This is a detailed presentation on Morphology, anatomy and reproduction of Marchantia spp. with high quality pics and eye capturing transitions and animations
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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Riccia thallus structure and reproduction
1. RICCIA
Prepared by:
Dr. E. Gayathiri
Department of Plant Biology and Plant Biotechnology
Guru Nanak College, Chennai
2. OVERVIEW
• HABITAT
• EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF THALLUS
• REPRODUCTION IN THALLUS
• ALTERNATION OF GENERATION
3. Classification (Systematic position)
• Kingdom: Plantae
• Subking.: Cryptogams
• Division : Bryophyta
• Class : Hepaticopsida
• Order : Marchantiales
• Family : Ricciaceae
4. Habitat
•
1. The genus Riccia comprises about 138 species.
2. 33 species have been recorded so far R. crystallina, R. kashyapii,
R. pandel are endemic in India.
3. Riccia mainly grows on damp soil and shady places and other similar
terrestrial habitats.
5. External Structure of Thallus
1. Due to dichotomous branching a circular patch of plants is formed which is
called rosette.
2. Plant body represents haploid, the gametophyte generation. R. fluitans, the
aquatic species, is partially submerged or it floats in water.
6. Riccia thallus-Rhizoid
• Rhizoids are unicellular and unbranched.
• Two types of rhizoids, - smooth walled and tuberculated.
• Rhizoids - fixation and absorption.
• The scales in young plants are arranged in one transverse row near the
apex.
• When the thallus matures, they form two rows near the margin of the
thallus.

7. Internal structure of thallus
A vertical section of thallus has
depression in the centre - dorsal groove.
Internal differentiation.
The thallus is formed of two distinct
regions, viz.
a. the lower or ventral storage region
and
b. an upper or dorsal photosynthetic
or assimilatory region
Source: http://premabotany.blogspot.com/2018/12/riccia-classification-structure-of.html
8. Storage region
In the ventral surface - closely packed
parenchymatous tissue are present
The chloroplasts are absent in this region.
The region acts as storage tissue, storing
water and reserved food material (starch).
From the lower epidermal cells, develop
rhizoids and amphigastria.
The rhizoids help in absorption while the
amphigastria give protection.

9. Photosynthetic region
Present on the dorsal surface
It consists of chlorenchymatous cells with one cell
thickness.
These vertical rows of cells are called
photosynthetic filaments.
Between the chlorenchymatous rows - air
chambers, air-canals are air-clefts.
The air chamber lacks photosynthetic filaments.
Around the air cleft six to eight vertical rows of
chlorenchymatous cells, terminal bigger colorless
cell Source: http://premabotany.blogspot.com/2018/12/riccia-classification-structure-of.html
10. Photosynthetic region
Terminal cells together form an interrupted
upper epidermis.
The air-cleft communicate with the outer
environment through the gaps called air-pores.
In the case of the aquatic species, the epidermis
is continuous and air-pores are absent.
The thallus shows large air-cavities which store
air and give buoyancy to the plant.
The epidermal cells also show presence of
chloroplasts.
12. Reproduction
A. Vegetative
1. Fragmentation –Older cell
on decay the older
dichotomy separate -
favourable conditions, - new
thallus.
2. Adventitious branches –
arise from the mid-ventral
surface of the thallus -
detached - new plants.
Source: http://Slideplayer
13. Reproduction
A. Vegetative
1. Tubers - The tips of branches store food
material and become swollen - tubers. In
favourable - new plants.
2. Persistent apices – prolonged dry
conditions, the plant dies except the apical
part. This apical part however grows deep
into soil and becomes thick. It resumes
active growth in next season and develops
into a new thallus.

14. Reproduction–
B. Sexual:Oogamous type.
The sex organs are well developed, multicellular and
separate.
The male reproductive organ - Antheridium (gametes,
antherozoid).
The female reproductive- Archegonium (gamete ,ovum)
Both the sex organs - on the same plant- monoecious.
on different plants- dioecious or unisexual.
The sex organs are in the dorsal surface ,deeply sunk in
the mid-furrow of the thallus. Source: http://Madanacademy, Self study.co
15. Antheridium :
• multicellular and elongated structure enclosed in an
antheridial cavity
consists of a stalk and a body
body is ovoid or pear-shaped
outermost sterile layer called the jacket layer or the
antheridial wall - protective
encloses a mass of fertile, cubical cells called androcyte
mother cells
Each mother cell divides to form two androcytes or
spermatids
numerous antherozoids or spermatozoids are formed in
an antheridium.
16. Antherozoid :
spermatozoid is a minute,
slender, curved and flagellate
structure.
Flagella are two in number
The body possesses elongated
blepharoplast, a nucleus and a
little cytoplasm.
The unused cytoplasm remains
attached to the posterior end
forming a vesicle.
17. Archegonium
Present in a cavity
(Archegonial cavity).
Archegonium is flask
shaped.
Archegonium formed of
three parts - stalk,
ventre and neck
Stalk is small and few
celled
Archegonium
18. Archegonium
Venter is broad & venter wall is one cell in
thickness
Venter encloses a cavity - venter cavity
two unequal cells
smaller - ventral canal cell
larger, posterior cell - ovum or the egg cell
Neck consists of six vertical rows of cells
At the tip - four specialized cells - lid cells or
cover cells.
19. Dehiscence of Sex organs water or even moisture is necessary
spermatozoids lie in the antheridial cavity because the walls of
spermatids are already dissolved
water finds its way to the antheridial cavity through the ostiole of
the cavity
antheridium bursts liberating antherozoids due to pressure created
archegonium reaches maturity, the ventral canal cell and the neck
canal cells disintegrate or degenerate to form mucilage
mucilage absorbs more water and pressure is created separating the
lid cells
Sperms reach to the egg cell.
20. Fertilization:
Certain chemical substances are exuded along with the
mucilage
These chemicals probably attract the spermatozoids.
Only one of the antherozoids surrounding the egg succeeds in
uniting with the egg
Gametophytic stage ends with the process of fertilization.
The zygote, the first cell of the sporophytic generation is
embedded in venter
21. Sporophyte
Zygote is the first cell of
diploid or sporophytic
generation
The mature sporophyte of
Riccia is the simplest
among the sporophytes
It consists of only capsule
or the spore sac, while
foot and seta are absent
22. Sporophyte
The sporophyte is embedded in the
storage tissue of the gametophyte
and enclosed in the venter cavity of
the archegonium.
zygote divides mitotically to form
sporogonium
The sporophytes are last cells of
diploid generation
The sporophytes divide meiotically
to produce haploid cells-spores
23. Sporophyte

favourable conditions, they
germinate to from new plants
24. Spores
spore is tetrahedral
spore wall or sporoderm is formed of
two layers, the outer exine
(exosporium), and the inner intine
(endosporium)
exine is variously ornamented
exine is cuticularised, while the intine
is thin walled
25. Spore germination
presence of light and the presence
of moisture
spore absorbs water and the
pressure created ruptures the exine.
intine comes out forming a short
germ tube
contents of the spore migrate to
the tip of the germ-tube and a
partition is formed
division and redivision of the apical
region results into a new
gametophyte
