The document discusses the phylum Cnidaria, including corals. It notes that corals are colonies of tiny polyps that can reproduce both asexually through budding and sexually by releasing gametes. Corals secrete calcium carbonate skeletons and have complex life cycles involving larval and polyp stages. They are found in tropical oceans where they form important reef ecosystems.
The Global Strategy for Plant Conservation is a catalyst for working together at all levels - local, national, regional and global - to understand, conserve and use sustainably the world's immense wealth of plant diversity whilst promoting awareness and building the necessary capacities for its implementation
Ferns play several important ecological roles. They provide shelter and food for small animals, help stabilize disturbed soil, and prevent nutrient leaching. Some ferns indicate the presence of certain metals in soil. Ferns also create diverse microhabitats that support a range of organisms by providing moisture, shade, and surfaces for seed germination. Invasive fern species can disrupt local ecosystems.
Fossils are preserved remains or traces of ancient plants and animals. A fossil can be an original skeleton, a mold or cast of the organism, or material that has replaced the original. Conditions that promote fossilization include rapid burial, lack of oxygen, and hard body parts. There are two main types of fossils - body fossils, which are actual remains, and trace fossils, which are evidence of ancient life like tracks or burrows. Fossils form through several processes including permineralization, replacement, or carbonization.
The document summarizes amniotes and their evolution. It discusses:
1) Amniotes are tetrapods with an amniotic egg, including mammals, reptiles, and birds. The amniotic egg allowed reproduction on land.
2) Modern amniotes are classified as synapsids (mammals), anapsids (turtles), or diapsids (reptiles and birds). Diapsids split into lepidosaurs and archosaurs.
3) Reptiles evolved from amphibians and gained adaptations like scaly skin, internal fertilization, and efficient lungs and kidneys for land survival.
1. The document describes the life cycle and morphology of the moss Funaria. It has a haplontic and diplontic life cycle with alternation of generations exhibiting heteromorphy.
2. The gametophyte generation is the dominant phase and reproduces sexually or asexually. Sexual reproduction involves antheridia and archegonia that produce gametes for fertilization.
3. Fertilization leads to formation of a sporophyte which grows from the archegonium. The sporophyte bears spores in capsules and releases them to complete the life cycle.
This document compares the leaf anatomy of dicots and monocots. Dicot leaves have a dorsiventral orientation with stomata on the upper epidermis. Their mesophyll is differentiated into palisade and spongy parenchyma, and their vascular bundles are surrounded by bundle sheath cells made of collenchyma. Monocot leaves have an isobilateral orientation with stomata on both epidermis. Their mesophyll is not differentiated and contains bulliform cells that control leaf curling. Their vascular bundles are surrounded by sclerenchyma bundle sheath cells.

PSILOTUM : structure, morphology, anatomy, reproduction , life cycle etc.Cherry
Psilotum is a genus of whisk ferns represented by two species, P. nudum and P. flaccidum. P. nudum is found throughout the tropics and subtropics, including regions like Florida, Hawaii, India, and New Zealand. It grows as an erect shrub up to 25cm tall. P. flaccidum is found in Mexico, Jamaica, and some Pacific islands and differs in having a flattened, pendulous stem that can grow up to 90cm long. Both species reproduce vegetatively through gemmae and sexually through homosporous synangia that contain spores.
Fossils provide important information about past plant and animal life on Earth. They form through a process called fossilization when remains become buried in sediment and over time the sediment hardens into rock, preserving the remains. There are many types of fossils including body fossils, trace fossils, molds/casts, and carbonized or permineralized fossils. The geological time scale maps Earth's history in distinct periods based on fossils and rock layers. Key periods include the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras. Fossils are important for understanding evolution and how life has changed over geological time.
This document discusses different types of fossils and fossilization processes. It defines fossils as any traces of past life, including body fossils (actual remains), trace fossils (tracks, burrows), and chemical fossils (organic compounds). Body fossils are more likely to be preserved if the organism had hard parts like shells. For fossilization to occur, remains must be quickly buried to prevent decomposition. After burial, chemical and physical processes can preserve or alter the fossils over time. Some examples of exceptional fossil preservation include frozen mammoths and soft-tissue fossils from Lagerstatten. Trace fossils provide information about animal behavior and anatomy. The document describes various fossilization processes in detail like replacement, permineralization, molds, casts, and
Algae use flagella for both food intake and locomotion. Flagella contain an axoneme structure made of microtubule triplets that provide movement. Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is required to move proteins along flagella for their assembly and maintenance at the basal body.
