3 Concept 29.1: Land plants evolved from green algae Green algae called charophytes are the closest relatives of land plants © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

4 Morphological and Molecular Evidence Many characteristics of land plants also appear in a variety of algal clades, mainly algae However, land plants share four key traits with only charophytes – Rings of cellulose-synthesizing complexes – Peroxisome enzymes – Structure of flagellated sperm – Formation of a phragmoplast © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

5 Comparisons of both nuclear and chloroplast genes 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 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

7 Adaptations Enabling the Move to Land In charophytes a layer of a durable polymer called sporopollenin 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 CO 2, nutrient-rich soil, and few herbivores or pathogens Land presented challenges: a scarcity of water and lack of structural support © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

8 The accumulation of traits that facilitated survival on 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 as embryophytes, plants with embryos © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

10 Derived Traits of Plants Four key traits appear in nearly all land plants but are absent in the charophytes – Alternation of generations and multicellular, dependent embryos – Walled spores produced in sporangia – Multicellular gametangia – Apical meristems © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

11 Alternation of Generations and Multicellular, Dependent Embryos Plants alternate between two multicellular stages, a reproductive cycle called alternation of generations The gametophyte is haploid and produces haploid gametes by mitosis Fusion of the gametes gives rise to the diploid sporophyte, which produces haploid spores by meiosis © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

12 The diploid embryo is retained within the tissue of the female gametophyte Nutrients are transferred from parent to embryo through placental transfer cells Land plants are called embryophytes because of the dependency of the embryo on the parent © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

26 Land plants can be informally grouped based on the 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 plants is unresolved © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

27 Seedless vascular plants can be divided into clades – Lycophytes (club mosses and their relatives) – Pterophytes (ferns and their relatives) Seedless vascular plants are paraphyletic, and are of the same level of biological organization, or grade © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

28 A seed is an embryo and nutrients surrounded by a protective coat Seed plants form a clade and can be divided into further clades – Gymnosperms, the “naked seed” plants, including the conifers – Angiosperms, the flowering plants © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

38 Bryophyte Sporophytes 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, which discharges spores through a peristome Hornwort and moss sporophytes have stomata for gas exchange; liverworts do not © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

46 Concept 29.3: Ferns and other seedless vascular plants were the first plants to grow tall Bryophytes and bryophyte-like plants were the prevalent vegetation during the first 100 million years of plant evolution Vascular plants began to diversify during the Devonian and Carboniferous periods Vascular tissue allowed these plants to grow tall Seedless vascular plants have flagellated sperm and are usually restricted to moist environments © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

54 Transport in Xylem and Phloem Vascular plants have two types of vascular tissue: xylem and phloem Xylem conducts most of the water and minerals and includes dead cells called tracheids Water-conducting cells are strengthened by lignin and provide structural support Phloem consists of living cells and distributes sugars, amino acids, and other organic products Vascular tissue allowed for increased height, which provided an evolutionary advantage © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

55 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 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

56 Evolution of Leaves Leaves are organs that increase the surface area of 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 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

57 According to one model of evolution, microphylls evolved as outgrowths of stems Megaphylls may have evolved as webbing between flattened branches © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

59 Classification of Seedless Vascular Plants There are two phyla of seedless vascular plants – Phylum Lycophyta includes club mosses, spike mosses, and quillworts. – (Roots branch only at the growing tip of the root forming a Y- shape) – Phylum Pterophyta includes ferns, horsetails, and whisk ferns and their relatives. – (Have megaphyl leaves, roots that can branch at various point along the length of an existing root) © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

62 Phylum Lycophyta: Club Mosses, Spike Mosses, and Quillworts 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 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

63 Phylum Pterophyta: Ferns, Horsetails, 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 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

64 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 removed CO 2 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 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
