 Lesson
Cone-Bearing Plants
1
What I need to know

Objective/s:
Distinguish how spore-bearing and cone-bearing plants
reproduce.

What’s New

Content Input

In this lesson, pupils will learn how to distinguish the reproduction of

spore and cone-bearing plants. It is a great skill to be able to differentiate, so
instead of having to buy them from a nursery (saving you cash), you can
make lots of new plants for your garden. It is also good to propagate plants
and send them as gifts to friends and relatives. Plant propagation also gives
you great satisfaction in realizing that you have played a role in the
development of these plants, which is possibly one of the gardening aspects
that is most satisfying. It is difficult to locate many special plants.

 What Is It

Cone-Bearing
Plants
(Gymnosperms)
Cone-bearing plants are woody, non-flowering plants that have true
roots, leaves, and stems. They produce seeds held in seed scales arranged
in cones. Their leaves look like needle-like and scale-like green leaves, which
are adapted to a dry environment to conserve water. They do not bear
flowers and fruits.
Baguio City is known as the City of Pines. Conifers are mostly found
in Baguio City. Examples of this group of plants are pines spruces, cycads,
ginkgos, and fir trees (used as Christmas tree). Conifers are gymnosperms.
These plants produce seeds in cones. Their seeds are “naked seeds;” they
are not covered with fruits. Most conifers are trees and shrubs with leaves
like needles.
In cones, the reproductive system of conifers develops. Many conifers,
on separate branches of the same tree or shrub, have male and female
cones. Two kinds of cones are conifers-pollen cone and seed cone.
A pollen cone is a male cone that makes pollen grains. The pollen
spreads through the air. The seed cone is a female cone that produces an
egg cell. When conifer pollen grains land near the opening of an ovule, it can
be trapped in a sticky substance called pollen drop. When this happens,
pollination occurs. Pollen grains stick to the seed cones. A tube grows from
the pollen grains into egg cells and fertilizes the egg, and later form a zygote.
The zygote undergoes cell division that results in the formation of an embryo
with one or more cotyledons. As the embryo develops, the outside layer of the
ovule forms a seed coat. The production of seeds can
take as long as three years. When seed matures, the female cone opens and
releases them. A seed that lands in a place with enough water, soil, and
sunlight can grow into a new plant. This new plant will grow into a mature
conifer and produces more seeds. Seeds of the conifers have wing-like parts.
The wind can carry such seeds a long way. These plants serve as wildlife
food and shelter; help prevent soil erosion; used for lumber/paper industry;
fence posts, musical instruments, pencils, lawn furniture, and used to build
boats.
