Term
alternation of generations
Definition
haploid and diploid generations take turns in producing each other
Term
sporophyte
Definition
diploid plant that produces haploid spres by meiosis
Term
gametophyte
Definition
haploid sperm and eggs
Term
order of modified leaves from outside to inside
Definition
sepals petals stamens carpels
Term
complete clower
Definition
have sepals petals stamens carpels
Term
incomplete flowers
Definition
lack on or more of the four modiefied leaves
Term
perfect flower
Definition
have stamens and carpels
Term
monoeicious
Definition
stamen and carpel are on same plant
Term
dioecious
Definition
stamens and carpels on different plants
Term
microspores
Definition
form when microsporocytes go through meiosis. produces fenerative cell and tube cell.
Term
kegaspore
Definition
prodeced when megasporocute goes through meiosis. only one of the four produced survives.
Term
embryo sac
Definition
megaspore mass with eight haploid nuclei. the female gametophyte
Term
pollination
Definition
pollen goes on the stigma of the carpel
Term
self incompatible flowers
Definition
pollen grain from an anther lands on stigma of a flower on the same plant, biochemical block prevents fertilization
Term
endosperm
Definition
food storing tissue
Term
double fertilization
Definition
union of two sperm cells with different cell of the embryo sac.
one sperm fertilizes egg to form zygote. other sperm combines with two poalr nuclei to form a triploid nucleus in the center of hte large central cell fo the embryo sac.
Term
seed coat
Definition
encloses embryo and food supply
Term
hypocotyl
Definition
embryonic axis below the pt where cotyledons are attached
Term
radicle
Definition
embryonic root
Term
epicotyl
Definition
embryonic axis above the cotyledons
Term
scutellum
Definition
specialized cotyledon in monocot seed.
absorbs nutrients during fertilization
Term
colerhiza
Definition
sheath enclosing grass embryo
covers root and coleoptile
Term
coleoptile
Definition
cloaks embryo shoot
Term
fruit
Definition
ovary
Term
pericarp
Definition
thickened wall of fruit
Term
simple fruit
Definition
derived form single ovary
Term
agreggate fruite
Definition
results of singe flower that has several carpels.
ex: blackberry
Term
multiple fruit
Definition
developes form an inflorescence
group of flowers tightly clustered together
ex: pineapple
Term
imbibition
Definition
absorption of water due to low water potentail of dry seed
Term
fragmentation
Definition
seperation fo parent plant into parts that reform whole plants
most common mode of vegetative reproduction
Term
apiximis
Definition
produce seeds without fertilized flowers
Term
callus
Definition
undifferentated dividing cells at the cut end of a shoot
Term
stock
Definition
plant tha provides the rood system
Term
scion
Definition
twig grafted onto stock
Term
monoculture
Definition
cultivation of of large areas of land with a single plant
Term
protoplast fusuin
Definition
being coupled with tissue culture nethods to actually invert new plant varieties that can be cloned
Term
cellular differentiation

aquisition of cell's specific structure
Term
morphogenesis
Definition
develipment of form
Term
preprophase band
Definition
ring of microtubles in the cell cortex
Term
pattern formation
Definition
development of specific structures in specific locations
Term
positional formation
Definition
signals that indicate each cell's location within an embryonic structure
Term
meristem identity genes
Definition
helps with the transition from vegetative growht to flowering
