26
inflorescences
flowers on the branches
27
pollination
act of moving pollen to receptive location
28
self-pollination
flower that can accept its own pollen
29
cross-pollination
leads to more variety of genes plants have biochemical blocks (rejects its own pollen) if its own pollen lands on it, it won't grow
30
pollination vectors
means by which pollen gets where it needs to go
31
kinds of pollination vectors
animal | inanimate
32
kinds of animal pollination
insects birds bats
33
kinds of insect pollination
``` beetles bees butterflies moths flies ```
34
beetles means of pollination
crawlers and chewers beetle pollinated flowers=large (southern magnolia) don't respond to color much beetles want nectar
35
possible reason for inferior ovary
beetle damage
36
coevolution of flowers
``` crude insects (beetles) evolved with old flowers sophisticated insects (bees) evolved with sophisticated flowers ```
37
bees means of pollination
fly and land on flowers (landing platform) responsive to color (see contrast between light outside and dark inside--nectar guide) when bee lands on landing platform in pulls stamen down and hits them on head leaving pollen
38
constancy
as long as nectar holds out bees will continue to go back to same flowers
39
butterflies means of pollination
``` day fliers (land on edge of flower) ROY flowers stick tongue down to get nectar ```
40
moths
``` night fliers (hover, don't land) bright white flowers, open at night, and tube like ```
41
flies means of pollination
like bad scents
42
bird pollination
hummingbirds like nectar from same flowers as butterflies (ROY) color attracts them because they can't smell
43
bat pollination
not technically blind but don't see well nocturnal white, large, open at night, with certain smell (fruity/overripe fruit) land in flower and eat nectar and pollen desert (cactus) and rainforests use bat pollination
44
types of inanimate pollination
wind | water
45
wind pollination
end up at correct place by mere chance flower has no smell or color (produces as much pollen as possible instead) typically imperfect reproduce by catkins (male flowers on wand hanging down with a few female flowers at end) --pine trees takes place before canopy is set occurs with trees growing in blocks (pollen travels next door)
46
water pollination
ex: valisneria 1. female attached by root to part underwater and male floats up (not attached) 2. male and female come together for pollination 3. male floats off and female pulled under
47
radial symmetry
petals all the same size
48
bilateral symmetry
one bigger petal (landing platform)
49
hypogynous with superior ovary
ovary above | apples, pears
50

51
epigynous with inferior ovary
ovary attached to cup below other parts hypanthium surrounds ovary
52
microsporocytes
pollen sacs beginning cells make pollen diploid
53
anther fertilization
1. pollen sacs (microsporocytes) undergo meiosis (now have 4n microspores) 2. 4 microspore divide mitotically to give 8n (pollen grains)
54
cell walls of pollen grains
1. intine (inner): made of cellulose | 2. exine (outer): made of sporopollenin (very tough)
55
pollen grains
``` generative cell (splits and forms 2 sperm cells) tube cell (leads way down to ovary--drills down) ```
56
ovary fertilization
1. egg divides meiotically 2. 3 spores closest to gap abort (1 functional megaspore) 3. undergoes 3 mitoses (8 products) 4. 1 cell from each side moves to the middle (3 on each side and 2 in the middle) 5. separate tube and generative cells come down to ovary through pollen tube (tube cell aborts when it reaches ovary) 6. 2 sperm in generative cell (one joins egg to form embryo, other joins polar nuclei to give endosperm) 7. embryo surrounded by endosperm with thick seed coat (seed in fruit) all inside ovary (whole thing becomes fruit)

91
seed
dormant plant
92
steps of germination
1. water absorbed and seed coat bursts (inhibitor compounds washed out) 2. oxygen: feeds mitochondria (very energy consuming activity) and aerates soil 3. temperature: cold temp. causes compound inhibitors to break down by freezing and thawing * 1, 2, & 3 ONLY THINGS NEEDED 4. light: some plants only germinate with light 5. fire: seeds will have no competition if fire has come through area (Jack Pines need this) 6. digestive enzymes: some seeds have to pass through digestive tract of animal so seed coat can break down
93
hilium
scar on seed
94
micropyle
hole (break in integuments) | allows oxygen across seed coat
95
hypocotyl region

150
104
6 plants that 80% of calories consumed come from
``` corn wheat rice potatoes sweet potatoes manioc ```
105
14 most consumed plants
corn, wheat, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, manioc, sugar cane, sugar beets, pinto beans, soy beans, barley, sorghum, coconut, banana *grown today on very large scale
106
problems with todays agriculture
1. 9 kcal of energy to get 1 kcal of food 2. soil erosion (every time field is plowed it is open to wind and other elements and erosion occurs 3. salinization
107
ways to improve todays agriculture
``` crop improvements new crops seed banks transgenic plants medicinal plants ethnobotany ```
108
crop improvement
* grow 14 more efficiently with more yield and higher nutrient content 1. hybrid corn 2. triticale 3. green revolution (not as efficient)