Oedogonium is a genus of filamentous green algae that reproduces both sexually and asexually. It has distinctive rings formed at cell divisions. Sexual reproduction involves the production of sperm by antheridia and eggs by oogonia, which can fuse to form zygotes. Zygotes and fragments of the algae can then develop into new filaments through asexual reproduction. Oedogonium is classified in the kingdom Protista, division Chlorophyta, class Chlorophyceae, and order Oedogonianles.
Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, were the first organisms to perform oxygenic photosynthesis and produce oxygen as a byproduct, converting the early atmosphere to an oxidizing one. They are also able to fix atmospheric nitrogen. Cyanobacteria serve important ecological functions and have many applications. Specifically, certain species can be used as pollution indicators, in biotechnology research, as a source of nutrients, and to generate renewable fuels.
History of fossils; process of FossilizationKashif Manzoor
This document discusses the history of fossils and the process of fossilization. It explains that fossils form when organisms are buried rapidly in sediment after death. The sediment protects the remains from decay and erosion. Over time, minerals replace the original material. Fossils are exposed after erosion removes overlying rock layers. Only a small fraction of organisms fossilize, requiring hard parts, rapid burial, and a suitable preservation environment like sediment, tar, ice, or amber. Marine environments provide many opportunities for fossilization compared to land.
This document provides information about the cyanobacteria Oscillatoria. It discusses its systematic position as a genus in the order Oscillatoriales, describes its occurrence in moist places with decaying organic matter, and details its plant body structure as unbranched trichomes of cylindrical cells contained in a thin sheath. Reproduction is solely vegetative, occurring through the formation of harmogonia fragments or accidental trichome breakage. Oscillatoria has economic importance for soil reclamation, pollution indication, oxygen production, symbiotic associations, protein content, and nitrogen fixation.
This document discusses different types of fossils and fossilization. It describes fossils as remains or traces of once-living organisms found in rock. There are several modes of fossil preservation discussed, including entire body preservation, entire skeleton preservation, petrification and replacement, molds and casts, imprints, traces and trails, and burrows. The importance of fossils is also mentioned, such as for studying evolution, paleoecology, and paleogeography of ancient life.
The document discusses the growth habits and characteristics of cashew plants. It provides details in 3 paragraphs:
1) Cashew plants are evergreen perennial trees that grow 12-15 feet tall. They have leathery oblong or ovate leaves arranged alternately. The bark secretes a resin for defense.
2) Cashew plants flower from dry weather. The flowers are polygamous, bearing male, female, and bisexual flowers. Pollination relies on insects.
3) The fruit is an edible apple enclosing the cashew nut. Both reach maturity in 60-90 days and fall from the tree.
Angiosperms are flowering plants that reproduce sexually through flowers. They dominate terrestrial ecosystems, making up around 90% of all plant species. Key characteristics include producing flowers, fruits, and seeds. Angiosperms were more reproductively successful than earlier plants due to animal pollination and seed dispersal via fruits. They have a double fertilization process and can be annual, biennial, or perennial. Angiosperms occupy nearly all habitats on Earth and are economically important as food, materials, medicines, and ornamentals.

This document provides an introduction to weed science and weed identification. It defines weeds and explains their classification based on morphology and life cycle. Key aspects that make weeds successful such as seed characteristics, vegetative reproduction, and dispersal methods are described. The importance of correctly identifying the weed species and understanding its life cycle when determining effective management strategies is emphasized.
The document discusses the reproductive parts of plants and pollination. It describes the structure of dicot and monocot flowers, including the male and female parts. It explains different types of pollination like wind, insect, bird and discusses compatible pollen. The fertilization process is outlined as pollen growing a tube to the ovary where sperm nuclei fuse with ovules to produce seeds.
