Principle Parts of Flowers
• Reproductive organs are in structures called Flowers
• Many Flowers contain male and female parts - hermaphrodite

Male Organs ♂• Male Organs are the Stamen
– Each Stamen made up of a stalk – Filament– The filament bears the Anthers– The Anthers are lobed and contain 4 Pollen
Sacs where pollen is formed

♀ Female Organs
• The Female Organs are called Carpels
– Carpels consist of Stigma, receptive to pollen– A Style connecting the Stigma to the Ovary– In the ovary, one or more Ovules develop

Where are these organs?
• Male and female organs develop at the top of the flower stalk – receptacle
• Surrounding the organs you may get:– Sepals– Petals– Nectaries

Pollination & Fertilisation
![Page 15: Reproduction in Flowering Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814210550346895dae151c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Pollination
• Before fertilisation, mature pollen needs to be transferred to the receptive Stigma
– That is POLLINATION
![Page 16: Reproduction in Flowering Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814210550346895dae151c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Pollen Germination
• After pollination Stigma secretes sucrose solution stimulating pollen to germinate
• A pollen tube grows out of a pore in the pollen grain
• Rapidly penetrates the style tissue
• Pollen tube growth is controlled by tube nucleus – located at tip of the tube
![Page 17: Reproduction in Flowering Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814210550346895dae151c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Pollen Germination
• Secretes digestive enzymes to allow penetration
• Pollen tubes are:– Positively hydrotropic– Negatively aerotropic
– When approaching ovule it becomes positively chemotropic
to a substance produced by the micropyle
![Page 18: Reproduction in Flowering Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814210550346895dae151c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Fertilisation
• The tip of the pollen tube enters the ovule through the micropyle
• Comes into contact with the embryo sac
• Male nuclei are released through a pore in the pollen tube tip
![Page 20: Reproduction in Flowering Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814210550346895dae151c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Double Fertilisation• One male nucleus fuses with egg
nucleus to form diploid zygote– Gives rise to the embryo
• Other male nucleus fuses with the 2 polar nuclei (2n fusion/diploid nucleus) to make a triploid nucleus (3n) –primary endosperm nucleus– Gives rise to the endosperm nutritive tissue

Fertilisation
![Page 22: Reproduction in Flowering Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814210550346895dae151c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Candidates should be able to draw a diagram of a broad bean (internal and external)
and label; micropyle, testa, position of radicle, plumule, cotyledons.
![Page 23: Reproduction in Flowering Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814210550346895dae151c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Candidates should be able to describe the germination of the broad bean, includingthe uptake of water and mobilisation of food reserves.
![Page 24: Reproduction in Flowering Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814210550346895dae151c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mobilisation of food reserves during germination
• Food reserves in seeds are mainly _____
which is insoluble (why?)• The reserves must be broken down to
simpler soluble substances• They can then be transported to the
growing apex of the shoot (plumule) or root (radicle)
![Page 25: Reproduction in Flowering Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814210550346895dae151c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Firstly, water is taken up by the seed causing tissues to swell
• The seed coat (testa) ruptures as the radicle pushes through
• Amylase hydrolyses starch
Proteases hydrolyse proteins• During germination, the cotyledons stay
underground
the plumule is bent over (hook shaped) as it pushes through the soil, protecting the tip
