Lecture #4 – Plant Structure, Growth And Development
2
Key Concepts:
• What is a kingdom?• Why study plants?• What makes a plant a plant?• The hierarchy of structure – plant cells,
tissues and organs• Growth• Primary growth – elongation• Secondary growth – diameter expansion• Morphogenesis occurs during growth

Image – Linnaeus
Carolus Linnaeus
(1707-1778)
The founder of modern taxonomy defined kingdoms by morphological
similarity

Linnaeus’ Taxonomic Hierarchy
Taxonomic Category Example (taxon)
Kingdom Plantae, also Metaphyta = all plants
Division (phylum) Magnoliophyta = all angiosperms
Class Liliopsida = all monocots
Order Asparagales = related families (Orchidaceae, Iridaceae, etc)
Family Orchidaceae = related genera (Platanthera, Spiranthes, etc)
Genus Platanthera = related species (P. ciliaris, P. integra, etc)
Specific name/epithet ciliaris = one species

Images – the yellow fringed orchid
Platanthera ciliaris
7
Images – the 3 multicellular kingdoms, animals, fungi and plants
Linnaeus recognized only 2 kingdoms• If it moved – animal; if it didn’t – plant• Fungi were lumped with plants• The microscopic world was largely unknown
8
Diagram – the 5 kingdom system
The 5 kingdom system – developed in the 1960’s and used until recently
9
Diagram – 3 domain system of classification
Molecular data supports 3 domain classification scheme
Kingdoms are defined by monophyletic lineage
10
Diagram – transition from 5 kingdom to 3 domain system indicating dynamic nature of classification
Classification is Dynamic!
Multicellular eukaryotes remain fairly well defined – the plants, fungi and animals. Classification of single
celled organisms is still underway.
11
Current Taxonomic HierarchyTaxonomic Category Example (taxon)
Domain Eukarya = all eukaryotic organisms
Kingdom Plantae, also Metaphyta = all plants
Division (phylum) Magnoliophyta = all angiosperms
Class Liliopsida = all monocots
Order Asparagales = related families (Orchidaceae, Iridaceae, etc)
Family Orchidaceae = related genera (Platanthera, Spiranthes, etc)
Genus Platanthera = related species (P. ciliaris, P. integra, etc)
Specific name/epithet ciliaris = one species

Why Plants?
13
Image – shooting stars
Why Plants?
• Food• Pharmaceuticals• Building materials• Furniture• Paper• Chemicals• Horticulture/Floriculture• etc…..
14
What makes a plant a plant???• multicellular, eukaryotic organisms with extensive specialization
• almost all are photosynthetic, with chloroplasts (= green)– some obtain additional nutrition through parasitism or carnivory– some are saprophytic, entirely without chlorophyll (eat dead OM)
• excess carbohydrates stored as starch (coiled, branched polymer of glucose)
• cell walls of cellulose = fibrous (not branched) polysaccharide = accounts for the relative rigidity of the cell wall
• cell division by formation of cell plate
• most extant plant species are terrestrial (many characteristics that are adapted for terrestrial life)
• separated from cyanobacteria by chloroplasts
• separated from green algae by various adaptations to terrestrial life
15
Images and diagrams – characteristics that separate plants from other kingdoms
16
What makes a plant a plant???• Multicellular, eukaryotic organisms with extensive
specialization • Almost all are photosynthetic, with chloroplasts (= green)
Some obtain additional nutrition through parasitism or carnivory Some are saprophytic, entirely without chlorophyll (absorb dead
OM)• Excess carbohydrates stored as starch (coiled, branched
polymer of glucose)• Cell walls of cellulose = fibrous (not branched)
polysaccharide = accounts for the relative rigidity of the cell wall
• Cell division by formation of cell plate• Most extant plant species are terrestrial (many
characteristics that are adapted for terrestrial life)• Separated from cyanobacteria by chloroplasts• Separated from green algae by various adaptations to
terrestrial life Read this later….
17
Plants were the first organisms to move onto land
• Occurred about 475mya• Very different conditions from former
marine habitat• Many new traits emerged in adaptation to
life on dry land• Extensive adaptive radiation into many
new ecological niches
18
Diagram – phylogeny of land plants; same on next slide
Four major groups of plants have emerged
since plants took to land
19
We will focus on
angiosperms
Next semester in 211 you will learn more about the transition from water to land,
and the evolution of reproductive strategies in all
plants
20

