| | Vascular plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Vascular plants include the ferns, clubmosses, horsetails, flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms. | | | Vascular plants have water-carrying tissues, enabling the plants to evolve to a larger size. | | | Non-vascular plants lack these and are restricted to relatively small sizes. |

| | Introduction to the spore-bearing vascular plants by Melinda Talley, 1997. | | | Assuming most plants share a single common ancestry, all of the seed plants including all of the Conifers (and other "Gymnosperms") and all of the flowering plants or Angiosperms are also vascular plants. | | | All of the plants we will study are vascular plants. |

| | Biological Diversity 5 |
| | Plants have an alternation of generations: the diploid spore-producing plant (sporophyte) alternates with the haploid gamete-producing plant (gametophyte). | | | Vascular plants tend to be larger and more complex than bryophytes, and have a life cycle where the sporophyte is more prominent than the gametophyte. | | | Vascular plants are the more common plants like pines, ferns, corn, and oaks. |

| | Vascular Plants |
| | Heterospory is unique to vascular plants; two different spores form egg-producing gametophytes and sperm-producing gametophytes. | | | Vascular plants have also developed a waxy outer covering called the cuticle which protects from desiccation due to water loss. | | | Unlike most nonvascular plants, vascular plants have a dominant, conspicuous sporophytic generation which is nutritionally independent. |

| | These are fairly simple plants that do produce a number of differentiated cell types and whose fertilized egg develops into a distinct embryo. | | | Although most conifers are evergreen, their leaves are modified as "needles", and these reduce snow load and transpiration during the winter in the harsh high-latitude climates where conifers are the dominant species of plants. | | | The seed ferns, as these plants are called, were among the earliest gymnosperms. |

The plants in this group have true xylem and phloem which makes them vascular by anyone's definition. | | | These are called microphylls because they have just a single vascular bundle running along their length. |

| | Vascular Plant Introdution |
| | A plant which is homosporous can produce either one kind of spore, which grows into a gametophyte which contains both male and female reproductive structures (the antheridium and archegonium, respectively) or a homosporous plant can produce two types of spores (but still within one sporangium). | | | Other plants produce two different sporangia, megasporangia and microsporangia and are heterosporous. | | | Heterosporous plants always have separate sporangia, and the microsporangia produce only microspores which grow into male gametophytes, producing only antheridia. |
