CONCEPT 29.4: FERNS AND
OTHER SEEDLESS VASCULAR
PLANTS FORMED THE FIRST
FORESTS!
Benjamin H.
Michelle K.
SEEDLESS VASCULAR PLANTS
 Carboniferous period: vascular plants diversified
 Fragile gametophytes

 Sperm must swim

 Most common in damp environments
ORIGINS AND TRAITS OF VASCULAR PLANTS
 420 million yra
 Branched sporophytes
       Not dependent on gametophytes
   Complex bodies with multiple sporangia
LIFE CYCLE WITH DOMINANT SPOROPHYTES
   Sporophyte: larger + more complex




       Sporophyte
TRANSPORT IN XYLEM AND PHLOEM
 Vascular tissue
 Xylem: conducts water + minerals
     Tracheids: tube-shape cellsd (dead cells)
     Lignin: polymer, strengthens cell walls

 Phloem: distributes organic products
 Transport materials

  above ground
 w/ lignin plant =

  stronger
EVOLUTION OF ROOTS
 Roots: organs, anchor
  plants, absorb water and
  nutrients from soil
 Early roots resemble
  stem tissue
 Evolve from lower,
  underground stems
 Convergent evolution?
EVOLUTION OF LEAVES
 Leaves: organs, increase surface area for
  photosynthesis
 Microphylls: small, one vein

 Megaphylls: leaves w/ highly branched vascular
  system, more photosynthesis
SPOROPHYLLS
 Sporophylls: modified leaves w/ sporangia
 Sori: clusters of sporangia

 Strobili: cones, groups of sporophylls
SPORE VARIATIONS
   Homosporous:

    1 sporangium  1 spore  bisexual gametophyte
     eggs and sperm

   Heterosporous:

    Megasporangium  megaspore  female
    gametophyte  eggs

    Microsporangium  microscope  male
    gametophyte  sperm
LYCOPHYTES
 Use other plants as substrates
 tiny gametophytes

 Sporophytes
     Upright stems, many small leaves
     In mosses, clustered in strobili (club-shape cones)

   Club mosses, spike mosses, quillworts
PTEROPHYTA
   Whisk ferns
     Branching stems
     No roots or leaves


   Horsetails
     Bushy stems
     Homosporous
     Stems w/ joints (stem = main photosynthesis)


   Ferns
       Megaphylls
       Horizontal stems w/ large leaves (fronds)
       Homosporous
SIGNIFICANCE OF SEEDLESS VASCULAR
                  PLANTS
 During Carboniferous period grew tall
 Formed forests

 Accelerate photosynthesis

 Removed CO2 from atmosphere

  peat, became coal
REVIEW!
 What’s the phenolic polymer that strengthens cell
  walls?
 What do megasporangium produce?

 What do microsporangium produce?

 What vascular tissue transports water and
  minerals?
 What vascular tissue transports organic products?

 What is the significance of these vascular plants?
