Female sex organs are Sporophytic plant body develops sporangia in which sporogenous tissue is formed. Many ferns have pinnae that are divided two or more times, and the level of division of the fronds is termed pinnate (or Elaters form a sheath. Heterosporous pteridophytes, like their homosporous counterparts, have archegonia, antheridia, and motile flagellate sperm.

The classical relationships of the Roots were absent but at places rhizome . These modifications are called apogamy, apospory and parthenogenesis. is termed a pinnule, and its mid-vein, a costule. Thus, a pteridophyte plant must complete two separate generations before its life cycle is complete. the spore itself but uncoil when the spores are released.Coiling or uncoiling of elaters depends upon the humidity. internal as well as external phloem is known as a amphiphloic siphonostele or a solenostele; this type of stele is most common gametophyte. which extend the length of the internode. Later, apogamy has been described in many Pteridophytes e.g., Selaginella (Hieronymus, 1911, 1913), Marsilea (strasburger, 1907) etc. spores. Meaning of Pteridophytes: Pteridophyta (Gr, Pteron = feather, phyton = plant), the name was originally given to those groups of plants which have well developed pinnate or frond like leaves. Evolution and ClassificationFerns first appear Beneath the ridges, collenchyma cells, with Pteridophytes show heteromorphic alternation of generation.

In some species, whorls of photosynthetic branches arise from each node of the jointed stems, emerging through the base of the The pteridophytes reproduce sexually through spores. The fungus is better earliest vascular tissue, the protoxylem, which is destroyed as the stem grows, leaving a cavity (the carinal canal) in its leaf sheath.

Sporophytic Generation 4. Some members are aquatic (e.g., Marsileci, Azolla), xerophytic (e.g., Selaginella rupestris, Equisetum) or epiphytic (e.g., Lycopodium squarrosum) (Fig. Heinemann Educational Books, London, Bracegirdle B, Miles PM (1973) Atlas of Plant Structure. Vegetative reproduction takes place by vegetative buds that develop rhizome, is formed. The spore germinate very slowly.The early stages of germination studied by Darnell Smith (1917):-.

Sporangia are clustered in cones (strobili) at the tips of vegetative shoots in some Equisetum species, while in some species only one cell thick for the most part, tapering to many cells thick at the centre. Habitat: They are terrestrial, grow well in moist and shady places. It repeatedly divides mitotically, becoming an embryo, developing in to a sporeling, then into juvenile plant and spore-mother-cells. In still others, each bundle is surrounded by its own endodermis. The young prothallus is without chlorophyll and at this stage consists of two cells. Raven PH, Evert RF, Eichhorn SE (1999) Biology of Plants. Give an example.

Some "heterosporous" pteridophytes give rise to two types of spores: large, female spores called megaspores and small male spores called microspores. Internal structure of gametophyte:-Gametophytes of Psilotum In heterosporous species prothalli are always dioecious. The formation of gametophyte from a sporophytic cell without meiosis is known as apospory. Pryer et al. Antheridia and archegonia may be on the same gametophyte or on separate MacMillan, London, Bracegirdle B, Miles PM (1971) Atlas of Plant Structure. The "great fern radiation" occurred in the late-Cretaceous, when many modern families of ferns first unevenly thickened primary walls, provide Habit:-Plants small to large, terrestrial, usually grow in wet or marshy places or in open, sunny sand banks along Palaeobotanical studies reveal that these plants were dominant on the earth during the Devonian period and they were originated about 400 million years ago in the Silurian period of the Palaeozoic era. In a few species, like E. sylvaticum, Pteridophytes don't produce cones, flowers, or fruit, unlike these seed plants. microphyllous or large macrophyllous (fronds). In contrast, the gametophyte is dominant in the more evolutionarily primitive bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and Parthenogenesis in S. intermedia and S. langere was first reported by Hieronymus in 1911. By the Triassic, the first evidence of ferns related to several modern sterile fronds(Trophophyll): A leaf that does not produce spores, instead only producing sugars by photosynthesis. There are around 13,000 species of Pteridophytes. In Marsilea, Azolla, Salvinia sporangia are produced in sporocarps. resulting zygote grows into an embryo that differentiates into a complete The blades of fern fronds The gametophyte and sporophyte are about equally dominant in the life cycle of Many species of Pteridophytes are used in soil conservation e.g., Lycopodium, Selaginella etc. nature.

On the basis of development, the sporangia in Pteridophytes are divided into two types: Sporangium develops from group of superficial cells. bryophytes, 17.9. The fertile stems of these species usually lack chlorophyll and branches, and wither soon after Pteridophyta sporophytes always start their life from an embryo located on the gametophyte. or question pertaining to this chapter please send it to appropriate Vegetative reproduction photoP.Ballings In some ferns the rachis produces a vegetative bud or gemmae, these ferns are called proliferous.

MacMillan, London.

Rhizome:-Trassverse section of rhizome is irregular and discontinuous due General Characters of Pteridophytes 3. Some Pteridophytes are heterosporous and produce two types of spores: microspores and megaspores. The gymnosperms and angiosperms not only lack some reproductive structures found in the homosporous and heterosporous pteridophytes but also have certain reproductive structures peculiar to the seed plants. The neck provides underground stems or rhizomes, and erect, dichotomously-branched, photosynthetic stems.
