Plant Structure, Reproduction, and Development (Sections 7 and 8)


A Gentle Giant• Gymnosperms

– Are one of two groups of seed plants

– Bear seeds in cones


• Angiosperms, or flowering plants

– Are the most familiar and diverse group of plants


TALKING ABOUT SCIENCE

31.1 Plant scientist Natasha Raikhel studies the Arabidopsis plant as a model biological system

• Natasha Raikhel

– Is one of America’s most prominent plant biologists

Figure 31.1A


• Dr. Raikhel works with Arabidopsis

– A popular model organism for studying biological systems

Figure 31.1B


PLANT STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

31.2 The two main groups of angiosperms are the monocots and the dicots

• Monocots and dicots differ in

– The number of seed leaves and in the structure of roots, stems, leaves, and flowers

Figure 31.2

Onecotyledon Main veins usually parallel

Vascular bundles in complex arrangement

Floral parts usuallyin multiples of three

Twocotyledons Main veins usually branched

Vascular bundles arranged in ring

Floral parts usually inmultiples of four or five

Taprootusually present

DICOTS


31.3 A typical plant body consists of roots and shoots

• A plant’s root system

– Anchors it in the soil

– Absorbs and transports minerals and water and stores food


• The shoot system of a plant

– Is made up of stems, leaves, and adaptations for reproduction, flowers

31.4 Many plants have modified roots, stems, and leaves

• Some plants have unusually large taproots

– That store food in the form of carbohydrates

31.5 Plant cells and tissues are diverse in structure and function

• Most plant cells have three unique structures

– Chloroplasts, the sites of photosynthesis

– A central vacuole containing fluid

– A cell wall that surrounds the plasma membraneChloroplast Central

• The dermal tissue system

– Covers and protects the plant

• The vascular tissue system

– Contains xylem and phloem and provides long-distance transport and support

• The ground tissue system

– Consists of parenchyma cells and supportive collenchyma and sclerenchyma cells


PLANT GROWTH

31.7 Primary growth lengthens roots and shoots

• Meristems, areas of unspecialized, dividing cells

– Are where plant growth originates


• Apical meristems

– Are located in the tips of roots and in the terminal and axillary buds of shoots

– Initiate primary (lengthwise) growth by producing new cells

Figure 31.7A

Terminal bud

Axillary buds

Arrows = direction of growth


• Roots are covered with a root cap

– That protects the cells of the apical meristem

31.8 Secondary growth increases the girth of woody plants

• Secondary growth arises from cell division

– In a cylindrical meristem called the vascular cambium


• The vascular cambium thickens a stem

– By adding layers of secondary xylem, or wood, next to its inner surface

Control Systems in Plants


What Are the Health Benefits of Soy?

• Soy protein

– Is one of the few plant proteins that contains all the essential amino acids


• Phytoestrogens, a class of plant hormones

– Are found in soy

• Soy products contain isoflavones

– A type of phytoestrogen that may provide human health benefits

PLANT HORMONES

33.1 Experiments on how plants turn toward light led to the discovery of a plant hormone

• Plants exhibit phototropism

– The growth of shoots in response to light

Figure 33.1A


• Microscopic observations of plants

– Indicate that a cellular mechanism underlies phototropism

Showing That Light Is Detected by the Shoot Tip

• Charles Darwin showed that the tip of a grass seedling detects light

– And transmits a signal down to the growing region of a shoot

Isolating the Chemical Signal

• The hormone auxin

– Was determined to affect phototropism

– Promotes faster cell elongation on the shaded site of the shoot

33.2 Five major types of hormones regulate plant growth and development

• Even in small amounts, plant hormones

– Trigger signal transduction pathways

– Regulate plant growth and development


• The major types of plant hormones

Table 33.2


33.3 Auxin stimulates the elongation of cells in young shoots

• Plants produce auxin (IAA)

– In the apical meristems at the tips of shoots


• At different concentrations, auxin

– Stimulates or inhibits the elongation of shoots and roots

• Auxin promotes growth in stem diameter

– By stimulating the development of vascular tissues and cell division in vascular cambium


33.4 Cytokinins stimulated cell division

• Cytokinins

– Are produced by growing roots, embryos, and fruits

– Promote cell division


• Cytokinins from roots may balance the effects of auxin from apical meristems

– Causing lower buds to develop into branches

Figure 33.4

No terminal bud


33.5 Gibberellins affect stem elongation and have numerous other effects

• Gibberellins

– Stimulate the elongation of stems

Figure 33.5A


• Gibberellins

– Stimulate the development of fruit

– Function in embryos in some of the early events of seed germination

Figure 33.5B


33.6 Abscisic acid inhibits many plant processes

• Abscisic acid (ABA)

– Inhibits the germination of seeds

• The ratio of ABA to gibberellins

– Often determines whether a seed will remain dormant or germinate


• Seeds of many plants remain dormant

– Until their ABA is inactivated or washed away

Figure 33.6


• ABA also acts as a “stress hormone”

– Causing stomata to close when a plant is dehydrated


33.7 Ethylene triggers fruit ripening and other aging processes

• As fruit cells age

– They give off ethylene, which triggers a variety of aging processes


Fruit Ripening

• Ethylene

– Triggers fruit ripening

The Falling of Leaves

• A changing ratio of auxin to ethylene

– Is triggered by shorter days

– Probably causes autumn color changes and the loss of leaves from deciduous trees

CONNECTION

33.8 Plant hormones have many agricultural uses

• Farmers use auxin

– To delay or promote fruit drop

Figure 33.8


• Auxins and gibberellins

– Are used to produce seedless fruits

• A synthetic auxin called 2,4-D

– Is used to kill weeds

– Has safety questions associated with its use
