Evolution of sporophyte in bryotphytes
Evolution of sporophyte in bryotphytesSangeeta DasThe document discusses the evolution of sporophytes in bryophytes, detailing two contrasting theories: progressive evolution, which suggests that complex sporophytes evolved from the sterilization of simpler forms, and regressive evolution, which proposes that the simplest forms are more advanced due to a reduction of complexity. It outlines various stages of sporophyte development from simplest forms like Riccia to complex structures found in species such as Funaria and Polytrichum. The text emphasizes that the evolutionary trends in bryophyte sporophytes involve transformations in both the fertilization and sterilization of tissues.
APOGAMY & APOSPORY.pptx
APOGAMY & APOSPORY.pptxPravinKorePkThis document discusses apogamy and apospory in plants. It defines apogamy as asexual reproduction in ferns where a haploid gametophyte develops into a haploid sporophyte without gamete fusion. Apospory is defined as the development of a diploid gametophyte from the vegetative cells of a diploid sporophyte, without meiosis or spore formation. The key difference between the two is that apogamy produces a haploid embryo while apospory produces a diploid embryo. Causes of each include environmental stresses that prevent normal sexual reproduction. Similarities include that both are asexual reproductive processes that occur in bryophytes and involve alternation of generations

Shoot and root apical meristemSmart KarthiThe document discusses the shoot apical meristem, which generates the aerial organs of plants. It has three layers (L1, L2, L3) that contribute to stem and organ formation. The meristem also contains zones - a central zone of stem cells, a peripheral zone where leaves form, and a rib zone that forms the stem. The meristem maintains a population of stem cells and generates organs through coordinated cell division and differentiation.
Morphological, anatomical and reproductive characters of Marchantia
Morphological, anatomical and reproductive characters of MarchantiaSankritaShankarGaonkThis document provides an overview of the morphology, anatomy, and reproduction of Marchantia. It describes key characteristics of the Marchantia gametophyte including its thallus structure, rhizoids, gemma cups, and sex organs. The anatomy includes details on the epidermis, air chambers, photosynthetic and storage regions. Reproduction occurs vegetatively through thallus decay/gemmae or sexually with antheridiophores and archegoniophores on separate plants. Archegonium structure and the sporophyte regions of foot, seta, and capsule are also summarized along with references.
Microsporogenesis
MicrosporogenesisANJALY JOHNSON KMicrosporogenesis involves the formation of pollen grains in the anthers. It begins with the formation of archesporial cells that develop into primary sporogenous cells. These cells undergo mitosis and differentiate into microspore mother cells. The microspore mother cells undergo meiosis to form microspores still connected in tetrads. The tetrads separate into individual microspores which are released from the anther as mature pollen grains. Key tissues involved include the sporogenous tissue, tapetum, and anther wall layers.
Telome theroy
Telome theroygohil sanjay bhagvanjiThis document summarizes the Telome Theory, which proposes that all vascular plants evolved from a simple leafless ancestral plant called Rhynia. The theory describes how evolutionary processes like overtopping, reduction, planation, syngenesis, and curvation acted on the telomes (terminal branches) of this ancestor to produce the diversity of plant forms seen today. It provides details on these processes and how they led to the formation of leaves, stems, and other structures. While pioneering, the theory is criticized for not fully explaining the origin of microphyllous leaves in lycophytes and for lacking evidence in its application to some plant groups.

Basics of developmental biology 1
Basics of developmental biology 1drammarmehdiThis document provides an overview of key concepts in developmental biology. It discusses induction, in which one cell or tissue signals another to influence developmental fate. Competence is the ability of a cell to respond to inductive signals through expression of receptors. Commitment is when a cell decides its fate, either through inductive signals or cytoplasmic determinants distributing asymmetrically. Specification is a reversible commitment, while determination is irreversible. Differentiation allows cells to become specialized through protein synthesis. Morphogenesis involves a cell gaining shape. Autonomous and conditional specification are strategies where cells determine fate independently or through interactions, respectively.

