Plant reproduction

Plants have various reproductive methods, divided into non-flowering and flowering categories. Non-flowering plants, such as ferns, reproduce through spores. Flowering plants undergo sexual reproduction, producing seeds via pollination, where pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma by wind or animals.

germination

conditions for germination

warmth

air

Germination is a process whereby seeds grow into new plants under favourable conditions.

From seed to seedling is called germination

seed dispersal

Seed dispersal is the scattering of seeds or fruits.It increases the chances of survival.

gravity

large,round and heavy fruits drop straight off the tree onto the ground when they are ripe

durian fruits

Durian

splitting

fruits split open, but without an explosive action

E.G.african tulip and kapok fruits

African tulip

fruits split open with explosive action

E.G.rubber and balsam fruits

Rubber fruits

animals

seeds with clinging hooks or spines that stick onto the fur or feathers of animals and clothes or bags of humans

mimosa and lovegrass seeds

Mimosa seeds

seeds with attractive, fleshy and juicy fruits scattered by humans animals

guavas and raspberrieshave small,hard seeds that are swallowed and passed out in droppings

Guavas

durians and mangoes have big, hard and inedible seeds that will be thrown away after the flesh is eaten

Mangoes

water

Fruits and seeds that have woody, waterproof coverings that help them float

E.G.coconut and pong pong fruit

Coconut fruits

seeds are light and can float, some may have fluff that enhances buoyancy

E.G.willow and foxglove seeds

Foxglove seeds

wind

seeds that are released from their pods by the wind

poppy and evening primrose seeds need the wind to bend thier stalks to allow the seeds to fall out from thier pods

Evening primrose seeds

fruits have wing-like structures

E.G.angsana and shorea fruits

Shorea fruits

seeds that drift in the wind

daisy seeds have a flat disk of fine hair to produce a parachute

seeds that can fly or glide

feathery tails

Pulsatilla seeds

Pulsitilla

Subtopic

thin wings

E.G.alsomitra and Tecoma seeds

Tecoma seeds

stiff wings

E.G.lime and sycamore seeds

Lime seeds

fertilization

Fertilisation occurs when the pollen grain enters the ovary and fuses with an ovule to form a fertilised egg.Upon fertilization,the ovules inside the ovary develop into seeds and the ovary develops into a fruit.

pollination

Pollen grains are transferred from the anther to the stigma by wind or by animals

self-pollination

cross-pollination

parts of a flower

non-reproductive parts

sepals

petals

reproductive parts

pistil

female

ovule

contains the egg nuceus;undevelop seed with a tiny egg inside

ovary

contains one or more ovules;develops into a fruit which protects the seeds inside

style

connects the stigma to the ovary

stigma

tip that recieve pollen grains

stamen

male

filament

a support to the anther

anther

contains one or more pollen sacs that produce pollen grains
