Botany for Master Gardeners Kim Conway Texas AgriLife Extension
Carl Linneaus (1707-1778) Binomial nomenclature Based on flower parts Family Genus Species Naming Plants
Plant Categories • Angiosperms • Monocots • Dicots • Gymnosperms • Conifers
Life Cycles • Annuals • Biennials • Perennials • herbaceous • woody
Plant Parts & Functions • Sexual • flower • Asexual • leaves • stems • roots
Roots • Primary Roots • Taproot • Lateral Roots • Fibrous
Roots • Knees • Buttressed • Aerial
Tuberous Roots • No Nodes
Root Structure endodermis epidermis phloem root hair pericycle endodermis casparian strip meristem rootcap
Stems • Support • Vascular System • Buds • Leaf Bud • Flower Bud • Terminal • Lateral/Axillary • Adventitious • Leaves
Meristems • Primary Growth • apical meristem or apex • Secondary Growth • Vascular cambium or cambium
epidermis vascular bundle phloem xylem bundle sheath Primary Growth - Monocot
Primary Growth – dicot or gymnosperm cortex epidermis pith phloem xylem
Secondary Growth - dicots periderm phloem cambium xylem 1 pith ray 2 3 crushed cortex and past year’s phloem
Modified Stems Bulb Corm Tuber Bulb Rhizome
Types of Leaves • Scale leaves • Seed leaves • Spines • Thorns • Tendrils • Brachts • Needles • Simple
Leaves Absorb sunlight for photosynthesis
Pinnate Parallel Palmate Leaf Venation
Double Pinnate Compound Pinnate Compound Palmate Compound Simple Leaf Types
Linear Elliptical Ovate Lanceolate Cordate Leaf Shapes
Leaf Margins • Entire • Sinuate • Crenate • Dentate • Serrate • Incised • Lobed • Cleft
whorled Leave Arrangement • alternate • opposite • whorled
Sexual Plant Parts & Functions (Flowers)
Petal { Stigma } Pistil Style Anther Stamen Ovary Filament Sepal Ovule Receptacle Parts of the Flower
Types of Flowering Plants • Monoecious = 1 House • Corn • Pecan • Dioecious = 2 Houses • Holly • Junipers
Complete = Pistil, Stamen, Petal, Sepals Incomplete = Missing One Perfect = Pistil & Stamen Flowers
How Seeds Form Pollen Germination • Pollination • Pollen tube • Fertilization Growth of Pollen Tube toward Ovule
Types of Flowers • Solitary - one flower per stem • Inflorescence - a cluster of flowers • racemous - indeterminate (flower from the bottom up)
Racemous Flowers • Spike - flowers attached to peduncle - gladiolus
Racemous Flowers • Raceme - individual flowers attached by tiny stems to the peduncle • Bluebonnet
Racemous Flowers • Catkin • Mulberry • birch
Racemous Flowers • Corymb • yarrow
Racemous Flowers • Umbel – • dill, • onion • queen anne’s lace
Racemous Flowers • Head – • sunflower • daisy
Flower Types • cyme - determinate - flower from the top down - top florets open first • dischasium cyme - baby’s breath • helicoid cyme - freesia • scorpioid - tomato (alternate)
Fruit • Fruit consists of the fertilized and mature ovules (seeds) and the ovary wall.
