The Study of Plants

Where Do Plants Fit In
• Living Things: Kingdoms – Monera: Cells without nuclei and membranes;
bacteria
– Protista: cells with nuclei and organelles;
amoebae, algae, diatoms, slime molds
– Fungi: cell walls of chitin, mitosis and meiosis different from Plantae, heterotrophs
– Plantae: mostly autotrophic, cell walls of cellulose
– Animalia: multicellular, no cell walls, no photosynthesis

Vascular Plants
• Gymnosperms: nonflowering (naked) seed plants (mostly conifers)

• Monocots--one seed leaf: grasses (grains), lilies, orchids, irises
• Dicots--two seed leaves: peas, tomatoes, most deciduous trees
![Page 5: BOTANY - Piedmont Master Gardenerspiedmontmastergardeners.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/...Gene Dominance • If S is dominant over s when SS is mated to ss all of the offspring will](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051823/5fed2d4717718d67b85e7082/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Scientific names
• Based on classification
• In angiosperms based on flower structure
• Uniformity among texts and discussions
• Often tell us something about the plant
![Page 6: BOTANY - Piedmont Master Gardenerspiedmontmastergardeners.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/...Gene Dominance • If S is dominant over s when SS is mated to ss all of the offspring will](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051823/5fed2d4717718d67b85e7082/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Gymnosperms
• Fruitless seed plants: ovule not
enclosed in an ovary. (Ovary becomes
the fruit in angiosperms.)
• Modified leaves form scales of cones or
the fleshy coverings in yews and
junipers

– Temperature: some require a period of
cold
– Moisture
– Light
– Oxygen (water logged soil may prevent
germination)

ROOTS
• Have no nodes
• Never bear leaves or flowers directly
• Have a root cap
• Are the first structure to develop from a
seed
• Function: absorb water and nutrients
– Anchor the plant
– Furnish physical support for the stem
– Serve a food storage

Mycorrhizae
• From mykes or fungus and rhiza or root
• Symbiotic relationships between fungi
and plant roots: the fungi get sugars or
food and the plants absorption of water
and minerals is greatly enhanced
• Occurs in >80% of vascular plants
![Page 19: BOTANY - Piedmont Master Gardenerspiedmontmastergardeners.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/...Gene Dominance • If S is dominant over s when SS is mated to ss all of the offspring will](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051823/5fed2d4717718d67b85e7082/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Specialized Roots
• Tap root: large main root taps deep for water, develops from radicle and produces lateral roots
• Fibrous root (a form of adventious root) common in monocots and seedless plants
• Adventious root: not from radicle
• Aerial root arises from stem (ivy, orchid)
• Buttress root (Ficus)
• Suckers
• Pneumatophores provide oxygen in wet areas

Plant Stems
• Support the weight of leaves
• Conduct water and minerals up to
leaves and food down to roots in the
vascular tissue
• Complex growth: produces leaves and
branches at nodes as well as lengthens
![Page 22: BOTANY - Piedmont Master Gardenerspiedmontmastergardeners.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/...Gene Dominance • If S is dominant over s when SS is mated to ss all of the offspring will](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051823/5fed2d4717718d67b85e7082/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Meristem or Cambium
• Site of cell division and growth located
between phloem and xylem
• At nodes and at the tip meristem tissue
forms buds.
• Meristem cells are undiffferentiated:
origin of all other cells
– Flower parts are modified leaves

Specialized stems
• Rhizome: horizontal underground stem with (nodes and buds); iris, bermudagrass
• Bulbs: shortened, compressed stem surrounded by leaves (scales) that envelop a flower bud
• Corm: similar to bulb with scales reduced to dry covering
• Tuber: enlarged portion of underground stem; potato with nodes as “eyes”

Leaves
• Site of photosynthesis. Plants are photoautotrophs: they use light to make their own organic compounds and oxygen.
• Light is the energy source and CO2 is the carbon source.
• Plants also respire but the net effect is the production of oxygen in excess of carbon dioxide.

Leaf Arrangement
• Simple. Opposite, alternate, whorled
• Compound: Leaflets Palmate, Pinnate
or Double Pinnate
• **Leaves attach to stems at nodes and
buds occur only at nodes.
• (a common error is to mistake a leaflet
for a leaf)

Hybrid
• Hybrid: a plant or animal which is the
offspring of parents differing in one or
more characteristics. The parents may
be of the same or different species.
• Species:a group of individuals if nearly
identical structure and behavior which
can ordinarily interbreed and maintain
their characteristic in nature.
![Page 41: BOTANY - Piedmont Master Gardenerspiedmontmastergardeners.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/...Gene Dominance • If S is dominant over s when SS is mated to ss all of the offspring will](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051823/5fed2d4717718d67b85e7082/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Genetic variability
• In a given species or variety a gene may
have quite a variable expression.
• Example: apple trees have so much
variability that to propagate a standard one
must use grafted stock. If one uses seeds
the two parent trees contribute such different
characteristics that one usually gets
something very different from either parent.
![Page 42: BOTANY - Piedmont Master Gardenerspiedmontmastergardeners.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/...Gene Dominance • If S is dominant over s when SS is mated to ss all of the offspring will](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051823/5fed2d4717718d67b85e7082/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Gene Dominance
• If S is dominant over s when SS is mated to
ss all of the offspring will appear S. The
offspring will be Ss.
(The Ss is the hybrid.) If Ss is mated to Ss, the
offspring will be SS, Ss or ss and the ss will
appear different.
If there are multiple genes acting in such a way
the offspring of the hybrids may have many
differences from the hybrids.

Propagation from Seeds
• The offspring may vary from the parents
because of genetic variability or if the
parent was a hybrid.
• This may be desired in some cases, but
in apples usually the offspring are not
tasty.

habitat for selaginellas and ferns

Adaptations of Plants
• Drought tolerance
– Succulents have large vacuoles to store
water
– Waxy coats to avoid water loss
– Small leaves or needles to decrease
surface area (less effect from wind)
– Stomata close during the day (cacti)
– Hairs on leaves to collect moisture
