Tracheophytes
Seedless Seeded
Ferns use spores
Gymnosperms Angiosperms
“naked” or exposed
seeds
Flowers produce fruit / enclosed
seeds
ANGIOSPERMS (Anthophyta-Flowering plants)The two Seeded Tracheophyte groups are divided by whether or not they have enclosed seeds -protected inside a fruit or if seeds are exposed to the environment.
Angiosperm Gymnosperms
Seeds surrounded by ovary Seeds naked

Angiosperms vs Gymnosperm
• With about 250,000 known species, the angiosperms are by far the most diverse and widespread group of land plants.
• More than 90% of existing plant species• Contains more than 450 families &13.000
genera; classified mainly by flower structure• As primary producers, flowering plants are at
the base of the food web of nearly every terrestrial ecosystem.
General characteristics of Angiosperms
Taxonomy of Angiosperm • Angiosperms are further divided into 4 major
categories:– Basal Angiosperms (older angiosperms like Water
lilies)– Magnoliids (Share some traits with basal angiosperms
but are more closely related to monocots and eudicots, like the Magnolia)
– Monocotyledons– Dicotyledons and/or Eudicotyledons

The Angiosperm Life Cycle
• In the angiosperm life cycle– Double fertilization occurs when a pollen tube
discharges two sperm into the female gametophyte within an ovule
– One sperm fertilizes the egg, while the other combines with two nuclei in the center cell of the female gametophyte and initiates development of food-storing endosperm
• The endosperm– Nourishes the developing embryo
• The reduced gametophytes of seed plants are protected in ovules and pollen grains
• In addition to seeds, the following are common to all seed plants– Reduced gametophytes– Heterospory– Ovules– Pollen

Anthers contain microsporangia.Each microsporangium contains micro-sporocytes (microspore mother cells) thatdivide by meiosis, producing microspores.1
Microspores formpollen grains (containingmale gametophytes). Thegenerative cell will divideto form two sperm. Thetube cell will produce thepollen tube.
2
In the megasporangiumof each ovule, themegasporocyte divides bymeiosis and produces fourmegaspores. The survivingmegaspore in each ovuleforms a female gametophyte(embryo sac).
3
After pollina-tion, eventuallytwo sperm nucleiare discharged ineach ovule.
4
Double fertilization occurs. One spermfertilizes the egg, forming a zygote. Theother sperm combines with the two polarnuclei to form the nucleus of the endosperm,which is triploid in this example.
5
The zygotedevelops into an
embryo that ispackaged alongwith food into aseed. (The fruit
tissues surround-ing the seed are
not shown).
6
When a seedgerminates, the
embryo developsinto a mature
sporophyte.

Parasitic Plants
• Derive all or some nutrients from host plant
• Parasitic plants have a modified root, the haustorium, that penetrates the host plant and connects to the xylem, phloem, or both, in stems or roots of the host plant.
• Examples: Mistletoe, Dodder, Rafflesia
Cuscuta japonica-Japanese Dodder- Cinsaçı
Viscum album-Mistletoe- Ökseotu
Rafflesia
• World’s the biggest flower
• Indonesia- Sumatra & Borneo
• Up to 1 m diam• 10 kg• Lives only one
week
Carnivorous Plants• Grow in nutrient poor soil such as bogs.• High acidity in bogs prevents growth of much-
needed nitrogen cycle bacteria• Most plants cannot grow in such soil• Carnivorous plants evolved a mechanism to trap
and digest insects• This adaptation helped them overcome the
nitrate dilemma • Examples: Pitcher plants, sundews, Venus fly-
trap
Venus Flytrap
Nephenthes(Pitcher plant -sürahi , maşrapa bitkisi )
Utricularia (Bladderwort-sumiğferi)
Drosera (Sundews-Güneşgülü)
Dionea(Venus flytrap-Sinekkapan, böcekkapan)
Epiphytes• Plants that attach to other plants
• Epiphytes usually derive only physical support and not nutrition from their host, though they may sometimes damage the host. Hence, they are NOT parasitic
• They do this to get more light and rain water in a rainforest canopy

