Document Summary

Seed plant development: all plants alternate between haploid and diploid generations. Derived traits of seed plants: reduced gametophytes- female gametophyte develops attached to the sporophyte. Tiny male gametophyte never develops into plant: heterospory- microspore and megaspore, ovules- gymnosperm, pollen- male, water unnecessary for fertilization, seeds- survive better than unprotected spores. Gymnosperm: naked seed, have distinct male and female sporangia. In two sexes- dioecious: pollen- tiny gametophyte, dispersal agents. Angiosperm: seed in a vessel, unification of megasporangia and microsporangia in one place, double fertilization produces triploid (3n) endosperm in one place, fruits develop walls surrounding seeds, unique to angiosperms. Its actually night length that matters: phytochrome is light sensor in plants, daylight has more red light than far-red light resulting in day pfr accumulates. Shortday: pfr represses flowering, night conversion of pfr to pr when amount of pfr in nucleus is no longer enough to block flowering. Longday: pfr stimulates flowering, pfr to pr reduced.