• Primary wall is produced firstMostly cellulose
• Secondary walls are produced laterLignified, so ???
• Secondary walls are interior to primary walls

Collenchyma
• Thick primary wall
• No secondary wallImplications???
• Support growing tissues
31
Collenchyma
• Thick primary wall
• No secondary wall Extensible – no
lignin means they can elongate

lignifiedLignified cells are rigid
and fixed in size• Support mature plant
parts• Often dead at maturity
34
Micrographs – collenchyma and sclerenchyma cell comparison
Collenchyma vs. Sclerenchyma• Both provide structural support• Both have thick walls• Collenchyma = thick primary wall, no lignin• Sclerenchyma = thick secondary wall, lignified
35
Diagrams and micrograph – tracheids and vessel elements
Xylem Elements
• Lignified secondary walls
• Always dead at maturity (open)

37
Critical Thinking
• Vessel elements and the convergent evolution of rings
• What else looks like this????

• Stiff rings hold the “tube” openTrachea in both
vertebrates and inverts
38
Micrograph – phloem elements
Phloem Elements
• Sieve tube members + companion cells
• STM lack nucleus, ribosomes – their metabolism is controlled by the companion cells
• Function to transport the products of metabolism
• Non-angiosperms have more primitive phloem elements
39
Diagram – phloem elements
Critical Thinking
• What might be the functional advantage of a cell with no nucleus???
40
Critical Thinking
• What might be the functional advantage of a cell with no nucleus???
• Sieve plates are very open• Plus, function is to move large volumes of
sap around the plantNucleus and other organelles get in the way
• But, phloem transport requires ATP and thus a living cell
41
Micrographs – plant cell types
Plants are Simple
Only Five Major Cell Types
• Parenchyma
• Collenchyma
• Sclerenchyma
• Xylem elements
• Phloem elements
42
Hands On• Use thin sections and stains to see
different plant cells (Page 13)• Sections must be VERY thin to allow light
to pass through• Use toluidine blue to increase contrast• With a fresh section, use phloroglucinol to
see lignified areas of the tissues• Follow instructions for staining in manual,
and take notes to answer questions on handout – label and keep your samples
43

• Sclerenchyma
• Xylem elements
• Phloem elements
44
Diagram – plant tissue types
Tissue Systems
• Epidermis• Vascular• Ground• Meristem
45
Micrograph and diagram – epidermis
Epidermis Tissue:• Covers the outer surface of all
plant parts• Shoot surfaces covered with
waxy cuticleHelps to protect the plant and
prevent desiccation• Usually a single, transparent
cell layer• Tight joints; stomata allow for
gas exchange
46
Critical Thinking
• Do roots have a waxy cuticle???• Why or why not???
47
Critical Thinking
• Do roots have a waxy cuticle???• No• Why or why not???• Wax is waterproof
Roots absorb water from the soilA waxy coating would be a functional
DISadvantage
Never forget the importance of natural selection!!!!!
48
Hands On
• Look at your leaf cross sections• Can you see the epidermis?• Can you see the waxy cuticle?
Diagram of leaf tissue arrangement
49
Micrograph – vascular bundle in cross section
Vascular Tissue:
• Transports water, solutes, and metabolic products throughout the plant
• Confers structural support• Includes xylem elements,
phloem elements, parenchyma and sclerenchyma fibers
50
Critical Thinking
• Why does vascular tissue give structural support to a plant???
51
Critical Thinking
• Why does vascular tissue give structural support to a plant???
• LIGNIN• Xylem and sclerenchyma fibers are
lignified!
52
Hands On
• Look at your cross sections – leaf and stem
• Can you see the vascular tissues?
Diagram of leaf tissue arrangement
53
Micrograph and diagram – ground tissues in stems and leaves
Ground Tissue:
• Bulk of the plant body – pith, cortex and mesophyll
• Mostly parenchyma• Most metabolic,
structural and storage functions
54
Hands On
• Look at the stem cross sections• Can you see the ground tissues?• The potatoes are mostly ground tissue
What characteristics do they share with other stems?
What differences?What function???
55

