Caracteres diferenciales de las plantas

- Nivel celular: Eucariontes

- Metabolismo del oxígeno: Necesario
- Reproducción y desarrollo: Asexual. Sexual, con gametos y zigoto, y con esporas haploides (haplo-diploides)
- Tipo de vida: Pluricelulares con y sin tejidos. Inmóviles.
- Estructura y funciones: Con plasmodesmos. Con tejidos celulares variados. Pared celular con celulosa. Con movimiento intracelular. Se forman compuestos secundarios metabólicos: autocianos, flavionas.

Clasificación de las plantas

Las plantas son eucariotas que evolucionaron a partir de algas verdes del grupo Chlorophyta durante el Paleozoico, estas algas colonizaron las zonas emergidas, gracias a una serie de adaptaciones a la xerofilia que originaron el grupo de los Embriófitos. Los embriófitos presentan alternancia de generaciones heterofásica y heteromorfa, son plantas adaptadas a la vida terrestre con órganos apendiculares, también llamados cormobiontes.
- Protocormófitos o briófitos (división Bryophyta), musgos, licopodios y hepáticas. Los briófitos son pequeñas plantas confinadas a ambientes húmedos, además necesitan agua líquida para la fecundación. En el Silúrico aparecieron nuevas formas de embriófitos, con mejores adaptaciones a la xericidad, lo que les permitió la conquista de amplios espacios. Esta mejora permitió una radiación masiva en el Devónico lo que les hizo dominar el paisaje. Este grupo presenta, típicamente, cutículas resistentes a la desecación y tejidos vasculares, que transportan el agua a través del organismo, lo que da origen al termino plantas vasculares. El esporófito funciona como un individuo separado.
- Cormófitos o plantas vasculares.
- Pteridófitos (división Pteridophyta). Las plantas vasculares incluyen, como subgrupo, a los espermatófitos o plantas con semillas, que se diversificaron al final del Paleozoico. En estos organismos el gametófito está completamente reducido y el esporófito comienza su vida confinado en una estructura especial: la semilla.
- Plantas con semillas.
- Espermatófitos (división Spermatophyta). ::Progimnospermas (subdivisión Progimnospermophytina). ::Cicadofitinos (subdivisión Cycadice, Cycadophytina es un sinónimo) o gimnospermas de hoja pinnada. ::Coniferofitinos (subdivisión Pinicae, Coniferophytina es un sinónimo) o gimnospermas de hoja dicótoma. ::Gnetofitinos (subdivisión Gneticae, Gnetophytina es un sinónimo). ::Angiospermas (subdivisión Magnoliophytina). Estos grupos también se denominan Gimnospermas, excepto las plantas con flores, que se denominan Angiospermas. Éste, es el grupo más numeroso de plantas, aparecieron durante el Jurásico y han llegado a ser completamente dominantes. ---- Árbol filogenético: ,____________________________________________ Ulvophyceae ,___| | |___________________________________________ Chlorophyeae | __|_________________________________________ Micromonadophyceae | | ,_______________________________________________ Charales |___| | ,_____________________________________ Coleochaetales | | |___| ,____________________________________ Hepatophyta | | | |_________________________________ Anthocerophyta |___| | ,__________________________________ Bryophyta | | |___| ,_________________________ Rhynophyta (†) | | | | ,_________ Zosterophyllophyta (†) |___| | | ,___| ,___________________ Lycopoda | | | | | | |___| ,________ Selaginellaceae | | |___| | | |______________ Isoetales |___| | ,_______________ Trimerophyta (†) | | | |_____________________ Psilophyta | | | |____________________ Sphenophyta |___| |_____________________ Pterophyta | | ,________ Progimnospermas (†) | | | | ,____________ Cycadophyta |___| | | |____________ Ginkgophyta | | |___|______________ Pinophyta | | ,_Cycadeoidophyta (†) | | |___|_________ Gnetophyta | |_______ Angiospermae (†): Grupo extinto.

Crecimiento

Las plantas con flor suelen ser anuales. También existe otro tipo de plantas anuales como, por ejemplo:
- Centeno (Secale cereale)
- Mijo (Panicum miliaceum)
- Trigo (Triticum aestivum) Hay plantas de crecimiento bienal, necesitan dos años para completar su ciclo vital. Son de este tipo:
- Acelgas (Beta vulgaris)
- Rábanos (Raphanus sativus)
- Zanahorias (Daucus carota) Existen plantas que viven más de dos años y, a diferencia de las anuales y las bienales, florecen durante bastantes años. Se encuentran en este grupo: árboles, arbustos, matas, lianas y muchas hierbas. Ejemplos de ello son:
- Abeto (Abies alba)
- Encina (Quercus ilex)
- Melisa (Melissa officinalis)
- Romero (Rosmarinus officinalis)
