Overview: The Greening of Earth
• For more than the first 3 billion years of Earth’shistory, the terrestrial surface was lifeless
• Cyanobacteria likely existed on land 1.2 billion
years ago• Around 500 million years ago, small plants,
fungi, and animals emerged on land

• Since colonizing land, plants have diversified intoroughly 290,000 living species
• Land plants are defined as having terrestrial
ancestors, even though some are now aquatic
• Land plants do not include photosynthetic
protists (algae)
• Plants supply oxygen and are the ultimate
source of most food eaten by land animals

Concept 29.1: Land plants evolved from
green algae
• Green algae called charophytes are the closest
relatives of land plants

Morphological and Molecular Evidence
• Many characteristics of land plants also appear ina variety of algal clades, mainly algae
• However, land plants share four key traits withonly charophytes
– Rings of cellulose-synthesizing complexes
– Peroxisome enzymes
– Structure of flagellated sperm
– Formation of a phragmoplast

• Comparisons of both nuclear and chloroplastgenes point to charophytes as the closest living
relatives of land plants
• Note that land plants are not descended from
modern charophytes, but share a common
ancestor with modern charophytes

Adaptations Enabling the Move to Land
• In charophytes a layer of a durable polymer calledsporopollenin prevents exposed zygotes from
drying out
• Sporopollenin is also found in plant spore walls
• The movement onto land by charophyte ancestors
provided unfiltered sun, more plentiful CO2,
nutrient-rich soil, and few herbivores or pathogens
• Land presented challenges: a scarcity of waterand lack of structural support

• The accumulation of traits that facilitated survivalon land may have opened the way to its
colonization by plants
• Systematists are currently debating the
boundaries of the plant kingdom
• Some biologists think the plant kingdom should be
expanded to include some or all green algae
• Until this debate is resolved, we define plants asembryophytes, plants with embryos

Derived Traits of Plants
• Four key traits appear in nearly all land plants butare absent in the charophytes
– Alternation of generations and multicellular,
dependent embryos
– Walled spores produced in sporangia
– Multicellular gametangia
– Apical meristems

Alternation of Generations and Multicellular,Dependent Embryos
• Plants alternate between two multicellular stages,
a reproductive cycle called alternation ofgenerations
• The gametophyte is haploid and produceshaploid gametes by mitosis
• Fusion of the gametes gives rise to the diploidsporophyte, which produces haploid spores bymeiosis

Walled Spores Produced in Sporangia• The sporophyte produces spores in organs called
sporangia
•
Diploid cells called sporocytes undergo meiosisto generate haploid spores
• Spore walls contain sporopollenin, which makes
them resistant to harsh environments

gametangia
•
Female gametangia, called archegonia, produceeggs and are the site of fertilization
• Male gametangia, called antheridia, produce and
release sperm

Mycorrhizae, symbiotic associations between
fungi and land plants that may have helped plants
without true roots to obtain nutrients

•Land plants can be informally grouped based onthe presence or absence of vascular tissue
• Most plants have vascular tissue; these constitute
the vascular plants
• Nonvascular plants are commonly called
bryophytes
• Bryophytes are not a monophyletic group; their
relationships to each other and to vascular plantsis unresolved

•Seedless vascular plants can be divided intoclades
– Lycophytes (club mosses and their relatives)
– Pterophytes (ferns and their relatives)

• Seed plants form a clade and can be divided into
further clades
– Gymnosperms, the “naked seed” plants,
including the conifers
– Angiosperms, the flowering plants

Concept 29.2: Mosses and other nonvascular
plants have life cycles dominated by
gametophytes
• Bryophytes are represented today by three phylaof small herbaceous (nonwoody) plants
– Liverworts, phylum Hepatophyta
– Hornworts, phylum Anthocerophyta
– Mosses, phylum Bryophyta

Bryophyte refers to all nonvascular plants,whereas Bryophyta refers only to the phylum ofmosses

• The height of gametophytes is constrained by lack
of vascular tissues • Rhizoids anchor gametophytes to substrate
• Mature gametophytes produce flagellated sperm
in antheridia and an egg in each archegonium• Sperm swim through a film of water to reach and