• Is this what the inside of a tree looks like???
56
Micrograph of herbaceous eudicot stem; image of woody stem; diagram of woody stem tissue organization
Critical Thinking
• Is this what the inside of a tree looks like???
• No – wood is xylem tissueThe bulk of a tree is wood, not ground tissue
57
Image – new growth at tip of stem
Meristem Tissue:
• How the plant grows• Cells divide constantly during the growing
season to make new tissues• More details later
58
Diagram – plant tissue systems
Plants are Simple
Only Four Major Tissue Types
• Epidermis• Vascular• Ground• Meristem
59
Tissues Make Organs:
• Roots – anchor the plant, absorb water and nutrients
• Stems – support the leaves• Leaves – main site of photosynthesis• Reproductive organs (flowers, cones, etc –
more later)
All organs have additional functions – hormone synthesis, transport, etc…
60
Diagram – root and shoot systems
Plant Organ Systems
61
Hands On
• Show ‘n’ Tell• What plant parts did you bring???• Discuss your plants with your team• Focus on visible tissues and organs• Be prepared to demonstrate your findings
to the whole class
62
ancestral
paleoherbs magnoliids eudicots monocots
Modern molecular evidence indicates four classes of angiosperms
Not all plants have the same tissue organization in their organs
63
Images – water lily and magnolia
Paleoherbs and Magnoliids comprise about 3% of angiosperms
Paleoherbs• Aristolochiaceae, Nymphaeaceae, etc
Magnoliids• Magnoliaceae, Lauraceae, nutmeg, black
pepper, etc
64
ancestral
paleoherbs magnoliids eudicots monocots
Modern evidence indicates 4 classes of angiosperms
~ 97% of angiosperms
65
Images – monocots
Monocots include grasses, sedges, iris, orchids, lilies, palms, etc…..
66
Critical Thinking
• Grasses are arguably the most important plant family
• Why???
67
Critical Thinking
• Grasses are arguably the most important plant family
• Why???• They feed the world
Direct nutrition for most of the world – grains such as rice, wheat and corn
Indirect nutrition by feeding the animals we eat
68
Images – eudicots
Eudicots include 70+% of all angiosperms:
• Most broadleaf trees and shrubs• Most fruit and vegetable crops• Most herbaceous flowering plants
69
Monocots vs. Eudicots
Monocots• Flower parts in multiples of 3• Parallel leaf venation• Single cotyledon• Vascular bundles in a ring in the roots• Vascular bundles in complex arrangement in the
stem
• ~90,000 species
Eudicots• Flower parts in multiples
of 4 or 5• Netted leaf venation• Two cotyledons• Vascular tissues in a
solid core in the roots• Vascular bundles in a
ring around the stem• Modern classification
indicates 2 small primitive groups + eudicots
• 200,000+ species

81
Hands On
• Examine the micrographs and discuss with your team (switch PowerPoints)
• What is the tissue organization in each slide, and how does that tell you what plant part is represented?

