Plant Science Plant Science • Anatomy - Structure • Physiology - Function • Morphology - Shape
Plant Science What Is a Plant? • Living organism • Contains chlorophyll • Can manufacture its own food • Multicellular with rigid cell walls
Non-Vascular Plants Vascular Plants Plant Science Plant Kingdom
Plant Science Vascular Plants Flowering Angiosperms Non-flowering Gymnosperms “Others”
Plant Science Angiosperms • Monocots • Dicots
Plant Science Cotyledons • Monocots • One • Dicots • Two
Monocots Usually parallel Dicots Usually net-like Plant Science Leaf Venation
Plant Science Flower Parts • Monocots • Usually in threes • Dicots • Usually four or five
Plant Science Vascular System • Monocots • Complex arrangement • Dicots • Arranged in a ring
Plant Science Physiological Differences • Monocots are not killed by broadleaf herbicides • Dicots will be killed by broadleaf herbicides
Plant Science Response to Herbicides
Plant Science Plant Classification • Family - Rosaceae • Genus - Rosa • Specific epithet - hybrida • Cultivar – ‘Nearly Wild’
Plant Science Common Names • Goutweed • Bishop’s Weed • Bishop’s Goutweed • Snow on the Mountain
Plant Science Binomial Nomenclature • Developed by Carl von Linné in 1753 • Two word name for each plant or animal • Genusname followed by a descriptive name or specific epithet • Together the two words identify a species
Plant Science Binomial Nomenclature Aegopodium podagraria ‘Variegatum’
Plant Science Cells Tissues Organs What Makes Up a Plant?
Plant Science Plant Cell Cell wall Plasma membrane Vacuole Chloroplast Cytoplasm Nucleus
Plant Science Cells Tissues Organs
Plant Science Plant Tissues • Meristematic • Dermal • Vascular
Plant Science Meristematic Tissues • Apical meristem • Located at the tip of a shoot or root • Lateral meristem • Formed in stems and roots of many plants • Allows plant to grow in diameter • Vascular cambium is a lateral meristem
Plant Science Dermal Tissue • Epidermis • Cuticle • Stomata • Periderm • Protective covering • Lenticels
Plant Science Lenticels
Plant Science Vascular Tissue • Xylem • Conduct water and minerals within the plant • Phloem • Move food (carbohydrates) produced by photosynthesis to other parts of the plant
Plant Science Cells Tissues Organs
Animals Digestive Circulatory Endocrine Plants Root Shoot Plant Science Organ Systems
Plant Science Plant Organs • Roots • Stems • Buds • Leaves • Reproductive structures
Plant Science Root Functions • Anchorage • Absorption • Storage
Plant Science Root Structure Root Hair Root Cap
Plant Science Root Type Fibrous Tap Tuberous
Plant Science Plant Organs • Roots • Stems • Buds • Leaves • Reproductive structures
Plant Science Stem Function • Supports buds and leaves • Provides structure for vascular system
Plant Science Stem Structure • Xylem • Phloem • Cambium Cambium Xylem Phloem
Plant Science Stem Structure • Nodes • Internodes • Lenticels Node Internode Node
