Presentation Summary : Animal Classification, Phylogeny and Organization E. Kingdoms of Life PLANTAE Pteridophytes In these plant body contains stem, roots and leaves. 4. Morphology, Reproduction, Life Cycle and Alternation of Generation of Pteridophytes. The important characteristics of Pteridophytes are summarized below: Give a comparative account of the following: (a) Marchantia and Marsilea (b) Cycas and rose Answer: (a) Marchantia is a Bryophyte whereas Marsilea is a Pteridophyte. The Main Characteristics of Plants1. Question 2. “Thallophyte | Algae, Plant Kingdom, & Fungi | Classification & Division.” Biology, Byjus Classes, 3 Sept. 2016, Available here. Pteridophyta consists of ferns and their relatives. They are the first vascular plants i.e. BRYOPHYTES (mosses) 2. ANGIOSPERMS (flowering plants) 4. The megaspore and microspore germinate to give rise female and male gametophyte respectively. Pteridophytes also consist of a true vascular system. General Characteristics of Pteridophytes Key Points | Easy Biology Class. Pteridophytes occupy the intermediate position between Bryophytes and Phanerogams (seed plants). This is the largest and highly evolved group of pteridophytes and is represented by about 9,000 species which show a … Four groups in the plant kingdom 1. Heterosporous condition was developed from Pteridophytes. Pteridophytes comes under the class of cryptogams as they do need produce seeds and flowers. Possess a cellulose cell wall3. Reference: 1. Pteridophytes are the first plants to acquire vascular tissue. Important Characteristic Features of Division Pteridophyta with Examples. The plant body of pteridophytes is differentiated into true stem, root, and leaves. The term Pteridophyte is derived from two words ‘Pteron’ meaning feather and ‘phyton’ meaning plant. The Pteropsida differs from other classes in possessing raised leaves (mega- phylls). they produce only one type of spores, e.g., Lycopodium, Equisetum etc. Below, we outline our general philosophy and approach, summarize our outcomes, and present a consensus classification for all pteridophytes, from the rank of class to that of genus. Plant classification 1. Article by VIJAYAGOPALA MENON. TheMorpholog)'of Pteridophytes BIOLOGICALSCIENCES PROFESSORH.MUNROFOX M.A.,F.R.S. they produce two types of spores (microspres and megaspore). Animal Classification, Phylogeny And Organization E. Kingdoms Of Life Plantae Pteridophytes PPT. They reproduce via spore formation. Some others are heterosporous, i.e. Pteridophytes are the first true land plants. They have sporophytic phase as the dominant phase of their life cycle. Vascular system Biological classifications are fundamentally tools for communication about biodiversity (e.g., Stuessy, 2009). Are multicellular 3. CONIFERS (gymnosperms) 4. Class: Pteropsida: This group of pteridophytes is commonly known as ‘ferns’. Philosophy. Gametophyte is a thalloid, called prothallus. The classification schemes set out in the papers listed in the following Reference button are the starting points for the classification discussions on this website. they have xylem and phloem. PTERIDOPHYTES (ferns) 3. Thus, Pteridophytes are the plants with Feather-like leaves. Contain chlorophyll and carry out photosynthesis2. The group pteridophyta, the 'wing plants', is a diverse bunch of related plants. Most pteridophytes are homosporous, i.e. EmeritusProfessorofZoologyintheUniversity ofLondon PLANT KINGDOM 2.