85
Hands On
• Make a cross section of both monocot and eudicot leaves
• Stain with T-blue• Position both on the slide for side-by-side
comparison• Note the similarities and differences in
tissue organization
86
Diagram – shoot and root systems
See, plants really are simple
• 5 cell types• 4 tissue types• 4 organ types
87
Plant Growth
• Remember, most plants are anchored by roots
• They can’t move to escape or take advantage of changes in their environment
• Plants adjust to their environment• Simple structure + lots of developmental
flexibility allow plants to alter when and how they grow
Developmental flexibility comes from meristems
88
Meristem Tissues
• Actively dividing cells that generate all other cells in the plant body
• Cause indeterminate growthStems and roots elongate throughout the
plant’s life (indeterminate primary growth)Trees continually expand in diameter
(indeterminate secondary growth)Branches form in roots and stems
89
Not all plant parts have indeterminate growth patterns
Indeterminate:Rootsand
StemsThese parts grow
throughout the life of the plant, exploring
new environments or responding to
damage
Determinate:LeavesFlowersFruits
These parts grow to a genetically +/-
predetermined size and shape and then stop – cannot repair
damage
90
Some mature cells can de-differentiate to become meristematic once more!!!
• Primarily occurs in the indeterminate partsStems and roots
• A process that very seldom occurs in other kingdoms
• Allows stems and roots to repair damage and form branches and sprouts
91
Critical Thinking
• Not all stem and root cells can de-differentiate….
• What would control this???
92
Critical Thinking
• Not all stem and root cells can de-differentiate…
• What would control this???• Lignin!!!
Lignin is strong and rigidOnce a cell is lignified, it cannot expand or
divide
93
Growth in Plants:an irreversible increase in size due to
metabolic processes(processes that use ATP energy)
• Cell division produces new cells = function of meristem
• Cell expansion increases the size of the new cells = up to 80% of size increase
• Cell differentiation occurs during and after expansion
94
Diagram – planes of cell division and the effect on morphogenesis
The plane of cell division contributes to morphogenesis
95
Division in one plane results in files of cells
96
Division in two planes results in sheets of cells
97
Division in three planes results in 3-D masses of cells
98
Critical Thinking
• What tissues are files of cells???• What tissues are sheets of cells???• What tissues are 3-D bulky???
99
Critical Thinking
• What tissues are files of cells???Primary vascular tissues, sclerenchyma fibers
• What tissues are sheets of cells???Epidermis, secondary vascular tissues
• What tissues are 3-D bulky???Ground tissues – pith and cortex
100
Hands On
• Use pasta wheels to build all three tissue types
• Each wheel = one cell
101
Growth in Plants:an irreversible increase in size due to
metabolic processes(processes that use ATP energy)
• Cell division produces new cells = function of meristem
• Cell expansion increases the size of the new cells = up to 80% of size increase
• Cell differentiation occurs during and after expansion
102
Diagram – how auxin works to promote cell expansion
Auxin-mediated cell expansion
ATP is usedUse the index to find the figure on the
acid growth hypothesis
103
Diagram – cellulose orientation in primary wall and the effects on morphogenesis
The direction of cell expansion depends on cellulose orientation, and contributes to morphogenesis
104
Growth in Plants:an irreversible increase in size due to
metabolic processes(processes that use ATP energy)
• Cell division produces new cells = function of meristem
• Cell expansion increases the size of the new cells = up to 80% of size increase
• Cell differentiation occurs during and after expansion
105
Diagram – patterns of growth in roots
Expansion and differentiation occur in an overlapping
zone in all plant parts
106
REVIEW: Growth in Plants:an irreversible increase in size due to
metabolic processes(processes that use ATP energy)
• Cell division produces new cells = function of meristem
• Cell expansion increases the size of the new cells = up to 80% of size increase
• Cell differentiation occurs during and after expansion
107
Diagram – location of meristems on the plant body; next slide also
Location of the meristems
determines the pattern of plant
growth
Most common meristems:
apical, axillary and lateral
108
Apical meristems
cause elongation of
roots and stems
109
Micrograph – longitudinal section showing distribution of tissues in root
110
Root Cap• Protects the meristem• Determines geotropism• Secretes mucigel
Eases movement of roots through soilSecretes chemicals that enhance nutrient
uptake• Constantly shedding cells
Mechanical abrasion as roots grow through soil
• Constantly being replenished by meristem

