SEXUAL REPRODUCTION IN PLANTS

Pollination

Pollen is transferred from a stamen to a stigma. The stamen is the male organ in a flowering plant and the stigma is the female part.

It is helpful to review the parts of flowering plants.

Growth of Pollen Tube

A pollen tube develops to carry the pollen downward.

Pollen travels from the stigma, down the style, and into the ovule of the plant.

Fertilization

The male gamete (pollen) unites with a female gamete (ovule) to form a seed. The seeds are the embryo of the plant.

Fruit Formation

The ovary ripens and forms a fruit. The fruit may contain a single seed or multiple seeds.

Seed Dispersal

The fruit is carried away from the parent plant by wind, animal or expulsion.

Germination

If the seed is embedded in the right kind of soil, it will germinate. A new plant grows out of the seed. A stem reaches upward, and roots go downward into the soil.