109
hybrid corn
combines 2 pure strains of corn to get perfect hybrid more uniform and efficient crop (no genetic variation) problem: whole crop wiped out if disease strikes
110
triticale
triticum (wheat) and secale (rye) | can be grown in many more places than wheat but with lower yield
111
new crops
* especially new carb and protein sources 1. jojoba: SW america (plant that saved the whales) 2. guayule: latex found in stems 3. grain amaranths: brought back (produces protein)
112
seed banks
save seeds of all known crops in world today 1 in each country (each focuses on their major crops and indigenous crops) backup in case of disease US: wheat and corn
113
transgenic plants
take crop plant and add genes (by splicing) from some other source GMOs: genetically modified organisms (very controversial)
114
medicinal plants
doctrine of signatures (universal idea) | Herbals: huge book with all ideas of doctrine
115
doctrine of signatures
1. god is great/all knowing 2. people are stupid 3. god provided stupid humans with signatures about what plants are good/bad ex: lobed leaf for liver, walnuts=brain * not necessarily true
116
ethnobotany
fusion of anthropology and botany ethnobotanist sits down with tribes to learn about their plants and medicines ex used today: curare, sangre de drago, una de gato
117
curare
from someone studying poison of poison dart causes paralysis of muscles used in surgery
118
sangre de drago
used to seal wounds (latex) | true antiseptic
119
una de gato
"cat's claw" grows as a vine and climbs using claws on branches used for tea
120
nutritional needs
CO2, H2O, minerals, light
121
minerals
macro and micro
122
macro
needed in great amount C H O P K N S Ca [Fe] Mg (Si) Si recently added Fe moved to micro
123
micro
needed in smaller amounts trace elements needed to catalyze reactions (can be reused over and over again) Fe now micro element
124
water
greatest need of any plant absorbed and lost in transpiration (leaves through open stomate) ions pumped in by ATP through root hairs and water follows soil needs to be well aerated so there is O2 present to be used by ATP to push ions across
125
cohesion-adhesion-tension theory
H2O molecules cohere to each other (bc polar) molecules bonded to walls of tube (adhesion) (when 1 molecule leaves through stomate another is pulled up into its place--sun=driving force in pulling water molecules up)
126
mass/pressure flow theory
xylem/phloem tubes run up plant sugar pumped in at top of phloem tube by ATP and water follows sugar pumped out at bottom of phloem tube by ATP (to be stored in root) and water follows high pressure at top of phloem tube low pressure at bottom of phloem tube
127
aphids
drink sugar water from phloem | can't stop drinking when full so sugar water comes out their back side
128
sap collection
spicket drilled into XYLEM of sugar maple tree | sap rising up xylem and drawn off into bucket when it hits the spicket
129
CO2
``` often limiting factor for plant growth CAM plants (succulents): adapted for stomates to open at night --> less water stress and more CO2 enters and is stored (CO2 used for photosynthesis) ```
130
what effects stomates
open and close effected by H2O availability and blue light
131
blue light
opens stomates starting at dawn | triggers release of K+ across membrane going inward and water follows
132
effect of increased temp on stomates
closes stomates | increased cell respiration and CO2 production
133
types of cell growth and development
1. cell division (apical meristem actively dividing) 2. cell growth (elongation) 3. cell differentiation/specialization 4. production of hormones
134
hormones
produced at everyday plant parts no separate glands--no endocrine system sometimes inhibitory at 1 concentration and catalyze at another concentration
135
5 main hormones
``` auxins cytokinins ethylene abscisic acid gibberellins ```
136
auxins
effects studied by Darwin 1. phototropism 2. cell differentiation 3. promotion of fruit growth 4. apical dominance 5. prevent abscission 6. weed control
137
phototropism
indole acetic acid moves down xylem at some point it starts moving sideways to dark side which stimulates differential elongation on light side which turns everything to grow towards light
138
cell differentiation
1. auxins in leaf primordia (auxins move down and make cells turn into vascular tissue (xylem and phloem)) 2. auxins in terminal bud (when bud bursts auxins are produced and ooze down short distance to make vascular cambium produce big vessel elements to carry more sugar water up 3. artificial auxins (promote root growth)
139
promotion of fruit growth
young fertilized ovule produces auxin which stimulates ovary to become fruit which protects seed spray unfertilized flower with auxins to produce seedless fruit
140
apical dominance
auxins keep lateral buds from producing competing branches has lesser effect farther you get from terminal bud if you cut off terminal bud all lateral buds will grow (why we prune shrubs)
141
prevent abcission
auxins prevent abscission zone from forming apple orchards spray trees with auxins so apples don't fall on ground and instead stay until ready to be picked all at once
142
weed control
