Capsule Of Moss at Mary Cleary blog

Capsule Of Moss. The capsule opening ( peristome ) can have teeth that help hold it closed. A cap called the operculum tops the capsule's opening under the calyptra. Make a wet mount of a moss sporophyte or obtain a prepared slide of a mnium sporangium. This calyptra is haploid, as it originated from the female. These complex sporangia contain several different parts. Like the calyptra, the operculum and peristome of some moss species are highly identifiable. Mosses have a capsule, where the sporangia are housed. In this photograph you can see many brownish sporophytes (the stalked spore. Moss sporophytes have a complex set of structures at the top of a seta. Matured spores are released when the capsule top ruptures and drift off to form new plants. Nevertheless, the diploid sporophyte of mosses, the spore capsule, is a visible. When the sporophyte emerges from the archegonium, it tears off the venter and creates a sort of cap on the sporangium, called a calyptra. One of the most attractive moss structures is found in its capsule, if it produces one (not all species do). When the spores are ripe and ready to be released, the lid of the capsule falls off, but the release of spores is usually controlled by a fringe of flexible teeth around the capsule mouth. When the sporophyte emerges, it tears off a piece of the female gametophyte's archegonium, leaving a coating called the calyptra.
