  1. Plant Reproduction and Responses By: Diana Boyle, Jordan Capelle, Ross Dairiki, Erika Keer

  2. General Info. • Fertilization=Fusion of gametes • 2 reproductive structures: FLOWERS & FRUITS

  3. Flowers • Flowers=Reproductive shoots of angiosperm sporophytes - Complete Flowershave 4 basic floral organs (sepals, petals, stamens, carpels) - Incomplete Flowerslack 4 basic organs (Example: Grass Flowers) - Some flowers are sterile--lack stamens and carpels - Others are unisexual--lack either stamens or carpels - Inflorescence=Cluster of flowers

  4. Diagram of a flower (left) and fertilization (right)

  5. Gametophytes MALE FEMALE

  6. Mechanism of Fertilization • Pollination=Transfer of pollen from an anther to a stigma - Made possible by wind (random seed dispersal), water, or animals (insects, birds, bats) • Coevolution=Joint evolution of two interacting species, each in response to selection imposed by the other - Many species of flowering plants have coevolved with specific pollinators

  7. Double Fertilization The union of 2 sperm cells with different nuclei of the female gametophyte

  8. Seed Structure and Function Endosperm • Usually develops before embryo • Triploid nucleus of ovule’s central cell divides, forming “supercell” with multiple nuclei • Cell eventually splits & new cell walls form • Often stores nutrients that can be used by seedling • Example: coconut milk Embryo • Comes from terminal cell (part of first mitotic division) • Other part (basal cell) keeps dividing  produces thread of cells called suspensor • Transfers nutrients to embryo from parent plant (and sometimes endosperm) • Shoots & roots sustain primary growth after seed germinates

  9.  Diagram of Seed

  10. Fruit Structure & Function • Fruit=developed from flower ovary • Protect enclosed seeds • Aid in dispersal Animals eat fruit and poop out seeds in new location • Fertilization triggers hormonal changes that begin ovary transformation

  11. Developmental Origin of Fruits

  12. Asexual Reproduction • Can be sustained by meristems=regions of undifferentiated, dividing cells • Parenchyma cells throughout plant divide and differentiate into more specialized types of cells (regenerate lost parts) • Fragmentation=separation of parent plant into parts that develop into whole plants • Apomixis=asexual production of seeds

  13. Benefits of Reproductive Methods ASEXUAL • No need for pollinator • Allows plant to pass exact copy of genes (good if environment is stable) • Offspring generally stronger than sexually produced offspring (though germination is still very precarious SEXUAL • Better against unstable environments (pathogens, other fluctuation) because it generates variation • Dispersal of offspring to more distant locations • Seed dormancy puts growth on hold until environmental conditions become more favorable

  14. This music video includes some general information about plant reproduction/responses to provide a break from slides! Enjoy 

  15. Mechanisms to Prevent Self-Fertilization • Self-fertilization increases genetic variety by ensuring sperm and egg from different parents • Self-incompatibility= Ability of a plant to reject its own pollen and sometimes the pollen of closely related individuals • Dioecious species=Plants can’t self-fertilize because different individuals have either staminate flowers (no carpels) or carpellate flowers (no stamens); other plants have functional carpel and stamens, but mature at diff. times or have unfavorable orientation

  16. Human Manipulation • Clones from cutting: most houseplants, woody ornamentals, and orchard trees • Grafting: makes it possible to combine the best qualities of different species or varieties into 1 plant • “Host” plant=stock, grafted part=scion • Test-tube cloning • Protoplast fusionwith tissue culture methods to invent new plant varieties (hybrids) that can be cloned (protoplast=plant cell with wall removed by enzyme treatment)

  17. Plant Responses to Internal and External Signals • Plants receive specific signals and respond to them in ways that enhance survival and reproduction • Etiolation: the morphological adaptation for growing in the dark • De-etiolation: the change that plants undergo when shoot reaches light • Stem elongation slows, leaves expand, roots elongate, & shoot produces chlorophyll

  18. Reception • Signals are first detected by receptors, proteins that undergo changes & shape in response to a specific stimulus • Receptor involved in de-etiolation is a type of phytochrome • Located in cytoplasm • Receptors can be sensitive to weak environmental or chemical signals

