The Flower, Pollination, the Seed, and Photoperiodism
![Page 2: Angiosperm Reproduction](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081416/56812bcb550346895d902076/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Sexual Reproduction in Angiosperms
Gametes are delicate single cells. For two plants to cross fertilize, there must be a mechanism for the two gametes to reach each other safely.
There must also be a mechanism to disperse their offspring far enough away from the parent so that they do not have to compete with the parent for light, water, and soil minerals.
The functions of the flower solve both of these problems.

PollinationThe act of pollen (male gamete) being
transferred from anther to stigmaUsually accomplished by wind or
animals

The Flower The flower consists of 4 concentric whorls of
tissue
1. a whorl of sepals (collectively called the calyx)
2. a whorl of petals (collectively called the corolla)
3. stamens in which the microsporangia (sperm) form
4. carpels in which the megasporangia (eggs) form.

Conditions of GerminationFor successful germination seeds require a
combination of …oxygen for aerobic respiration water to metabolically activate the cells temperature for optimal function of
enzymes
Each seed has its own particular combination of the above three factors.
![Page 17: Angiosperm Reproduction](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081416/56812bcb550346895d902076/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In addition particular species need other more specialized conditions such as:
fire freezing passing through digestive system of a seed dispersing
animal washing to remove inhibitors (beans) erosion of the seed coat (Poppy)
The particular conditions required by a seed allows it to match germination to favourable conditions

Seed Germination1. Rehydration of cells stimulates metabolism
(enzymatic pathways startup)
2. Gibberellin (hormone) produced in cotyledon
3. Gibberellin stimulates amylase production4. Starch is digested in maltose5. Maltose is transported to radicle and
plumule6. Maltose converted to glucose, used for
cellular respiration or cellulose production

Photoperiodism Many plants have the ability to measure the length of the sun cycle.
This allows them to schedule their flowering period for a specific time of year
Experiments have proven that plants measure night length, not day
![Page 21: Angiosperm Reproduction](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081416/56812bcb550346895d902076/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
PhotoperiodismLong Day Plants
(LDP)Plants will only
flower after a minimum amount of daylight is achieved.
Typical of plants living in higher altitudes
Usually during spring or summer
Short Day Plants (SDP)Plants that only
flower when the day is shorter than a maximum time period
Usually during fall or winter
![Page 22: Angiosperm Reproduction](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081416/56812bcb550346895d902076/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Photoperiodism also explains why some plant species can be grown only in a certain latitude.
Spinach, a long-day plant, cannot flower in the tropics because the days never get long enough (14 hours)
Ragweed, a short-day plant, fails to thrive in northern Maine because by the time the days become short enough to initiate flowering, a killing frost in apt to occur before reproduction and the formation of seeds is completed.
![Page 23: Angiosperm Reproduction](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081416/56812bcb550346895d902076/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Phytochrome System: The receptor of photoperiod is located within
the leaf.The cellular location of the receptor is
unclear.The chemical nature of the receptor is a the
molecule phytochrome. Phytochrome can be converted from one form
to another by different types of light.
![Page 24: Angiosperm Reproduction](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081416/56812bcb550346895d902076/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Flowering in SDPShort day plants flower when the night period is long. In day light or red light, Phytochrome Red (Pr) is
converted to Phytochrome Far Red (Pfr). The conversion actually only requires a brief exposure to
white or red light.
In the dark, Pfr is slowly converted back to Pr. A long night means that there is a long time for the
conversion.
Under short day conditions (long night) at the end of the night period the concentration of Pfr is low.
In SDP, low Pfr concentration is the trigger for flowering.
![Page 25: Angiosperm Reproduction](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081416/56812bcb550346895d902076/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Flowering in LDP:Long day plants flower when the night period is short.
In day light (white or red) the Pr is converted to Pfr.
During periods when the day light period is long but critically the dark period is short, Pfr does not have long to breakdown in the dark. Consequently there remains a higher concentration
of Pfr.
In LDP, high Pfr concentration is the trigger to flowering.
