Capsella bursa fruit l.s.
   Zygote is highly polarized (Raghavan, 1997)
    ◦ Due to its orientation
    ◦ Due to its ultrastructural profile
   First division event in the zygote occuring
    transversely to its long axis (Raghavan, 2006)
    forming the:
    ◦ Basal cell – large, vacuolated, directed towards the
      micropylar end; froms the suspensor
    ◦ Terminal cell – small, densely cytoplasmic, directed
      towards the chalazal end; becomes the embryo
Planes of division of the terminal
cell and subsequent contributions
of the basal cell to the formation
of the embryo have led to a frame-
work of classification of embryos
   Terminal cell undergoes longitudinal division
    ◦ Crucifer (or Onagrad) type
    ◦ Asterad type


   Terminal cell undergoes transverse division
    ◦ Solanad type
    ◦ Caryophyllad type
    ◦ Chenopodiad type

 The terminal cell divides longitudinally forming
  two cells which again divide longitudinally
  yielding a quadrant (4-celled).
 The quadrant divides transversely leading to the
  octant (8-celled).
 The basal cell divides first, prior to the
terminal cell, once or occasionally twice
transversely.
 The cell closest to the terminal cell, the
suspensor cell divides transversely forming
a filament of seven to nine cells
(Raghavan, 2006).

   The suspensor functions in the absorption
    and short-distance translocation and
    exchange of metabolites necessary for the
    growth of the embryo (Raghavan, 1997).
   May have haustoria.
   Three Stages of the Suspensor
    ◦ (a) Octant Embryo – 6-celled
    ◦ (b) Globular Stage Embryo – maximum nuber of
      cells attainede
    ◦ (c) Heart Stage Embryo – maximum length attained
      and it grows out its genetically permissible life span

   The octant embryo undergoes tangential division
    forming a 16-celled embryo.
   The 8 peripheral cells of the 16-celled
    proembryo become the protoderm and continue
    to divide anticlinally.
   The ground meristem and procambium are
    derived from the inner cells (the lower and upper
    tier respectively).
   The cortex is formed from the peripheral layer of
    cells of the inner core of 8.
   Procambium initiation starts at this stage as well
    and occurs in the cells of the cortex or pith of the
    globular embryo.
   The suspensor cell nearest the embryo
    divides transversely providing the
    hypophysis.
   The globular stage ends with an additional
    three rounds of division mostly by the inner
    core of cells.

   Lateral expansion of the distal poles of the
    proembryo provide a bilateral symmetry and
    forecast the imminent formation of the
    cotyledons.
   Vertical division occurs twice to the
    hypophyseal cells producing two layers of
    four cells each (Raghavan, 2006).
   The shoot apical meristem is organized in a
    depression between the growing cotyledons.
   Division and differentiation at the basal tier of
    the embryo give rise to the hypocotyl.

   Plants, with special respect to angiosperms,
    undergo different phases in its life cycle. One
    of which is embryogenesis, the formation of a
    multicellular embryo to a single-celled
    zygote. This process involves various stages
    in its development such as the globular,
    heart, torpedo, and maturation stages which
    are very critical to the growth of the plant.

  • 23. Elongation of the hypocotyl and the cotyledons give the embryo a torpedo shape.  Shoot apical meristem is fully established and appears as a mound or dome between the cotyledons.  Root apical meristem is established with the root apex having a delimitation signifying the progenitor of the embryonic radicle.  Primary meristems already visible

  • 28. Plants, with special respect to angiosperms, undergo different phases in its life cycle. One of which is embryogenesis, the formation of a multicellular embryo to a single-celled zygote. This process involves various stages in its development such as the globular, heart, torpedo, and maturation stages which are very critical to the growth of the plant.

Notas do Editor

  1. Development is a process in which an individual goes through certain changes in its form and function during its life in response to certain levels of control. In plants, this course starts with embryogenesis.
  2. Embryogenesis is the formation of a multicellular embryo from a single-celled zygote.Involves processes such as pattern formation and morphogenesis that are critical in the growth of the plant.
  3. The next “milestone” in the development of polarity
  4. The next “milestone” in the development of polarityAsymmetry is complemented by the subtle variations in the distribution of organelles and in the concentration of macromolecules
  5. Upper tier of cells – stem tip and cotyledonsLower tier of cells – derivatives to part of the cotyledon, hypocotyl and most of the RAMHypophysis – remainder of the RAM (qc) and the columellaThe suspensor has sired at least four or five cells (Mansfiel and Briarty, 1991; Jurgens and Mayer, 1994)
  6. Basal cell remains active after the collapse of the suspensor (Schulz &amp; Jensen, 1969)
  7. Core of 8-cells and a periphery made up of 8-cells.First evidence of histodifferentiation.The protoderm is cut off and becomes mre similar to the epidermis by the formation of a cuticle.The tangential divisions initiate the formation of a radial patterning seen as concentric layers at the basal part of the embryo.
  8. The difference of cells in the apex region.The upper cell of the hypophysis is lens shaped and just abuts the lower end of the globular embryo.The lower cells contacts laterally with the embryo epidermis and, at its basal end, with the uppermost suspensor cell.
  9. Change from radial to bilateral symmetry by entering a transient triangular stage or early heart-shaped stage.
  10. Accompanied by periclinal divisions of the adjacent cells for additional derivative for the shoot apex
