Embryo Maternal tissue Highlights of Plant Evolution – The fossil record chronicles four major periods of plant evolution. Ancestral green algae Charophytes (a group of green algae) Origin of first terrestrial adaptations (about 475 mya) Bryophytes Origin of vascular tissue (about 425 mya) Ferns and Other seedless Vascular plants Origin of seeds (about 360 mya) Gymnosperms Origin of flowers (about 140 mya) Angiosperms 600 500 400 300 Millions of years ago 200 100 0 Highlights of Plant Evolution (1) About 475 million years ago plants originated from an algal ancestor giving rise to bryophytes, nonvascular plants, including mosses, liverworts, and hornworts that are nonvascular plants without: – Lignified walls – True roots – True leaves Bryophytes Ferns Gymnosperms Angiosperms Highlights of Plant Evolution – (2) About 425 million years ago ferns evolved • With vascular tissue hardened with lignin • But without seeds Bryophytes Ferns Gymnosperms Angiosperms Highlights of Plant Evolution – (3) About 360 million years ago gymnosperms evolved with seeds that consisted of an embryo packaged along with a store of food within a protective covering but not enclosed in any specialized chambers. Bryophytes Ferns Gymnosperms Angiosperms Highlights of Plant Evolution – (4) About 140 million years ago angiosperms evolved with complex reproductive structures called flowers that bear seeds within protective chambers called ovaries. Bryophytes Ferns Gymnosperms Angiosperms Highlights of Plant Evolution – Angiosperms • Dominate the modern landscape • Are represented by about 250,000 species • Supply nearly all of our food and much of our fiber for Petal textiles Stamen Anther Filament Ovule Stigma Style Ovary Sepal Carpel Fungi • Recycle vital chemical elements back to the environment in forms other organisms can assimilate • Form mycorrhizae, fungus-root associations that help plants absorb from the soil – Minerals – Water Bacteria Archaea Protists Eukarya Plants Fungi Animals Fungi Bud Colorized SEM • Come in many shapes and sizes • Represent more than 100,000 species Budding yeast Orange fungi Roundworm Body of fungus Colorized SEM Mold Colorized SEM A “fairy ring” Predatory fungus Fungal Structure –The bodies of most fungi are constructed of threadlike filaments called hyphae. –Hyphae are minute threads of cytoplasm surrounded by a: •Plasma membrane •Cell wall mainly composed of chitin Reproductive structure Hyphae Spore-producing structures Mycelium