Rootsystem
• Millions of tiny roots hairs in these tip areas help absorption by increasing surface area
• Roots are multicellular organs with important functions:
Anchoring the plantAbsorbing minerals and waterStoring organic nutrients
Plant Morphology - Roots
Taproots Fibrous rootsTypical of dicots, primary root forms and small branch roots grow from it
In monocots mostly, primary root dies, replaced by new roots from stem
Roots - Comparisons
Fibrous• No main root• Fast absorption of surface water• Holds soil – prevention of erosion
Taproot• 1 main root• Smaller secondary roots• Strong anchorage• Absorbs deep water
• A taproot system consists of one main vertical root that gives rise to some large lateral roots, or branch roots.
• Adventitious roots arise from stems or leaves.
• Seedless vascular plants and monocots have a fibrous root system characterized by many thin lateral roots with no main root.
• In most plants, absorption of water and minerals occurs near the root hairs, where vast numbers of tiny root hairs increase the surface area.
Plant Morphology - Stems• Herbaceous
Plant
Leaves are the major photosynthetic parts of most plants. They are borne at the nodes of a stem, usually below a bud. They are usually flat, and have one surface facing towards the stem axis (the adaxial, or upper, surface) and another surface facing away from the stem axis (the abaxial, or lower, surface).
Plant Morphology- Leaves
Type of leaves– Simple = blade not divided into smaller leaflets– Compound = blade divided into smaller parts that look
like small leaves (but lack axillary buds)
Leaf Structure - A leaf with a single blade is termed simple; a leaf with two or more blades, or leaflets, is said to be compound. The distinction between simple and compound leaves can be made by locating the axillary bud: an axillary bud is subtended by an entire leaf and never by individual leaflets.
• a flower is a specialized shoot that:
1. has a modified stem with compressed internodes
2. possesses modified leaves with various functions
3. often clustered in an inflorescence (larger branch)
The Flower — What is it?
Plant Morphology - FLOWER
2. Receptacle: modified floral stem or axis from which arise the floral appendages or modified leaves
3. Sepal: the outer whorl of leaves, green and protection; collectively called the calyx
4. Petal: the second whorl of leaves, typically brightly colored, attracting pollinators; collectively called the corolla
5. Perianth: collective term for sepals and petals (Tepals if both similar)
1. Peduncle: floral stalk, the stem supporting the flower; sometimes referred to as the pedicel
The Flower
8. Stamen: the male structure of flower comprising filament and anther
• collectively, stamens are the androecium (= ‘house of males’)
• can be leaf-like in primitive angiosperms
The Flower
6. Filament: slender stalk of the stamen supporting the anther; permits exsertion of pollen out of flower
7. Anther: fertile portion of stamen that dehisces to release pollen grains; composed of anther sacs
The Flower13. Pistil: flask-shaped, female structure comprising three main parts
• often referred to as carpel(s)
• all pistils (1 or more) are referred to as the gynoecium (= ‘house of females’)
9. Ovary: basal portion of pistil that contains ovules; at maturity becomes fruit with seeds
10. Ovules: fertile portions of pistil that contain a female gametophyte (embryo sac); develop into seeds after fertilization
12. Stigma: receptive portion at top of style that receives and recognizes pollen
11. Style: slender stalk of pistil above ovary that the pollen tubes must pass through to reach eggs in ovules
Plant Morphology - Fruit = “mature ovary”
purpose: protects seeds, dispersal aid
Relationship between a pea flower and a fruit (pea pod)
Fruit or vegetable?• botanical:
– Ripened ovary
• Legal– Something that tastes sweet and is eaten as
dessert
Pericarp• The pericarp is what develops from the ovary wall.
It has three layers that widely in structure depending on the fruit:
• Exocarp – The outer layer.• Mesocarp – The middle layer.• Endocarp – The inner layer.
SeedsSeeds develop from ovules and contain embryonic plant plus nutritive tissue & tough outer coat
Embryo. Young sporophyte consisting of epicotyl, hypocotyl, radicle, and one or more cotyledons. Endosperm. Food reserve tissue in seed derived from fertilized polar nuclei; or food reserve derived from megametophyte in gymnosperms. Hilum. Funicular scar on seed coat. Micropyle. Hole through seed coat. Seed Coat. Outer protective covering of seed. Coleoptile. Protective sheath around epicotyl in grasses. Coleorhiza. Protective sheath around radicle in grasses. Cotyledon. Embryonic leaf or leaves in seed. Used for food until the 1st true leaves emerge and the new plant can start to photosynthesisEpicotyl. Apical end of embryo axis that gives rise to shoot system. Hypocotyl. Embryonic stem in seed, located below cotyledons. Plumule. Embryonic leaves in seed derived from epicotyl. Radicle. Basal end of embryo axis that gives rise to root system.
