Carolus Linnaeus - late 18thC Species Plantarum 1753 Systems Naturae 1767 - (24) major categories of plants (Divisions) - (23) vascular (Phanerogams); - (1) non-vascular & vascular (Cryptogams)
K: Plantae - Ordovician - Non-vascular - Silurian - Vascular
Vascular Plants - The Tracheophytes • 1. Have specialized cell type for conducting water - tracheids (early xylem tissue). Also has specialized cell type for conducting sugar - seive cells (phloem tissue). • 2. Lignin in xylem for rigid structural support. • 3. A branching, independent sporophyte.
Vascular Plants - The Tracheophytes(300 mya) • Non-seed Tracheophytes - haploid & diploid generations totally independent • - spores most prominent resting state
Rhyniophyta - the earliest Tracheophytes(extinct by Devonian Period 400 mya) • 1. Simple vascular system (xylem & • phloem) in stem. • 2. “Leaves” flattened scales - no • vascular tissue. • 3. No roots - but rhizomes. • 4. Dichotomous stem branching. • 5. Aerial branches and sporangia at • branch tips. • 6. Spores were in groups of four (?) • tetrads - indicate meiosis • plant body - a sporophyte (2n) • spores - (n) ---> gameophyte (n)--> • sexual reproduction--> sporophyte (2n) • (fossil)
Lignier’s Hypothesis (1903)How Roots Evolved from Stems • ancestoral form --->
Evolution of Leaves • Leaf - a flattened photosynthetic structure emerging from the stem and possessing true vascular tissue. • Probably evolved from sterile sporangia.
Evolution of Leaves • Leaf - a flattened photosynthetic structure emerging from the stem and possessing true vascular tissue. • Complex leaves arose as photosynthetic tissue developed between complex branching patterns
HomosporyThe Most Primitive Spore Process • one type of spore; one type of gametophyte
HeterosporyThe Most Advanced Spore Process • two types of spores; two types of gametophytes • heterospory probably evloved several times
