. Seedless vascular plants Phylum Pterophyta (ferns, horsetails & relatives) Phylum Lycophyta ("club mosses" & relatives)

  19. Isoetes sp. ("quillwort") tree fern

  20. Equisetum sp. ("horsetail")

  21. Seedless vascular plants: new features Sporophyte is dominant nonvascular vascular Vascular tissue makes large plants possible Sporophylls: modified leaves that bear sporangia permits complex reproductive structures

  22. Fern life cycle

  23. Fern life cycle

  24. Sporangium: spore container Fern life cycle

  25. indusium sorus Sorus (pl. sori) = cluster of sporangia

  26. Sori

  27. Horsetails (Equisetum) Strobilus (pl. strobili) = cluster of sporangia

  28. Horsetails (Equisetum) sporangium sporophyll

  29. Synangium = cluster of 3 fused sporangia Whisk fern (Psilotum)

  30. Phylum Lycophyta Club moss (Lycopodium) Spike moss (Selaginella)