Non-flowering plants reproduce using spores rather than flowers and seeds. They are divided into three main groups: mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Mosses belong to the division Bryophyta and have gametophyte and sporophyte phases in their life cycle. They reproduce asexually through fragmentation and gemmae, and sexually through the fertilization of eggs by sperm. Ferns belong to the division Pterophyta and have vascular tissues that allow them to grow larger than mosses. They also have alternation between gametophyte and sporophyte generations. Gymnosperms like conifers reproduce using naked seeds on cone scales rather than enclosed in fruits. They have a dominant
Male and female gametes from plants unite during sexual reproduction to form a zygote, which develops into a new plant body. Sexually reproduced offspring have two parents and thus exhibit more variation than asexually reproduced offspring that have a single parent. Pollination involves the transfer of pollen grains containing male gametes from the anther to the stigma. It can occur through biotic vectors like insects or abiotically via wind or water. Self-pollination involves pollen transfer within a flower or between flowers on the same plant, while cross-pollination transfers pollen between plants. Asexual reproduction requires only one parent and can occur via vegetative propagation using plant structures like stems, leaves, and roots
This document summarizes plant reproduction, including both asexual and sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction methods discussed include vegetative propagation through roots, stems, runners, and leaves. Artificial methods like cuttings, grafting, and budding are also covered. Sexual reproduction involves flowers and pollination, with descriptions of floral parts and structures. Both self-pollination and cross-pollination are discussed. Various pollination mechanisms like wind, water, insect, bird and other animal pollination are described along with associated floral adaptations. Microsporogenesis and development of male and female gametophytes are summarized.
Vegetative reproduction is a form of asexual reproduction in plants where new individuals are formed from vegetative organs like roots, stems, and leaves. There are two types of vegetative reproduction - natural, which occurs through modified roots, stems, and leaves; and artificial, where humans interfere to propagate plants through methods like layering, grafting, and tissue culture. Vegetative reproduction allows for the large scale, rapid production of identical new plants that inherit the parent's characteristics.
1. Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma and can occur through self-pollination or cross-pollination.
2. Self-pollination includes autogamy, where pollen falls on the same flower's stigma, and geitonogamy, where pollen falls on another flower of the same plant. Cross-pollination involves pollen transfer between flowers of different plants.
3. For fertilization to occur, the pollen grain must germinate and send a pollen tube to the ovule, where double fertilization takes place with one sperm fusing with the egg and one with the polar nuclei. This leads to
This document discusses the turmeric plant and one of its major pests, the turmeric shoot borer (Conogethes punctiferalis). It provides details on the identification, life cycle, damage caused, and management of the shoot borer pest. It notes that the shoot borer larvae bore into and feed on the turmeric shoots and rhizomes, reducing yields. For management, the document recommends using resistant varieties, natural enemies, proper sanitation, and chemical pesticide sprays timed to control populations.
1. Flowers are the reproductive organs of plants that contain male and female parts.
2. Leaves take in carbon dioxide and water, and through photosynthesis, produce oxygen and sugars to fuel plant growth. Specialized structures called stomata allow for gas exchange.
3. Plants can reproduce both sexually, through pollination and fertilization to produce seeds, and asexually through methods like bulbs, rhizomes, cuttings, and tissue culture.
Maize, also known as corn, is a cereal grain that is the third most important crop worldwide after rice and wheat. It originated in Mexico and Central America and is a member of the grass family. Maize has a life cycle of 120 to 150 days and produces ears containing kernels as its fruit. It is an important food crop for humans and animals as well as a raw material for many industrial products. Plant breeders use techniques like selfing and crossing to produce genetically pure maize seed.
This document summarizes the two major groups of plants - flowering plants and nonflowering plants. It focuses on nonflowering plants, describing the two main groups of spore-bearing plants and cone-bearing plants. Spore-bearing plants reproduce asexually through spores contained in sporangium and include ferns, mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Cone-bearing plants, also called conifers, reproduce through male and female cones and include pine trees, redwoods, spruces, and firs.
Ferns reproduce through an alternation of generations, where they have both a sporophyte and gametophyte stage. The sporophyte produces spores that grow into the gametophyte plant, which produces eggs and sperm. When an egg is fertilized by sperm, it grows into a new sporophyte plant, completing the life cycle. Ferns reproduce using these spores rather than flowers, fruits, or seeds. They have sori clusters on their leaves undersides that contain sporangia holding the reproductive spores.
banana-classification and floral biology.pptxHemashreeY
Bananas are a perennial herb with an underground rhizome and aerial pseudostem from which leaves and fruit emerge. Flowers are arranged on a branched spadix with male, female, and bisexual flowers present. Pollination requires transfer of pollen between inflorescences by bats and birds. Most edible bananas are seedless and fruit develops parthenocarpically without fertilization. There are several subgroups of cultivated bananas classified by genome.

14. Cutting
• Portion of root ,stem ,and leaf [cuttings].
• These cuttings are rooted in the soil which develop
into new plant .
• Soft wood cuttings
• Hard wood cuttings
• Examples:-
Sugarcane , roses, grapes, tapioca, coleus,
Bougainvillea.
15. Layering
• Roots are indused on branches still attached to
the parent plant.
