This document provides an overview of the plant kingdom, focusing on the phylum Pteropsida. It describes Pteropsida as a large group of vascular plants characterized by parenchymatous leaf gaps in the stele and leaves thought to have originated as branched stem systems. The document then summarizes key subgroups within Pteropsida including filicinae (ferns), gymnospermae, and angiospermae. For each subgroup, it outlines defining characteristics, diversity, ecology, evolution, uses, and economic importance.
Pteridophytes are vascular plants and have leaves (known as fronds), roots and sometimes true stems, and tree ferns have full trunks. Examples include ferns, horsetails and club-mosses. Fronds in the largest species of ferns can reach some six metres in length!
Many ferns from tropical rain forests are epiphytes, which means they only grow on other plant species; their water comes from the damp air or from rainfall running down branches and tree trunks. There are also some purely aquatic ferns such as water fern or water velvet (Salvinia molesta) and mosquito ferns (Azolla species).
Pteridophytes do not have seeds or flowers either, instead they also reproduce via spores.
There are around 13,000 species of Pteridophytes.

Gymnosperms are a diverse group that includes about 1,000 species, organized into four main orders: Coniferales (conifers), Cycadales (cycads), Ginkgoales (ginkgoes), and Gnetales (a small group including Ephedra and others).
Some gymnosperm species are endangered or threatened due to habitat loss and other factors. Conservation efforts are in place to protect and preserve these ancient plants.
Bryophytes are mostly terrestrial plants. They are found in moist shady places. But they need water for fertilization and completion of their life cycle. Hence they are called ‘amphibious plants’.
They include approximately 960 genera and about 25,000 species.
Life cycle of Bryophytes shows sporophytic and gametophytic stages..
Bryophytes have root-like structures called rhizoids. Rhizoids are unicellular in liverworts while multicellular in mosses.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Pteropsida
A large group of vascular plants
characterized by having parenchymatous leaf
gaps in the stele and by having leaves which
are thought to have originated in the distant
past as branched stem systems.
Some botanists regard the Pteropsida as
a natural group which they recognize as a
class, subdivision, or division. Others regard
it as an artificial assemblage of plants that
have undergone certain similar changes from
a rhyniophyte ancestry.
The various components of the
Pteropsida are here treated as three separate
divisions under the names Magnoliophyta,
4. Filicinae or fern (also called
monilophytes) is any one of a group of about
12,000 species of plants. Unlike mosses, they
have xylem and phloem; making them vascular
plants. They have stems, leaves, and roots
like other vascular plants. Ferns do not have
either seeds or flowers, they reproduce via
spores.
The largest group of ferns are the
leptosporangiate ferns, but ferns as defined
here include horsetails, whisk ferns,
marattioid ferns, and ophioglossoid ferns.
The term pteridophyte also refers to ferns,
and possibly other seedless vascular plants. A
pteridologist is a specialist in the study of
ferns and lycophytes.
5. Ecology
Fern species live in a wide variety of
habitats, from remote mountain
elevations, to dry desert rock faces, to
bodies of water or in open fields.
Many ferns depend on associations
with mycorrhizal fungi. Many ferns only
grow within specific pH ranges; for
instance, the climbing fern (Lygodium) will
only grow in moist, intensely acid soils,
while the bulblet bladder fern (Cystopteris
bulbifera), with an overlapping range, is
only found on limestone.
6. Evolution
Ferns first appear in the fossil record 360
million years ago in the Carboniferous but
many of the current families and species did
not appear until roughly 145 million years ago
in the late Cretaceous.
Economic uses
Ferns are not of major economic importance,
but some are grown or gathered for food, as
ornamental plants, or for remediating
contaminated soils. Some are significant
weeds. They also featured in mythology,
medicine, and art.
8. Gymnosperms are seed-bearing plants, whose
seeds do not form inside fruits but outside the ovum.
The term "gymnosperm" comes from the Greek
word gymnospermos, meaning "naked seeds", after the
unenclosed condition of their seeds (called ovules in
their unfertilized state).
Their naked condition stands in contrast to the
seeds or ovules of flowering plants (angiosperms) which
are enclosed during pollination. Gymnosperm seeds
develop either on the surface of scale- or leaf-like
appendages of cones.
