LAMINARIA

Laminaria is found along shores of seas. The majority of the species are lasting.

Vegetative structure

Plant body

The plant body is sporophyte. The sporophyte is separated into three sections: holdfast, stipe and cutting edge. The holdfast is an arrangement of forked root like branches (hapetra). The stipe is constantly unbranched it might be barrel shaped or straightened. Single edge is available at the ending summit of stipes. It is separated into number of fragments. Development of the sporophyte happens because of intercalary meristem. It is available at the point of stipe and sharp edge. Meristematic action expands the length of stipe consistently. In any case, the length of develop sharp edges rema;ns consistent. Cutting edges of most species persevere for cne year. They quit becoming late in the mid year and start to break down after the plant release its zoospores in the pre-winter.

Internal structure

The transverse segment of laminaria shows three areas. These are:

segment of thallus bearing sporangia

(an) Epidermis: Epidermis is made out of maybe a couple layers of little cubical cells. These cells contain numerous chromatophores.

(b) Cortex: It is made out of stretched cells. These cells indicate varieties in their sizes. The cells shaped before in the developing seasons are bigger. Those shaped toward the finish of the season are littler. The cortex of numerous species contains adhesive conduits.

(c) Pith or medulla: It comprises of smaller vertical unt.ranched fibers (hyphae). These fibers lie near each other in youthful stipe. Be that as it may, they lie separated in develop stipe. There are two sort of fibers:

Associating fibers: Certain cells fibers isolate corner to corner. It shapes beginning cells of the interfacing fibers. Interfacing fibers keep running over the medulla.

Trumpet fibers: Some fibers indicate little divisions.

They turn out to be long and wide close to the transverse divider. These are called tumpet hypae. Trumpet hyphae are like sifter containers of vascular plants. They bear various pores in their transverse dividers. These pores have cytoplasmic strands. The protoplast of abutting cells is associated with each other by these cytoplasmic strands. The mass of trumpet hypae likewise contains winding groups of cellulose thickenings. The capacity of trumpet hyphae is as yet obscure. It is recommended that they are worried with the conduction of material and support.

Reproduction

Asexual reproduction in sporophyte

Asexual reproduction happens by zoospore arrangement. Zoospores are delivered in glass molded unilocular sporangia. Numerous sporangia frame child. They are shaped in summer or pre-winter. Hair like cells paraphyses is available between sporangia. Sporangia and paraphyses are epidermal in starting point.

Development of zoospores: The core of sporangium partitions meiotically amid zoospore arrangement. At that point numerous mitotic divisions happen. Consequently 32-64 cores are shaped. Every core is encompassed by proplast and it at long last changed into biflagellate zoospore. The sporangial divider breaks and discharge zoospores. They swim for quite a while. They round up and discharge a divider. In this way developing life spore is shaped. It creates germ tube. Core and chromatophom moves into the zenith germ tube. A transverse septa remove the apical cell. The apical cell forms into a little filamentous gametaphyte.

Serial reproduction

Sexual reproduction is oogamous. Laminaria is a dioecious plant. Antiieridia are created on male gametophyte and oogonia are produced on female gametophyte.

Antiteridia: Male gametophyte creates maybe a couple celled exacting branches. Antheridia create on the tip of these branches. Antheridium is single celled. It is changed into single antherozoid. Antherozoid has horizontal flagella.

Oogonia: Oogonium is created on little twb or three celled female gametophyte. Oogonia might be terminal or intercalary. An oogonium is longer and thicker than different cells. Its protoplast changes ,nto egg. The develop egg stayed appended to the peak of oogonial divider.

Preparation: The antherozoid swims and joins with egg Fusion happens and zygote is shaped

Germination of zygote: The zygote forms into diploid sporophyte. Numerous divisions happen in zygote. It shapes 4 – 8 cells. It is as yet joined to the oogonial pinnacle. But lower most cells, every one of the cells partition to shape cutting edge like shield. The lowermost cells extend to shape first rhizoid. This rhizoid builds up a few expanded ihizoids.

The rhizoids grapple the plant on shake. After that female

gametophyte break down. Numerous divisions happen in cutting edge like shield. It (.:evelops numerous meristematic tissues. The upper segment of meristematic tissues creates edges. Its lower divide creates

Shift of era

Lam:riaria demonstrates heteromorphic rotation of era. It produces two eras sporophyte and gametophytes:

Sprophyte: It is diploid era. Its body has three sections: hold quick, stipe and sharp edge. It creates sporangia. The sporangia create spores by meiosis. Subsequently haploid zoospores are created. Zoospores sprout to shape male and female gametophytes.

Gametophyte: Gametophyte is haploid filamentous and tiny. Antheridia are delivered on male gametophyte. It produces haploid antherozoid. Oogonia create on female plant. It produces egg. Combination of antherozoid and egg deliver diploid zygote. The zygote forms into diploid sporophyte.