• Examples :- fruit trees , ornamental plants
28. Tissue culture
[micropropagation]
Plant tissue culture is a collection of techniques
used to maintain or grow plant cells, tissues or
organs under sterile conditions on a nutrient
culture medium of known composition. Plant
tissue culture is widely used to produce clones
of a plant in a method known as
micropropagation.
29. Totipotency
• Cellular totipotency is defined as the
ability of somatic cells of a plant to
produce a new complete plant. The
first evidence of cellular totipotency
was given by Steward in 'carrot
culture' experiment.
30. Pluripotency
• Pluripotent is also described as
something that has no fixed
developmental potential, as in being
able to differentiate into different
cell types in the case of pluripotent
stem cells.
41. Steps in tissue culture
1]Selection of explant
2]Sterlisation
3]Inoculation
4]Callus formation
5]Sub-Culturing
6]Transplantation of the Regenerated Plant
42.

44.
45. • Importance of vegetative propagation
• Rapid ,easier ,less expensive
• Specially for –
• 1]poor seed viability
• 2] prolonged seed dormancy
• 3]plants those who have lost their capacity to
produce seeds through sexual reproduction.
[banana ,seedless grapes , oranges, rose etc.]
• 4]highly heterozygous plants.
• Plants raised through vegetative reproduction
are exact genetic copies of parent.
46. • For economically important plants
• For raising disease free plant
• Yield of fruits can be increased by grafting
• Limitations of vegetative propagation
• Do not have tap roots .
• Not helpful in developing new varieties
47. Important technical terms in the description of
flower
• Complete flower Incomplete flower
• Perfect/bisexual Imperfect /unisexual
• Staminate Pistillate
• Monoecious [both flowers on same plant]
• birch, hazelnut, oak, pine, spruce, corn.
• Dioecious [when on different plants]
• asparagus, dates, mulberry, ginkgo, currant
bushes, juniper bushes ,spinach.
• Polygamous [when both bisexual and unisexual
flowers are present on same plant.]
77. Dehiscence of anther
• Extrose :- an anther dehiscing towards the
periphery of the flower
• Ex. Argemone
• Introse :- an anther dehiscing towards the
centre of the flower
• Ex. Dianthus
87. • Life Span :-
• Life span may be defined as a period from
birth to natural death of an organism .
• Natural death is a last event of ageing .
Life span of
• May fly – 24 hrs to 1 day banyan tree – 200 to 300 yrs
• Sequoia – 3000 to 4000 yrs Butter fly – 1 -2 weeks
• Fruit fly – 30 days Crow – 15 yrs
• Dog – 14 to 20 yrs Horse – 60 yrs
• Crocodile – 60 yrs Elephant – 60 to 90 yrs
• Parrot – 140 yrs Tortoise – 100 to 250 yrs
• Cow – 20 to 25 yrs Rice plant – 3 to 4 months
• Rose bush – 5 to 7 yrs Banana tree – 25 yrs.
• Banyan tree – 200 yrs. Sequoia – 3000 to 4000 yrs
88. • Actually, single celled organisms are
considered to be biologically immortal. This is
because they don't die as they grow old. They
usually undergo Mitosis (asexual
reproduction) to reproduce, in which the
organism itself gets divided into two (cell
division). ... So there is no way we could say
that the organism has died.
89.
90. • (a) Juvenile phase: It is the period of growth
in an individual organism after its birth and
before it reaches reproductive maturity.
• (b) Reproductive phase: It is the period when
an individual organism reproduces sexually.
• (c) Senescent phase: It is the period when an
organism grows old and loses the ability to
reproduce.
97. Rafflesia arnoldii This rare flower is found in the rainforests of
Indonesia. It can grow to be 3 feet across and
weigh up to 15 pounds! It is a parasitic plant, with
no visible leaves, roots, or stem.
98. Amorphophallus titanum
One of the world's tallest flowers bloomed at the Niagara Parks
Commission's Floral Showhouse . The Amorphophallus titanum, or
Titan Arum, is a massive bell-shaped flower, growing up to three
metres in height. Aside from its size, the flower is also known for
its unique smell.Jun
99.
100. Flower that blossom after 12 yrs
• Strobilanthes kunthianus. Kurinji or
Neelakurinji (Strobilanthes kunthianus) is a
shrub that is found in the shola forests of the
Western Ghats in South India. Nilgiri Hills,
which literally means the blue mountains, got
their name from the purplish blue flowers of
Neelakurinji that blossoms only once in 12
years.
