 Taxonomy
2

• Plants are divided into

two groups
• Based on the presence
or absence of an internal Vascular
Bundles
transport system for
water and dissolved
materials
• Called Vascular System
 Vascular System 3

• Xylem tissue carries water

and minerals upward from
the roots
• Phloem tissue carries sugars
made by photosynthesis from
the leaves to where they will
be stored or used
• Sap is the fluid carried
inside the xylem or phloem
Nonvascular Plants
5

• Do not have vascular

tissue for support or
conduction of
materials
• Called Bryophytes
• Require a constantly
moist environment
Reproduction
• The process by which all
living organisms produce
one of their kinds to
ensure survival of the
species.
Plant Reproduction
REPRODUCTION!

• Asexual Reproduction • Sexual Reproduction

• involves only 1 parent • involves 2 parents
• offspring genetically • offspring genetic mix
identical to parent of both parents
• involves regular body • involves specialized
cells sex cells
• its quick • its slow

1:21
• The reproductive
organ of plants is the
flower.
Petals

• The petals on a
flower are
important for the
plant to attract
pollinators.
Stamen

• The stamen is a male part of the flower

and surrounds the pistil.
• A part of the stamen called the anther
makes pollen for the plant.
• This pollen is important for pollinating
the female flowers and creating more
plants.
•
Pistil

• The pistil is the female

part of a flower.
• During pollination, the egg
(ovule) inside the pistil is
fertilized and becomes a
seed.
Sepal

• The sepals are at the bottom

of the flower and look like
little leaves.
• They are important for
protecting the flower as it
grows.
Receptacle

• The receptacle is the part

of a plant that attaches
the flower to the rest of
the plant.
Plant Reproduction
Sexual reproduction

• In sexual reproduction, two parents are

involved in producing a new individual.
• Offspring is produced by the fusion of
gametes (sex cells) from each parent.
Pollination

• In order to form a zygote, male gametes

in pollen grains have to fuse with egg in
the ovule.
• This is achieved by the process called
pollination.
• Pollination is the process of transferring
pollen grains from the anther – male part
of a flower, to the stigma – female part of
a flower.
• Depending on the pollen landing, pollination can be
classified into two types-
• Self-Pollination: A pollination where the pollen transfer takes
place between the anther and stigma of the same flower.
• Cross-Pollination: A pollination where the pollen transfer
takes place between the anther and the stigma of different
flowers of the same plant or different plants of the same
species.
Asexual Reproduction

• The mode of reproduction by which new plants

are produced without the reproductive unit of
plants – flowers.
• This mode of reproduction occurs without the
fusion of male and female gametes.
• Asexual reproduction produces new plants, which
are the copies of the mother plant.
Types of Asexual Reproduction
Budding

• Budding is the mode of

asexual reproduction,
wherein a new plant is
developed from an
outgrowth plant, called a
bud.
• A bud is generally formed
due to cell division at one
particular site.
Vegetative Propagation

• It is any form of asexual reproduction

occurring in plants, in which new plants are
produced from the vegetative parts of the
plants, i.e. roots, stems or buds.
• Vegetative propagation in plants can occur
both by naturally or also can be artificially
induced by horticulturists.
• Stems – Runners are the stems
which usually grow in a
horizontal form above the
ground.
• They have the nodes where
the buds are formed. These
buds usually grow into a new
plant.
• Roots – A new plant is
developed from
around, inflamed,
modified roots called
tubers.
• Example: Sweet
Potato
• Leaves – In some plants,
detached leaves from the
parent plant can be used to
grow a new plant.
• They exhibit growth of small
plants, called plantlets, on
the edge of their leaves.
• Example: Bryophyllum.
Fragmentation

• This is a mode of asexual reproduction in which a new plant is

produced from a portion of the parent plant.
• Each section or a part of the plants develop into a mature, fully grown
individual.
Spore Formation

• A spore is an asexual
reproductive body,
surrounded by a hard
protective cover to withstand
unfavorable conditions such
as high temperature and low
humidity.
• Under favorable conditions,
the spores germinate and
grow into new plants.

 Asexual Reproduction
• Regeneration –
parent separates into
two or more pieces &
each piece forms
new organism
• In some instances
just a new part grows
• Sponges, sea stars,
jellyfish, planaria
• Also be clones

http://www.starfish.ch/reef/echinoderms.html
Asexual Reproduction

• Parthenogenesis –
growth & development
of embryo without
fertilization by male
• Population all female

http://www.nova.edu/ocean/ghri/bbc_virginshark.html

Many insects; lizards, salamanders, fish, turkeys

Sexual Reproduction – gametes from opposite sexes unite
http://civilliberty.about.com/od/historyprofiles/ss/news080406_2.htm
• Species with sexual reproduction
are said to be dioecous – separate
sexes
• Often exhibit distinct sexual
dimorphism – males and females
look different
• Sperm (male gamete) formed by
meiosis in testes
• Eggs (female gamete) formed by
meiosis in the ovary
 Mating
• Mating – male & female
join together to ensure
fertilization; not
essential to sexual
reproduction

External Fertilization

• Males & females release

sperm & eggs into the
environment – sperm &
egg join outside the body
• Males & females may come
into close proximity
• Eggs & larvae develop
outside the body

Internal fertilization

• Joining of sperm & egg inside the body after

mating
• Ensures selection of mate (not random);
promotes diversity
• Parents protect and care for young
• Does not require water; can occur on land
• Less sex cells produced; increases probability of
successful reproduction
• Common in birds, reptiles & mammals
Internal fertilization;
external development
• After fertilization, larvae
(embryo) are released &
development occurs
outside female body
• Example: Barnacles
