Why do cells divide

Mitosis- form new cells/tissues. Overall growth & development of the plant.

Meiosis + Mitosis

Life cycle. Alternation of generations

Chromosomes/ State of Ploidy

Inactive state of DNA seen only during cell division. Gamophyte generation.

Haploid

1 copy of each gene. Spores or spore cells

Diploid

2 copies of each gene. Yield haploid cells

Sporophyte generation

Haploid, diploid, polyploid

Division =

Mitosis or meiosis

G1 is an organizational phase called

Molecular checkpoint

The molecular checkpoint

Determines if cell is mature.

These do not divide at maturity

Living tissues. Parenchyma, epidermis, phloem

Living cells/tissues in a perm state of G0 except

Meristematic tissue

Meristematic cells "pars" checkpoint @G1 to proceed

Shoot Apical Merstem. Root Apical Meristem. Various lateral meristems.

Cytoplasm ground nucleus @ center (G1) is called

Prephase panel

Phragmosome

Nucleus in the center DNA synthesized CV in 4 pieces are pre-prophase band visible

G2 phragmosome

After phragmosome forms DNA it begins, condensation = form chromosomes

As meristems divide mitotically forms 2 basic cell types

Initials and derivatives

Initials

Pluriponent or totipotent cells = meristematic tissue

Derivatives

Begin differentiation. Pluripotent or within tissue groups. Protoderm, vascular, ground

Protoderm

Becomes epidermis

Vascular Cambium

Becomes vascular tissues. Xylem/phloem

Ground meristem

Becomes ground tissues. Parenchyma, schlerenchyma, collenchyma

Diploid cells

Yield diploid cells

Many plants are called

Polyploid= diploid. Cells produced are genetically identical

Meiosis

Form haploid cells for life cycle

Sporocytes

Cells that will undergo meiosis

Mitosis

Specialized duplication of haploid cells

Gametophytes

(Haploid plants) may be male or female in some types

Prophase

Chromosomes fully formed nuclear membrane disappears nucleoli disappear. Mitotic spindle begins forming.

Mitotic Spindle

Specialized portion of cytoskeleton that moves chromosomes during cell division

Metaphase

Chromosomes move to equator of cell. (Same axis as preprophase band) mitotic spindle completed & mitotic spindle attaches to chromosomes

Anaphase

Mitotic spindle pulling chromosomes to chromatin

Telophase

Cell plate appears (beginning of cell wall) nuclear membrane reappears. DNA in chromatin state.

Shoot Apical Meristem (SAM)

Where mitosis occurs

Leaves

Primary function is phoyosynthesis. Using Co2 and h2o capture sunlight energy and transform it into chemical energy

Simple leaf anatomy

Petiole, blade, margin, vascular skeleton. Pulvinus if enlarged at base of petiole.

Leaflets

Compound leaves many blades/petiole

Sessile

Primarily in monocots. No petiole. Blade continuous with or attaches directly to stem

Gynosperms

Typically pine needles

Leaves are attached at

Nodes, petioles

Leaf patterns

Spiral, alternate, whorled, opposed

Spiral

Petiole, nodes in helical orientation

Alternate

Petiole/node alternate left right orientation

Whorled

3+ petioles @ nodes

Opposed

2 petioles 2 nodes opposite orientation

Monocots

Parallel veins

Dicots

Netlike. Reticulated veins. pennate. palmate.

Epidermis

Specialized parenchyma. mesophyll. Vascular bundles/veins. Epidermis

Function of epidermis

Protection. Gas permeation. Photosynthesis. Move water and food.

Xeriphyte epidermis

Complex. Multilayered. Typically simple. 1 cell layer.

Modifications of these tissues are common

Habitat- xerophyte or hydrophyte. Monocots/dicots (mesophyll & muscular bundles). C4 photosynthesis (kranz anatomy). Gynosperms.

Epidermal cells produce waxy covering called

Cuticle wax. Cutin.

Cutin in xerophytes is

Thick. Amount is determined by environment.

Epidermal cell modifications

Trichomes, hairs, bulliform cells

Trichomes

Accumulation of chemicals in many anti-herbivore. Insecticidal.

Hairs

Impede water loss. H2o condenses on hairs

Bulliform cells

Typical in grasses & palms. Fold leaf as water becomes scarce.

Guard cells form

Stomata. Gas exchange co2. Transpiration h2o form roots = leaves

Mesophyll

Specialized parenchyma that is photosynthetic. Highly variable

Mesophyll in dicots

Visible difference between palisade & spongy mesophyll

Mesophyll in monocots

Much more uniform appears all spongy

Mesophyll in Gynosperms

Is much more uniform.

Xylem

Move or transport h2o

Phloem

Move or transport food

Histology arrangement reflects what in monocots

Monkey faces. All looking at you. Parallel

Histology arrangement reflects what in dicots

Perpendicular crossing vascular bundles

Histology arrangement reflects what in Gynosperms

1 vein in the middle of needle

Transpiration

Happens at stomata. Movement of h2o from soil into roots through stems into leaves where it is vaporized.

Why do plants lose 95% of water

To mobilize nutrients from soil into plant

Most important nutrients in soil

K, Potassium, N, Nitrogen, P, Phosphorus.

Stomata

Spaces/openings created by guard cells

Closed stomata

Export solutes. H2o follows

Open stomata

Import solutes. H2o follows

Mechanism to open and close stomata

Osmosis/tonicity

Temporal environmental conditions effect

Transpiration. Water availability is seasonal. Abnormal conditions.

Which hormone causes abscission

Ethylene, Stops transpiration.

Secondary growth

Woody dicots. Generally the activation of lateral meristems to produce woods.

2nd yr the VC (vascular cambium) sundivides into

2 lateral meristems. 2nd year meristems. Vascular cambium & Cork cambium

Initials derivatives

Ground Meristem, procambium, protoderm

Inner edge of bark is where

2nd year phloem is proportion of CC and tissues made relative to vc and tissues made is very distorted in this diagram.

Cork cells produced by CC (outer, dead) produce..

Roots in dicots

Radicle is the largest and primary root. Tap root. Lateral roots branch off of tap root. Example: trees and carrots

Roots in monocots

Radical is short lived. No tap root. lateral meristems activated such that there is a mass of equal sized roots equal, fibrous root system. Ex. Grasses
