MEIOSIS
The flowering plant is a multicellular diploid sporophyte.
The sporophyte encloses the multicellular haploid gametophyte.
The life history is thus sporic (diplohaplontic).
The gametes are oogamous but the sperm lack flagellae.
Gender expression has moved from gametophyte to sporophyte.
Flower Organization-building a flower from bottom up
A flower is a short shoot (stem with leaves)
The stem is represented by the receptacle with very short internodes
The leaves appear in four whorls
stigma
locule
ovule

Pollen Grain: Mitosis Makes Endosporic Microgametophyte
Pollen Wall: Microspore Wall (allergenic?)

The tube cell
digests a path from
the stigma to the
egg.

Pollination: vectorassisted movement of the
pollen grain from the
anther to the stigma.
The generative cell
follows the path to
the egg, and
divides to make
two sperm cells.
Both participate in
syngamy.
Pollen Tube Growth
The tube cell germinates through the pollen wall.
The cell grows chemotropically toward the egg.
The pollen tube must find the ovule’s micropyle.
The generative cell slides along this tube.
It divides by mitosis to form two sperm cells.

Megasporogenesis: taking place inside the ovule inside the ovary.

2 synergids
In Flowering Plants, syngamy is a double event:
syngamy#2:
sperm
nuclei
2 x 1N polar nuclei + 1N sperm
= 3N primary endosperm cell
no miracle-gro, no compost!
syngamy#1:
1N egg + 1N sperm = 2N zygote
synergids
disintegrating

In this slide, plasmogamy has
already occurred…but what part
of syngamy has not occurred yet?
karyogamy!
