Major Themes in Land Plant Evolution
Progressive reduction of the gametophyte stage
Independent sporophyte
Evolution of pollen (replaces swimming sperm)
Evolution of the seed (replaces spores as dispersal agent)
Homospory Heterospory (separate male and female spores)
also... Improved vascular tissues
Increased height and structural strength
Anatomical + physiological adaptations to drier environments
Gymnosperms: Evolution of the Seed

Adaptations to Dry Living:Stomata and Cuticle
Cuticle = waxy protective layer on the outside of cells that prevents water loss
In stomata (singular = stoma), guard cells open to allow CO2 to enter open pores..

Bryophyte life cycle
--
Gametophyte is dominant

Seedless vascular plant life cycle
- Sperm must still swim to reach egg - Little protection for the embryo -
Sporophyte is dominant

Development of the gymnosperm seed from an ovule in Pinus sp.
Gymnosperm ovules have 1 protective outer layer, or integument, composed of tissue from sporophyte (mom’s tissue)
Pollen grain grows a pollen tube of haploid cells to penetrate the micropyle, the opening through the integument; releases sperm
Fertilized egg grows into embryo, surrounded by female gametophyte tissue (its food) and the sporophyte’s integument (its protection)