The gymnosperms and angiosperms together
comprise the spermatophytes or seed plants. By far the
largest group of living gymnosperms are the :
•conifers (pines, cypresses, and relatives),
•cycads
•Gnetales (Gnetum, Ephedra and Welwitschia)
•Ginkgo (a single living species).
9. Diversity and Origin
There are between 700 and 900 extant or
currently living species of Gymnosperms.
It is widely accepted that the
gymnosperms originated in the late Carboniferous
Period. Early characteristics of seed plants were
evident in fossil progymnosperms of the late Devonian
period around 380 million years ago. It has been
suggested that during the mid-Mesozoic period,
pollination of some extinct groups of gymnosperms
were by extinct species of scorpionflies that had
specialized proboscis for feeding on pollination drops.
The scorpionflies likely engaged in pollination
mutualisms with gymnosperms, long before the similar
and independent coevolution of nectar-feeding insects
on angiosperms.
10. Uses
Gymnosperms have major
economic uses. Pine, fir, spruce
and cedar are all examples of
conifers which we use for lumber.
Some other common uses for them
are as soap, varnish, paint, food
and perfumes.
12. Angiosperm, from the Ancient Greek , angeíon
(receptacle, vessel) and ,sperma (seed), was coined in the
form Angiospermae by Paul Hermann in 1690, as the name
of that one of his primary divisions of the plant kingdom.
Also known as Flowering plants or Magnoliophyta,
are the most diverse group of land plants. Together with
gymnosperms, they are the only extant groups of seed-
producing plants, but they can be distinguished from the
gymnosperms by a series of synapomorphies. These
characteristics include flowers, endosperm within the
seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the
seeds.
The characteristic feature of angiosperms is the
flower. Flowers show remarkable variation in form and
elaboration, and provide the most trustworthy external
characteristics for establishing relationships among
angiosperm species. The function of the flower is to
ensure fertilization of the ovule and development of fruit
containing seeds.
13. Angiosperm derived characteristics
The flowers, which are the reproductive organs of
flowering plants.
Stamens, are much lighter than the corresponding organs
of gymnosperms and have contributed to the
diversification of angiosperms through time with
adaptations to specialized pollination syndromes, such as
particular pollinators.
The male gametophyte, in angiosperms is significantly
reduced in size compared to those of gymnosperm seed
plants.
The closed carpel of angiosperms, allows adaptations to
specialized pollination syndromes and controls.
The reduced female gametophyte, like the reduced male
gametophyte, allowing the flowering plants to fill even
more niches.
Endosperm, formation generally begins after fertilization
14. Origin and Diversity
The ancestors of flowering plants diverged from
gymnosperms around 245–202 million years ago, and the
first flowering plants known to exist are from 140 million
years ago. They diversified enormously during the Lower
Cretaceous and became widespread around 100 million
years ago, but replaced conifers as the dominant trees
only around 60-100 million years ago
The earliest known macrofossil confidently
identified as an angiosperm, Archaefructus
liaoningensis, is dated to about 125 million years BP; the
Cretaceous period.
The number of species of flowering plants is estimated
to be in the range of 250,000 to 400,000.
15. Classification
There are eight groups of living angiosperms:
Amborella — a single species of shrub from New Caledonia
Nymphaeales — about 80 species— water lilies and Hydatellaceae
Austrobaileyales — about 100 species of woody plants from various
parts of the world
Chloranthales — several dozen species of aromatic plants with
toothed leaves
Magnoliidae — about 9,000 species, characterized by trimerous
flowers, pollen with one pore, and usually branching-veined leaves —
for example magnolias, bay laurel, and black pepper
Monocotyledonae — about 70,000 species, characterized by trimerous
flowers, a single cotyledon, pollen with one pore, and usually parallel-
veined leaves — for example grasses, orchids, and palms
Ceratophyllum — about 6 species of aquatic plants, perhaps most
familiar as aquarium plants
Eudicotyledonae — about 175,000 species, characterized by 4- or 5-
merous flowers, pollen with three pores, and usually branching-veined
leaves — for example sunflowers, petunia, buttercup, apples and oaks
16. Economic uses
Flowering plants provide economic resources in
the form of wood, paper, fiber (cotton, flax, and
hemp, among others), medicines (digitalis, camphor),
decorative and landscaping plants, and many other
uses. The main area in which they are surpassed by
other plants is timber production.
Agriculture is almost entirely dependent on
angiosperms, either directly or indirectly through
livestock feed.