115
Micrograph – root hairs extending from epidermis; same on next few slides
Root Hairs• Form as the epidermis
fully differentiates• Extensions off epidermal
cellsNOT files of cellsPart of an epidermal cell
• Hugely increase the surface area of the epidermis
• 10 cubic cm (double handful) of soil might contain 1 m of plant rootsMostly root hairs
116
Critical Thinking
• What is the selective advantage of root hairs???
117
Critical Thinking
• What is the selective advantage of root hairs???
• Increased surface area allows for more absorption of water and nutrients
• Fine diameter allows roots to ramify throughout the soil environment
118
Root Hairs• By contrast, 10 cc of soil
may contain up to 1000 m of fungal hyphae (1km!)These serve a similar
function for the fungusRamify throughout the
substrate for maximum absorption
Some fungi form symbiotic associations with plant roots and both organisms benefit from this huge absorptive surface area!
More in 211…..
119
Diagram – location of apical meristems
Apical meristems
cause elongation of
roots and stems
120
Micrograph – longitudinal section of stem showing apical and axillary meristems
Apical Meristems in Shoots
121
Critical Thinking
• There is no “shoot cap” – why not???
122
Critical Thinking
• There is no “shoot cap” – why not???• No selective advantage! Shoots “push”
through air – essentially no friction
123
Diagram – meristem locations
Axillary meristems allow for
branching – similar in
structure and function to
apical meristems
Remember, pericycle in roots has same function
124
Micrograph – longitudinal section of stem showing apical and axillary meristems; same on next two slides
Axillary Meristems in Shoots
125
Primary Growth in Shoots
• Apical meristem• Leaf primordia• Axillary buds
126
As with roots – cell division occurs first; zones of expansion and differentiation
overlap
Axillary buds may activate to make branches, or may remain dormant
127
Diagram – how stems elongate during primary growth
Primary growth of a shoot – elongation from the tip

Hands On
• Start some seedsDampen a paper towelAdd seedsKeep lightly covered – why???
• Keep a “journal”
129
Diagram – primary vs. secondary growth
Remember:
Elongation is primary growth
Diameter expansion is
secondary growth
130
Diagram – meristem locations
Lateral meristems
cause diameter
expansion
Roots also expand in diameter, but it’s more complicated – we’ll save that for
BIOL 300

the xylem to the interior and the phloem to the exterior
136
Diagram – location of the vascular cambium relative to other tree tissues
Secondary xylem and phloem form through cell division by the vascular cambium
137
Diagram – transition from primary growth to secondary growth; same on next slide
During primary growth the vascular tissues form in bundles from the apical meristem
During secondary growth the vascular tissues form in cylinders from the vascular cambium
2o xylem to the inside
2o phloem to the outside
138
Secondary xylem
accumulates
139
Micrograph – cross section of woody plant showing secondary tissues; same on next slide
Secondary Xylem = Wood!
140
Annual growth rings are accumulating rings of secondary xylem
Vascular cambium divides essentially in two planes and remains only a single cell layer thick
Divisions make 2o xylem and 2o phloem and also increase the diameter of the cambium itself
One layer of cambium, continuously increasing in
diameter
141
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4
Wood accumulates with each year’s elongationStep 1: Primary growth elongates the tip
Step 2: Vascular cambium forms connecting the bundlesStep 3: Secondary growth builds diameter
142
Diagram – pattern of accumulation of secondary xylem as a tree grows; same on next slide
Critical Thinking
• Why do eudicot trees taper???
143
Critical Thinking• Why do eudicot trees taper???• Elongation occurs from the tip• Every year adds height to the stem• Each new section of stem has just
one layer of secondary growthThe section below that has +1 layersThe section below that has +2 layersThe section below that has +3 layersetc, etc, etcThe bottom of the tree has as many
rings as the tree is old
144
Bark• All tissues external to the vascular
cambium• Diameter expansion splits original
epidermisBark structurally and functionally replaces
epidermis• Inner bark
Functional secondary phloem• Outer bark
Composition varies as tree matures
145
Micrograph – cross section of a tree showing bark formation

146
Cork Cambium
• Meristematic tissue• Forms in a cylinder during 2o growth• Divides to produce cork cells
Cells filled with waxy, waterproof suberin• Eventually cork cambium becomes cork
itself

tissues and organs• Growth• Primary growth – elongation• Secondary growth – diameter expansion• Morphogenesis occurs during growth
157
Hands On
• Go downstairs and find a living woody plant
• Snap off a twig – be gentle!• Locate bark – peel off and describe
