Phylum Magnoliophyta
• Flowering Plants Angiosperms are heterosporous.
- Female gametophytes are wholly enclosed within sporophyte tissue and reduced to only a few cells.
- At maturity, male gametophytes consist of a germinated pollen grain with three nuclei.

Mature Male Gametophyte
![Page 11: Overview Angiosperms are plants with seeds contained within a vessel (carpel). Largest and most diverse phylum of the Plant Kingdom. Copyright © McGraw-Hill.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c00b1a28abf838cc879d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Fertilization and Seed Development
• After pollination, further development of the male gametophyte may not take place unless the pollen grain is: From a different plant of the same species. From a variety different from that of the
receiving flower.- Under suitable conditions, a pollen tube
grows down between the cells of the stigma and style until it reaches the ovule micropyle.
![Page 12: Overview Angiosperms are plants with seeds contained within a vessel (carpel). Largest and most diverse phylum of the Plant Kingdom. Copyright © McGraw-Hill.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c00b1a28abf838cc879d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Fertilization and Seed Development
• When the pollen tube reaches the micropyle, it continues to the female gametophyte and discharges its contents. Double Fertilization (Fusion) Occurs
- One sperm migrates from the synergid to the egg and forms a zygote.
- Other sperm cell migrates from the synergid and unites with the central cell nuclei producing a triploid endosperm nucleus.

Apomixis and Parthenocarpy
• Apomixis is embryo development without fusion of gametes but with the normal structures otherwise being involved. Fruits that develop from ovaries with
unfertilized eggs are parthenocarpic.- Seedless (Navel oranges)
Seedless watermelon are produced by crossing varieties with different numbers of chromosomes. (Not parthenocarpic)
- Fertilization and seed formation don’t occur.

Specialization Trends in Flowering Plants
• Fossil record suggests flowering plants first appeared about 160 million years ago during the late Jurassic period. Most botanists hypothesize primitive
flowers had numerous spirally-arranged parts that were not fused together and were variable in number.
- Flowers were regular and contained both stamens and pistils.

Specialization Trends in Flowering Plants
• In advanced flowers, the receptacle has fused to the ovary. When the ovary is embedded in the
receptacle, it is said to be inferior.- Flower parts attached to to the top of the
ovary are epigynous. When the ovary is produced on top of the
receptacle, it is said to be superior.- Flower parts attached around the base
are hypogynous.

Specialization Trends in Flowering Plants
• Flowers have tended to become irregular.• Complete flowers contain a calyx, corolla,
stamens, and a pistil. Perfect flowers have stamens and a pistil.
- Imperfect flowers are missing either stamens or a pistil.
• Monoecious plants have both male and female imperfect flowers. Dioecious plants only have only male or
female flowers.

Pollination
• Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from an anther to a stigma.
• Fertilization involves the union of an egg and a sperm. May not occur until days or weeks or even
months after pollination has taken place.

Pollination Ecology
• Throughout the evolutionary history of flowering plants, the pollinators have evidently coevolved with plants. Twenty thousand bee species are included
among current-day pollinators.- Many bee-pollinated flowers are
delicately sweet and fragrant. Flowers pollinated by beetles tend to
have different, stronger odors.

Pollination Ecology
• Moth and butterfly-pollinated flowers also often have sweet fragrances. Night-flying moths tend to visit white or
yellow flowers. Butterflies tend to visit bright blue, yellow,
or orange flowers.- Nectaries are at bottom of corolla tubes.
Situated for specialized mouth parts.

Pollination Ecology
• Flowers visited by birds are often bright red or yellow, and usually have little, if any, odor. Typically large flowers.
• Birds are highly active pollinators and tend to burn energy rapidly. Many bird-pollinated flowers produce
copious amounts of nectar to assure repeated visits.
• Bats tend to visit flowers that open only at night.

Herbaria and Plant Preservation
• Herbaria are essentially libraries of dried, pressed plants, algae, and fungi, arranged and labeled. Properly prepared and maintained
specimens may remain in excellent condition for 300 or more years.