  19. Transduction • Some de-etiolation responses=triggered by extremely low levels of life • Second messengers=small molecules & ions that amplify signal & transfer it from receptor to other proteins that carry out response • Ca2+ & cyclic GMP=second messengers in de-etiolation • Changes in Ca2+ levels=important in photochrome signal transduction • Photochrome activation opening of Ca2+ channels & a transient 100-fold increase in cytosolic Ca2+ levels • Photochrome changes shape, which leads to activation of guanylylcyclase • cGmp induces partial de-etiolation response

  20. Response • Involves increased activity of enzymes • 2 mechanisms that can enhance an enzymatic step in a biochemical pathway= • post-translational modification 2) transcriptional regulation • post-translational modification- activates pre-existing enzymes • transcriptional regulation- increases/decreases the synthesis of mRNA encoding a specific enzyme

  21. Overview of Reception, Transduction, Response

  22. Plant Hormones • Hormone=signaling molecule produced in organism’s body & transported to other parts, where it binds to specific receptor & triggers responses in target cells & tissues • Every aspect of plant growth & development=due to hormonal control • Tropism=any growth response that results in plant organs curving toward/away from stimuli • Triple Response=hormone that enables shoot to avoid obstacles • Senescence=programmed death of certain cells or organs on the entire plant

  23. Plant Hormones (continued)

  24. Responses to Light • Blue-light receptors: control hypocotyl elongation, stomatal opening, & phototropism • Red and Blue light=most important colors in regulation of plant’s photomorphogenesis (effects of light on plant morphology) • Blue light initiates variety of responses in plants • including phototropism, the light-induced opening of stomata • 3 types of pigments detecting blue light= 1) Cryptochromevs 2) Phototropin 3) Zeaxanthin • Phytochromes: help with information about light, help plants keep track of passage of days and seasons • Action spectrum: graph that depicts relative effectiveness of diff wavelengths of radiation in driving a particular process

  25. Responses to light Continued • Circadian rhythms: physiological cycle of ~24 hrs that persists even in absence of external cues • Photoperiodism: physiological response to photoperiod, such as flowering • Short-day plantsrequire light period shorter than critical length to flowers • Long-day plantsflower late in spring or early summer, need longer than a certain number of hours • Day-neutral plants (tomatoes, rice, dandelions)= unaffected by photoperiod & flower when they reach a certain stage of maturity

  26. Reponses the light continued • Plants detect direction, intensity, & wavelength (color) • Phytochrome conversion also provides info about relative length of day & night (photoperiod) & hence time of year • Photoperiodism regulates time of flowering in many species • Free-running circadian cycles ~24 hours

  27. Florigen: hypothetical signaling molecule for flowering

  28. Plant Response to Stimuli • Gravitropism=response to gravity • Occurs as soon as a seed germinates • Statoliths=dense cytoplasmic components that settle under influence of gravity to lower portions of the cell • Action potentialsresemble nerve impulses in animals, but 1000x slower • Abiotic: nonliving stresses that plants encounter • Biotic: living stresses, such as herbivores and pathogens • Heat-shock proteins: help protect other proteins from heat stress

  29. Environmental Stresses/Responses

  30. Plant Defense pathogen Plants respond to attacks by herbivores and pathogens • Physical defenses--thorns & trichromes • Produce chemicals=distasteful & toxic • 1stline of defense: epidermis and periderm • 2nd line of defense: chemical attack that destroys pathogen and prevents spread of infection • Plant has little specific defense against virulent pathogens • Avirulent pathogens: strains of pathogens that mildly harm but do not kill host plants herbivore

  31. Defense responses against an avirulent pathogen

  32. Plants Defense (Continued) • Gene-for-gene recognition=form of plant disease resistance in which pathogen-derived molecules (effectors) are recognized by one of the 100s of resistance genes in plant’s genome • Hypersensitive response: defense response that causes cell and tissue death near infection site • Systemic acquired resistance: arises from plant-wide expression of defense genes • Salicylic acid: activates signal transduction pthwy that induces production of pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins & resistance to pathogen attack