Heterospory and seed habit by Subham saha
Heterospory and seed habit by Subham sahaNarayanSarkar6Heterospory and seed habit in pteridophytes. Heterospory involves the production of two different types of spores - microspores and megaspores. This is considered a prerequisite for seed formation. While most pteridophytes are homosporous, some like Selaginella are heterosporous. Heterospory is thought to have originated from nutritional factors causing degeneration of some spores, leading to sex differentiation. In heterosporous plants, megaspores form female gametophytes within megasporangia while microspores form male gametophytes, representing sex differentiation. Selaginella exhibits features approaching seed habit like retention of meg

Colony hybridization technique
Colony hybridization technique ShreyaBhatt23Colony hybridization is a technique used to identify bacterial colonies containing a specific gene. It involves transferring bacterial colonies from a master plate onto a nitrocellulose filter to create replicas. The filter is then treated to lyse the bacterial cells and denature the DNA. A radioactive probe is used to hybridize to the target DNA sequence, and autoradiography identifies colonies containing the gene of interest. Colony hybridization allows efficient screening of bacterial colonies to isolate a specific DNA sequence.
Introduction to Cryo and Organogenesis differentiation
Introduction to Cryo and Organogenesis differentiation St. Bedes College , ShimlaCryopreservation is the process of preserving living cells and tissues at very low temperatures, typically in liquid nitrogen at -196°C. It works by slowing metabolism to a halt, preventing biological deterioration. Successful cryopreservation requires preventing ice crystal formation inside cells through cryoprotectants and controlling the freezing and thawing process. Organogenesis is the formation of plant organs directly from explants or indirectly through a callus phase, guided by growth regulators like auxins and cytokinins. It involves dedifferentiation of explant cells into a callus through rapid cell division, followed by redifferentiation forming organ primordia.

Heterokaryosis and Parasexuality
Heterokaryosis and ParasexualityVinod UpadhyayHeterokaryosis is the co-existence of genetically different nuclei in a common cytoplasm. It plays a major role in variability and sexuality in fungi. Heterokaryosis can arise through mutation, anastomosis (fusion of hyphae), or inclusion of dissimilar nuclei in spores after meiosis in heterothallic fungi. Parasexuality is a form of genetic recombination in fungi achieved through mitotic crossing over and haploidization without meiosis. The parasexual cycle involves the establishment of heterokaryosis, formation of heterozygous diploids through nuclear fusion, occasional mitotic crossing over during diploid multiplication, and eventual haploidization through aneuploidy. This process

Marchantia ppt
Marchantia pptsumitachoudharyThis document summarizes the plant Marchantia. It belongs to the division Bryophyta, class Hepaticopsida, order Marchantiales, and family Marchantiaceae. The genus Marchantia has about 65 species found worldwide, including 11 species in India. It reproduces sexually through antheridia and archegonia borne on special stalked branches, and asexually through gemmae. Fertilization leads to a sporophyte generation that produces spores which develop into a new gametophyte, completing the life cycle of alternation of generations. Key structures include the dorsal gemma cups and ventral rhizoids, and the dorsiventral thallus bears the reproductive organs in
Female gametophyte
Female gametophyteMansi PrajapatiGametophytes are haploid multicellular stages in the life cycles of plants and algae, crucial for sexual reproduction. The female gametophyte, or embryo sac, typically develops in angiosperms as a seven-celled structure that includes one egg cell and two synergids among other cell types. Megagametogenesis describes the process of forming the embryo sac from a megaspore through mitosis and cell differentiation, leading to various types of embryo sacs based on the number of spores involved.
Bacterial two component
Bacterial two componentsobhy salamaThe two-component system in bacteria uses a signaling system to transfer signals from the environment into the cytoplasm. It consists of a sensor kinase that detects chemical or physical signals and becomes autophosphorylated. The phosphoryl group is then transferred to a cognate response regulator, changing its properties and allowing it to regulate gene transcription or protein interactions in response to the original signal. Most bacterial two-component systems involve a membrane-bound sensor histidine kinase that detects signals and a response regulator that controls transcription.
Evolution of the male gametophytes of gymnosperms

It begins by describing the differences between the male gametophytes of modern gymnosperms compared to homosporous pteridophytes. The male gametophyte is an outcome of pollen grain germination. It then discusses how the male gametophyte has become extremely reduced compared to bryophytes and pteridophytes. The document examines the structures of male gametophytes in fossil gymnosperms like cycadofilicales and cordaitales, which showed multicellular nature. It concludes that there has been a gradual reduction in size and content of the male gametophyte over time
Chloroplast dna
Chloroplast dnavaishalidandge31. Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) is circular DNA located in chloroplasts that contains genes essential for photosynthesis. These genes are inherited extra-nuclearly and do not follow Mendelian patterns of inheritance.
2. In 1909, Correns discovered that four o'clock plant leaf color was inherited maternally through the chloroplast rather than through nuclear genes. This was an early example of non-Mendelian cytoplasmic inheritance.
3. Chloroplast genes code for proteins involved in photosynthesis, though nuclear genes are also required. Mutations in chloroplast genes often result in white or yellow leaves due to disrupted chlorophyll production.