auxins delivered at toxic levels only targets dicots (doesn't effect grass) became big during Vietnam war (sprayed in forests to see enemies)
143
cytokinins
don't act alone--act with something else sometimes auxins (RATIO MATTERS) 1. promote cytokinesis (stimulate cell division) found in actively dividing areas of plants 2. promote lateral buds 3. prevent leaf senescence (leaf aging)--keep chlorophyll going longer
144
ethylene (gas)
1. promotes fruit development 2. promotes abscission 3. promotes femaleness in cucurbits (squash) 4. promote stem thickening 5. aerenchyma tissue
145
promotes fruit development (ethylene)
tomatoes shipped green then gassed with ethylene to quickly ripen before putting out at store to sell if 1 tomato in box is overripe all others will ripen bc it will produce enough ethylene to ripen others as well
146
promotes abscission
citrus growth--lightly spray grapefruit trees so some fall off premature and branch doesn't break (work against auxins)
147
promotes femaleness in cucurbits
cucurbits grow on monoecious vines early in season have all male flowers spray some male flowers with ethylene to turn them female and get fruit sooner
148
promote stem thickening
ethylene produced in stress response makes stem stronger to pull cotyledons above ground when covered in pebbles thicken trunk of pine tree on edge of cliff to protect from wind
149
aerenchyma tissue
oxygen stress --> ethylene formation --> formation of cellulase (breaks down cellulose--what cells are made of)
150
tropisms
phototropism gravitropism/geotropism thigmotropism
151
gravitropism/geotropism (C-)
roots grow down (positive geotropism) stem grows up (negative geotropism) statoliths involved in this
152
statoliths
auxins attach to these they drop to the bottom and stimulate cells on bottom to elongate making them grow up (stems) don't know why roots grow down though
153
thigmotropism
tendrils reach up and wrap around support structure | when back side touches cells elongate and wrap up around structure
154
phytochrome mediated response
``` used to detect if in light/not in light P(red) P(far red) red=inactive far red=active when it experiences red light it goes to far red (vice versa) red --> far red = day conversion far red --> red = night conversion 1. seed germination 2. etiolation 3. phototropism 4. photoperiodism ```
155
phytochrome seed germination
some seeds have to be in light to germinate (weed seeds) | why we cover weeds with mulch
156
etiolation
taller and thinner than normal stems due to plant seeking light can undergo de-etiolation response to green up
157
photoperiodism
flowering response use this to determine what time of year it is by amount of sunlight during day some plants on a flowering schedule (every 16 hours) 1. long day (summer) 2. short day (late fall, winter, early spring)
158
florigen
could possibly carry phytochrome to bud which triggers it to turn into a flower
159
temperature mediated response
let seeds sit out in winter they will freeze and thaw repeatedly which will give around 100% germination stratification scarification vernalization
160
stratification
in big pot put layers of sand then seed then sand then seed...
161
scarification
put seeds in giant tumbler to weaken seed coat/create scars which will promote germination
162
vernalization
need for certain number of hours of cold for maximum bloom and fruit peaches need cold but can't withstand late freezes
163
circadian rhythms
24 hour cycles | plants reset themselves every 24 hours due to temperature and light
164
things affected by circadian rhythm
``` flower opening and closing auxin production mitosis root pressure discharge of fungal spores ```
165
flower opening and closing
schedule adapted to accommodate pollinators
166
auxin production
schedule of when elongation events take place
167
mitosis
different plants have different times of cell elongation
168
root pressure
higher root pressure at dawn
169
discharge of fungal spores
dispersed early in morning so they catch a light breeze and travel a short distance
170
4 external factors
tropisms phytochrome temperature mediated response circadian rhythm
171
abscisic acid
plant tranquilizer (inhibitor-works against other hormones) 1. promotes dormancy 2. promotes leaf and fruit abscission 3. transpiration
172
ABA promotes dormancy
after winter ABA destroyed by all the freezes and thaws throughout season terminal bud and acorn
173
ABA promotes leaf and fruit abscission
works against auxins and with ethylene
174
ABA transpiration
collection of water leads to collection of ABA which closes stomates and prevents transpiration
175
gibberellins
1st gibberellin isolated from fungus on rice plant that made them fall over 1. promote cell division and elongation 2. promote production of parthenocarpic fruits 3. promote seed and pollen germination
176
gibberellins promote cell division and elongation
do job of cytokinins and auxins (dwarf mutants lacked production of gibberellins so spray to make stem grow) useful to stretch things out
177
gibberellins promote production of parthenocarpic fruits
promote production of seedless fruits | make seedless grapes and elongate them to make them bigger to sell
178
chlorosis
spotted yellow on leaves
179
necrosis
spots of dead tissue