129. Steps in development of
microsporangia
• 1. Development of anther (microsporangium)
• 2. Formation of microspore (pollen grain) –
microsporogenesis
• 3. Pollination
• 4. Development in microspore to form mature
male gametophyte .
134. • Zostera
• The plant known to have the longest pollen
grain till now is Zostera, with pollen grains up
to 2500 µm long.
• Pollen grains of pines, firs, and spruces are
winged.
135. • The smallest pollen grain, that of the forget-
me-not (Myosotis spp.), is around 6 µm
(0.006 mm) in diameter.
• In most water pollinated plants, the pollen
grains are long and ribbon like and are
protected from wetting by mucilaginous
covering. Ex. Sea grass.
147. Self pollination
Autogamy Geitonogamy
[pollen grains are [pollen grains of one
transferred to the flower transferred
Stigma of same flower] to the stigma of
different flower of
same plant]
148.
149. Contrivances or adaptations for self -
pollination
• Homogamy :- anthers and stigma of the
flower mature at the same time .
• Cleistogamy :- these flowers are bound to be
pollinated by pollens of the same flower
150. Contrivances or adaptations for cross
pollination
1] self sterility :-[self incompatibility]
When pollen of the same flower falls on the
stigma of the same flower fails to grow and
prevents self pollination.
2]Dichogamy :-maturation of pollen and stigma
at different time .
protogyny-ex.-Magnolia , aristolochia ,
scrophularia
Protoandry –ex.-salvia ,gossipium,helianthus
151. 3] Herkogamy
Structure of anther and style are in such manner
that it prevents self pollination
4]Heterostyly
Long styled flower Primula vulgaris
Short styled flower
152.
153.
154. Extraordinary mode of pollination in fig
[Ficus carica]COEVOLUTION
[Blastophaga psenes]
169. Development of zygote into an
embryo
[till formation of seed ]
• Embryogeny :- similar to both dicot and
monocot .
• Different stages on the basis of shape and
number of cells
• Then formation of epicotyl ,plumule and
cotyledons.
• Formation of testa.
174. Seed
• It is a mature fertilized ovule that possess an
embryo ,stored food material in the
cotyledons or endosperm and a protective
seed coat .
• Integuments --develop into seed coats.
• Egg cell --grows into an embryo.
• Triploid nucleus-- gives rise to endosperm.
177. Advantages of seed
• Adaptive strategies for dispersal
• Sufficient food reserves
• Protection
• New genetic combination
• Variation
178. • Seed dormancy
• Viability
• Oldest viable seed :-lupine [Lupinus arcticus ]
[excavated from Arctic Tundra –seed germinated
and flowered after 10000 years of dormancy]
Date palm:-[Phoenix dactylifera]
2000 yrs old viable seed.
Seed dormancy can be broken by various
means
182. Wall of the fruit
• Pericarp –
– Epicarp--- outer skin
– Mesocarp ---- edible fleshy region
– Endocarp ------ innermost hard region that
encloses seed
Epicarp/
183. True fruit
Development from ripened ovary [exclusively from ovary]
Seed develops----ovary wall matures ----floral
parts wither away.
Ex.mango ,coconut,cucumber,tomato,pea.
184.
185. False fruit
• Pulpy ,edible portion is not the
wall of an ovary ,but the floral
parts like receptacle.
• Ex. –apple & strawberry
200. Apomixis [agamospermy]
• Seeds are formed without fusion of
gmts.
• Diploid cells of ovule-forms nucellus
/or megaspore develops into an
embryo.
• Apomict – such plant
201. Parthenogenesis
• Special type of apomixis –
• Seeds develop from unfertilised
female gmt.
• Seeds could be haploid or diploid.
202. Parthenocarpy
• Development of fruit from the ovary without
fertilisation
• Unfertilised ovary—no ovules– no seeds in
fruit – seedless fruit
• Gustafon – first to discover parthenocarpy
• Naturally occur in– pineapple ,grapes ,apple
,pear,banana.
203. Sporophytic budding and polyembryony
• 1] development of embryo from sporophytic
part of the plant –like cells of nucellus or
integuments.
2]polyembryony –many embryos in the same
seed –reported by Leewenhoek
204. Reasons for polyembryony
• --more than one egg cell
• --more than one embryo sac in ovule.
• ---all the egg cells get fertilised
• ---number of embryos develop simultaneously
from diff. Parts of ovule like –synergids
,antipodal cells
• Number of embryos develop from the tissue
of nucellus and integuments.
• Ex. conifers, onion, groundnut, mango lemon,
orange
