Embryogenesis
• 1st – embryo is a mass of undifferentiated cells
• 2nd – future epidermis (protoderm) is formed by periclinal divisions y p– Divisions parallel to the surface
• 3rd – vertical divisions within embryo proper result in distinction between – Ground meristem– Procambium
• Protoderm• Ground Meristem• Procambium
• A.K.A = Primary meristems– Or primary meristematic tissues
Two-celled stage: Transverse division of zygote
Three-celled proembryo

Four-celled stage:All result in formation of embryo proper
Protoderm initiation:Suspensor consists of only two cells
Notch forms (future site of apical meristem).Forms at base of the emerging cotyledon
Cotyledon curves, embryo is approaching maturity.Suspensor has disappeared.
Importance of the suspensor
• In Selaginella and pines the suspensor merely pushes developing embryos into nutritive tissues.
• Angiosperm suspensors• Angiosperm suspensors– Metabolically active & support early
development of embryo proper• Nutrients and growth regulators• Particularly gibberellins

Mature embryo & seed• Continuous flow of nutrients from parent plant
to tissues of ovule– Results in massive buildup of food reserves
within endosperm, perisperm, or cotyledons of the developing seed.
• Stalk or funiculus connecting the ovule to the ovary wall separates from the ovule– Ovule becomes a nutritionally closed system.
• Finally, seed becomes dessicated– Seed coat hardens
• Encases the embryo and food in “protective armor”
Phaseolus vulgaris – a eudicot; has a plumule above the cotyledons, consisting of an epicotyl, foliage leaves, and an apical meristem

Ricinus communis – eudicot, has only an apical meristem above the cotyledons. Stored food occurs in the endosperm.
Alium cepa– monocot; Shoot apical meristem of the embryo lies on one side and at the base of the cotyledon, much larger than the rest of the embryo. Stored food in the endosperm.
Zea mays– monocot; Well-developed scutellum (cotyledon) and radical. Stored food is in the endosperm.

Embryo axes
• At opposite ends of the embryo are the apical meristems of the shoot and root.
• Others can have embryonic shoots consisting of a stem-like axis called the epicotyl– One or more young leaves + apical meristem
occurs above the cotyledons– This type of shoot, the first bud, is called a
plumule.
• Stem-like axis below the cotyledons – Hypocotyl
• At the lower end of the hypocotyl there may be an embryonic root– A radical with distinct root characteristics

• All seeds have a seed coat• The thin, dry coat may have a papery
texture, but in many it is hard and highly impermeableimpermeable.
• Micropyle is often visible– Scar called the hilum is left on the seed coat
after the seed has separated from the funiculus
Requirements for germination
• Embryo growth is usually delayed while the seed matures.
• Resumption of growth of the embryo (germination) is dependent upon many(germination) is dependent upon many factors – Internal and external
9/25/2011

External Factors• Water
– Needed for imbibition• Oxygen
– Early stages of germination, glucose breakdown may be entirely anaerobic.
– Soon as seed coat is ruptured seed switches to aerobic pathway.
• Temperature– Minimum germination temp for most species is 0° to
5°C– Maximum is 45° to 48° C– Optimum is 25° to 30° C
Dormant seeds• External conditions could be favorable
– Some seeds will fail to germinate– Such seeds are said to be dormant
• Most causes are due to:– Immaturity of embryo– Inhibition due to climatic variables
• After-ripening occurs during cold winters when seedling would be unlikely to survive.
– Some must pass through digestive tracts• Scarification
– Desert species will germinate only when inhibitors are leached away by rainfall.
– Cracked mechanically– Need heat of fire to release the seeds
• Serotinous
Manzanita: Arctostaphylos viscida
Seeds remain viable in soil for years.Scarification is necessary in order to break dormancy