•
Bryophyte sporophytes grow out of archegonia,and are the smallest and simplest sporophytes of
all extant plant groups
• A sporophyte consists of a foot, a seta (stalk),
and a sporangium, also called a capsule, whichdischarges spores through a peristome
• Hornwort and moss sporophytes have stomata for
gas exchange; liverworts do not

The Ecological and Economic Importance
of Mosses
• Mosses are capable of inhabiting diverse and
sometimes extreme environments, but are
especially common in moist forests and wetlands
• Some mosses might help retain nitrogen in the
soil

Sphagnum, or“peat moss,
” forms extensivedeposits of partially decayed organic material
known as peat
• Peat can be used as a source of fuel
• Sphagnum is an important global reservoir oforganic carbon
• Overharvesting of Sphagnum and/or a drop inwater level in peatlands could release stored CO2
to the atmosphere

Origins and Traits of Vascular Plants
•
Fossils of the forerunners of vascular plants dateback about 425 million years
• These early tiny plants had independent,
branching sporophytes
• Living vascular plants are characterized by
Life cycles with dominant sporophytes
Vascular tissues called xylem and phloem
Well-developed roots and leaves

L ife Cycles with Dominant Sporophytes •
In contrast with bryophytes, sporophytes ofseedless vascular plants are the larger generation,
as in familiar ferns
• The gametophytes are tiny plants that grow on or
below the soil surface

Transport in Xylem and Phloem
•
Vascular plants have two types of vascular tissue:xylem and phloem
• Xylem conducts most of the water and mineralsand includes dead cells called tracheids
• Water-conducting cells are strengthened by lignin and provide structural support
• Phloem consists of living cells and distributessugars, amino acids, and other organic products
• Vascular tissue allowed for increased height,which provided an evolutionary advantage

Evolution of Roots •
Roots are organs that anchor vascular plants• They enable vascular plants to absorb water and
nutrients from the soil
• Roots may have evolved from subterranean stems

Evolution of Leaves •
Leaves are organs that increase the surface areaof vascular plants, thereby capturing more solar
energy that is used for photosynthesis
• Leaves are categorized by two types
Microphylls, leaves with a single vein
Megaphylls, leaves with a highly branched
vascular system

•
According to one model of evolution, microphyllsevolved as outgrowths of stems
• Megaphylls may have evolved as webbing
between flattened branches

Sporophyl ls and Spore Variations •
Sporophylls are modified leaves with sporangia• Sori are clusters of sporangia on the undersides
of sporophylls
• Strobili are cone-like structures formed from
groups of sporophylls

•
Most seedless vascular plants are homosporous,producing one type of spore that develops into abisexual gametophyte
• All seed plants and some seedless vascular plants
are heterosporous • Heterosporous species produce megaspores,
which give rise to female gametophytes, andmicrospores, which give rise to male
gametophytes

Phylum Lycophyta: Club Mosses, Spike
Mosses, and Quil lworts • Giant lycophytes trees thrived for millions of years
in moist swamps
• Surviving species are small herbaceous plants
• Club mosses and spike mosses have vascular
tissues and are not true mosses

Phylum Pterophyta: Ferns, Horsetai ls, and
Whisk Ferns and Relatives • Ferns are the most diverse seedless vascular
plants, with more than 12,000 species
• They are most diverse in the tropics but also thrive
in temperate forests
• Horsetails were diverse during the Carboniferous
period, but are now restricted to the genus
Equisetum• Whisk ferns resemble ancestral vascular plants
but are closely related to modern ferns

The Significance of Seedless Vascular Plants

The Significance of Seedless Vascular Plants
•
The ancestors of modern lycophytes, horsetails,and ferns grew to great heights during the
Devonian and Carboniferous, forming the first
forests
• Increased growth and photosynthesis removedCO2 from the atmosphere and may have
contributed to global cooling at the end of the
Carboniferous period
• The decaying plants of these Carboniferous
forests eventually became coal
