MORPHOLOGY OF
FLOWERING PLANTS
Primary root develops from radicle
Morphology of flowering plants
Produce secondary, tertiary roots etc
Tap root system- primary roots and its branches
Fibrous root system- wheatAdventitious root system- other functions- banyan tree
The root
Morphology of flowering plantsRegions of
root
Prop roots- banyan tree
Stilt root- sugar cane
Modifications of root
Pneumatophores- mangroves
Morphology of flowering plants
Nodes and internodes
Absorption of water and minerals, conduction anchorage, storage, protection, spreading out leaves, flowers etc
stemMorphology of flowering
plants
Underground stem modification for food storage- potato, ginger etc
Axillary buds to thorns as in Citrus
Modifications of stem
Tendrils as in cucumber
Morphology of flowering plants
Photosynthesis- cactus
Modifications of stem
Spreading- grass, chrysanthemum
Vegetative propagation- pistia
Morphology of flowering plants
From node for photosynthesis
Leaf base, petiole and lamina
leafMorphology of flowering
plants
In monocotyledons-sheath
leafMorphology of flowering
plants
Pulvinus – in leguminous plants
Veins are the channels for conduction
Arrangement of veins and veinlets
parallel
venation
reticulate
Morphology of flowering plants
Simple- china rose
Pinnately compund leaf
-neem
Palmately compound leaf
-cotton
Types of leavesMorphology of flowering
plants
Pattern of arrangement of leaves
Alternate- china rose Opposite- guava
Whorled- alstonia
phyllotaxiMorphology of flowering
plants
Tendrils- peas Spines- cactus
Modifications of leaf
Food storage- onionAcacia- stem modified for photosynthesis
Morphology of flowering plants
insectivorous
Flower- modified shootArrangement of flowers- inflorescence
The inflorescence
Recemose- ceasalpinia
Cymose- jasmine
Morphology of flowering plants
Reproductive unit
Four whorls on thalamus- calyx, corolla, androecium and gynoeciumReproductive- androecium, gynoecium
Acessory- calyx and corolla
perianth
flowerMorphology of flowering
plants
symetryActinomorphic- chilly, datura
Zygomorphic- pea, cassia
Asymmetric- canna
flowerMorphology of flowering
plants
Trimerous, tetramerous or pentamerous
Bracteate, ebracteate
flowerMorphology of flowering
plants
Perigynous- rose
flowerMorphology of flowering
plants
epigunous- sunflower
Corolla- coloured,peltals, gamo/polypetalous
Calyx- sepals, green, protection, gamosepalous/polysepalous
Parts of flowerMorphology of flowering
plants
Arrangement of sepals or petals in floral budaestivation
Parts of flowerMorphology of flowering
plants
Valvate- calotropis
Twisted- cotton
Imbricate-cassia
Vexillary/papilonaceous- pea
Filament and anther
Composed of stamens
Staminode- sterile stamen
Epipetalous- attached to petals
androeciumMorphology of flowering
plants
Epiphyllous- attached to tepals
United into one bunch- monoadelphous- china rose
Polyandrous- remain free
Two bundles- pea
Polyadelphous- citrus
androeciumMorphology of flowering
plants
Varying length- salvinia
Carpel- style, stigma and ovary
Made up of carpels
Ovary bears placenta- ovules
gynoeciumMorphology of flowering
plants
Apocarpous- carpels free
syncarpous- carpels united
Marginal- peaPlacentation- arrangement of ovules
gynoeciumMorphology of flowering
plants
Parietal-mustard
Free central- primrose Basal- sunflower
Mature ripened ovaryParthenocarpic fruit- formed without fertilization- banana
fruit
Dry pericarp- epicarp, mesocarp, endocarp- coconut, mango
Pericarp- walls of fruit, fleshy or dry
Morphology of flowering plants
Ovules develop into seeds
Seed coat and embryo
seed
Embryo- monocotyledon or dicotyledon
Morphology of flowering plants
Dicotyledonous seed
Seed coat – testa and tegmen
Hilum- scar where seed attached to fruit
Morphology of flowering plants
Micropyle- small pore
Embryo- embryonal axis and two cotyledons
Embryonal axis- radicle and plumule
endosperm
monocotyledonous seed
Seed coat – fused with fruit wall
Aleuron layer-separates endosperm and embryo
Morphology of flowering plants
One cotyledon- scutellum
Endosperm bulky
Radicle is covered by coleorhiza
Plumule is covered by coleoptile