From embryo to adult
When germination occurs• First structure to emerge
– Root• Enables seedling to become anchored to soil and absorb
water.– Primary root (taproot) continues to develop branch
roots (lateral roots)roots (lateral roots)
• Primary root in monocots are short-lived and the root system of the adult plant develops from shoot-borne roots– Arise at nodes – Then produce lateral roots
Germination – Epigeous or Hypogeous
• Epigenous – Cotyledons are carried above ground level– Food stored in cotyledons
9/25/2011
11
Food stored in endosperm unlike garden bean
• Pisum sativum– Epicotyl elongates and froms the hook
• Protects shoot tip and young leaves • As epicotyl straightens out, the plumule is raisedAs epicotyl straightens out, the plumule is raised
above the soil surface.– Hypogeous
• Cotyledons remain underground during early germination.
9/25/2011
12
• Monocot seeds– Stored food found in endosperm
• Allium cepaTh l ti f th i l t b l t l d– The elongation of the single tubular cotyledon results in the formation of a hooked cotyledon.
– Cotyledon functions as a photosynthetic leaf– Plumule emerges from sheath-like base,
elongates, and forms foliage leaves.
Zea mays
• Has a highly differentiated embryo
9/25/2011
13
• Coleorhiza (encloses the radical) – First structure to grow through the pericarp.– Then followed by the radicle which elongates
rapidly and penetrates the coleorhizarapidly and penetrates the coleorhiza.– Once primary root emerges the coleoptile
(surrounds pumule) is pushed upward by elongation.
Cells & Tissues of Plant Body

Apical meristems & derivatives
• Apical meristems are found at all root and shoot tips.
• Initials are cells that perpetuate meristemsmeristems.– Divide in way that one sister cell remains
initial– Other becomes new body cell or derivative
• Primary growth– Extension of plant body (formation of primary
tissues)• Primary plant body• Primary plant body
– Part of plant composed of these tissues• Unlimited & prolonged growth described
as indeterminate
9/25/2011
15
• Differentiation– Cells of identical genetic constitutions become
different from one another.
Three tissue systems1: Ground or Fundamental tissue system
– 3 types: Parenchyma, Collenchyma, & Sclerenchyma
• Parenchyma is most common
2 V l ti t2: Vascular tissue system– Xylem & Phloem
3: Dermal tissue system– Epidermis (outer protective covering)– Periderm (in plant parts that undergo secondary
increase in thickness)
9/25/2011
16
• Within plant body tissues are distributed in characteristic patterns depending on plant part or plant taxon or both.
• Principle differences in patterns• Principle differences in patterns– Distribution of vascular & ground tissues
9/25/2011
17
• Tissues composed of only one type of cell– Simple tissues
• Those composed of two or more types of cells are calledcells are called – Complex tissues
Ground tissues
• Parenchyma tissue– Cortex, pith of stems and roots, leaf
mesophyll, and in the flesh of fruits– Capable of cell divisionCapable of cell division
• Important role in regeneration and wound healing– Involved in photosynthesis, storage, and
secretion• Also small role in water & food movement
9/25/2011
18
Collenchyma
Parenchyma
• Collenchyma tissue– Occurs in discrete strands or as continuous
cylinders beneath the epidermis in stems and petioles (leaf stalks)p ( )
• Celery ‘strings’– Living at maturity
• Continue to develop thick, flexible walls– Well-adapted for the support of young, growing organs
Petiole of
Rheum rhabarbarum

• Sclerenchyma tissue– Characterized by thick often lignified
secondary walls.– Important strengthening and supportingImportant strengthening and supporting
elements in plant parts that have ceased elongating.
• Two types– Sclereids & Fibers
• Fibers– Generally long, slender cells that occur in
strands• Hemp fibersHemp fibers
• Sclereids– Variable in shape, but often branched

Vascular Tissues
• Xylem– Principle water conducting tissue– Tracheary elements
• Tracheids & Vessel elements
• Vessel elements – Contain perforations
• Perforation plate
• Tracheids– Lacks perforations

Dermal tissues
• Epidermis – Constitutes the dermal tissue system of
leaves, floral parts, fruits, and seeds– May contain guard cells or trichomesMay contain guard cells or trichomes– Typically lack chloroplasts
• Guard cells contain chloroplasts– Regulate small pores “Stomata”
9/25/2011

• During Embryogenesis, the body plan of the plant consisting of an apical-based pattern and a radial pattern is established.
• Mature embryo consists of a hypocotyl-t i d t t l droot axis and one or two cotyledons.
• Dormant seed will not germinate, even when external conditions are favorable.
• Following emergence of the root and shoot, the seedling becomes established.
• Primary growth results from the activity of apical meristems.
• Development involves three overlapping processes:– Growth– Morphogenesis– Differentiation
• Vascular plants are composed of three tissue systems:– Dermal– Vascular– Ground
