Introduction
• Vegetative reproduction is a type of asexual reproduction that results in new plant
individuals without seed or spore production.
• Vegetative reproduction is also utilized by horticulturists to ensure production of
large quantities of valuable plants.
• Plants have flowers that produce seeds through sexual reproduction; seeds are
dispersed to increase propagation of the next generation.
• Seeds are often dispersed by animals via ingestion of the fruits, which surround
the seeds, promoting seed dispersal.

Plant Reproduction > Reproductive Development and Structure
Sexual Reproduction in Angiosperms
• A typical flower has four main parts, or whorls: the calyx (sepals), corolla (petals),
androecium (male reproductive structure), and gynoecium (female reproductive
structure).
• Angiosperms that contain both male and female gametophytes within the same
flower are called complete and are considered to be androgynous or
hermaphroditic.
• Angiosperms that contain only male or only female gametophytes are considered
to be incomplete and are either staminate (contain only male structures) or
carpellate (contain only female structures) flowers.
• Microspores develop in the microsporangium and form mature pollen grains (male

gametophytes), which are then used to fertilize female gametophytes.
• During megasporogenesis, four megaspores are produced with one surviving;
during megagametogenesism, the surviving megaspore undergoes mitosis to
form an embryo sac (female gametophyte).
• The sperm, guided by the synergid cells, migrates to the ovary to complete
fertilization; the diploid zygote develops into the embryo, while the fertilized ovule
forms the other tissues of the seed.

Plant Reproduction > Reproductive Development and Structure
Sexual Reproduction in Gymnosperms
• In gymnosperms, the cones contain a leafy green sporophyte and male and
female gametophytes in the cones; female cones are bigger than male cones and
are located higher up in the tree.
• A male cone contains microsporophylls where male gametophytes (pollen) are
produced and are later carried by wind to female gametophytes.
• The megaspore mother cell in the female cone divides by meiosis to produce four
haploid megaspores; one of the megaspores divides to form the female
gametophyte.
• The male gametophyte lands on the female cone, forming a pollen tube through
which the generative cell travels to meet the female gametophyte.
Conifer life cycle
View on Boundless.com
• One of the two sperm cells released by the generative cell fuses with the egg,
forming a diploid zygote that divides to form the embryo.
• Unlike angiosperms, ovaries are absent in gymnosperms, double fertilization does
not take place, male and female gametophytes are present on cones rather than
flowers, and wind (not animals) drives pollination.

Plant Reproduction > Pollination and Fertilization
Introduction
• Pollination, the transfer of pollen from flower-to-flower in angiosperms or cone-tocone in gymnosperms, takes place through self-pollination or cross-pollination.
• Cross-pollination is the most advantageous of the two types of pollination since it
provides species with greater genetic diversity.
• Maturation of pollen and ovaries at different times and heterostyly are methods
plants have developed to avoid self-pollination.
• The placement of male and female flowers on separate plants or different parts of
the plant are also barriers to self-pollination.

Plant Reproduction > Pollination and Fertilization
Pollination by Insects
• Adaptations such as bright colors, strong fragrances, special shapes, and nectar
guides are used to attract suitable pollinators.
• Important insect pollinators include bees, flies, wasps, butterflies, and moths.
• Bees and butterflies are attracted to brightly-colored flowers that have a strong
scent and are open during the day, whereas moths are attracted to white flowers
that are open at night.
• Flies are attracted to dull brown and purple flowers that have an odor of decaying
meat.
• Nectar guides, which are only visible to certain insects, facilitate pollination by
guiding bees to the pollen at the center of flowers.
Pollination by insects
View on Boundless.com
• Insects and flowers both benefit from their specialized symbiotic relationships;
plants are pollinated while insects obtain valuable sources of food.

Plant Reproduction > Pollination and Fertilization
Pollination by Bats, Birds, Wind, and Water
• Flowers that are pollinated by bats bloom at night, tending to be large, widemouthed, and pale-colored; they may also give off strong scents.
• Flowers that are pollinated by small birds usually have curved, tubular shapes;
birds carry the pollen off on their heads and neck to the next flower they visit.
• Wind-pollinated flowers do not produce scents or nectar; instead, they tend to
have small or no petals and to produce large amounts of lightweight pollen.
• Some species of flowers release pollen that can float on water; pollination occurs
when the pollen reaches another plant of the same species.
• Some flowers deceive pollinators through food or sexual deception; the pollinators
become attracted to the flowers with false promises of food and mating

Plant Reproduction > Pollination and Fertilization
Double Fertilization
• Double fertilization involves two sperm cells; one fertilizes the egg cell to form the
zygote, while the other fuses with the two polar nuclei that form the endosperm.
• After fertilization, the fertilized ovule forms the seed while the tissues of the ovary
become the fruit.
• In the first stage of embryonic development, the zygote divides to form two cells;
one will develop into a suspensor, while the other gives rise to a proembryo.
• In the second stage of embryonic development (in eudicots), the developing
embryo has a heart shape due to the presence of cotyledons.
• As the embryo grows, it begins to bend as it fills the seed; at this point, the seed
is ready for dispersal.

Plant Reproduction > Pollination and Fertilization
Development of the Seed
• In angiosperms, the process of seed production begins with double fertilization
while in gymnosperms it does not.
• In both monocots and dicots, food reserves are stored in the endosperm;
however, in non-endospermic dicots, the cotyledons act as the storage.
• In a seed, the embryo consists of three main parts: the plumule, the radicle, and
the hypocotyl.
• In dicots, the hypocotyls extend above ground, giving rise to the stem of the plant,
while in monocots, they remain below ground.
• In dicot seeds, the radicle grows downwards to form the tap root while lateral
roots branch off to all sides, producing a dicot tap root system; in contrast, the
Monocots and dicots

end of germination in monocot seeds is marked by the production of a fibrous root
system where adventitious roots emerge from the stem.
• Seed germination is dependent on seed size and whether or not favorable
conditions are present.

Plant Reproduction > Pollination and Fertilization
Development of Fruit and Fruit Types
• Fruits can be classified as simple, aggregate, multiple, or accessory.
• Simple fruits develop from a single carpel or fused carpels of a single ovary, while
aggregate fruits develop from more than one carpel found on the same flower.
• Multiple fruits develop from a cluster of flowers, while accessory fruits do not
develop from an ovary, but from other parts of a plant.
• The main parts of a fruit include the exocarp (skin), the mesocarp (middle part),
and the endocarp (inner part); these three parts make up the pericarp.
• Dehiscent fruits promptly release their seeds, while indehiscent fruits rely on
decay to release their seeds.

Plant Reproduction > Pollination and Fertilization
Fruit and Seed Dispersal
• The means by which seeds are dispersed depend on a seed's structure,
composition, and size.
• Seeds dispersed by water are found in light and buoyant fruits, while those
dispersed by wind may have specialized wing-like appendages.
• Animals can disperse seeds by excreting or burying them; other fruits have
structures, such as hooks, that attach themselves to animals' fur.
• Humans also play a role as dispersers by moving fruit to new places and
discarding the inedible portions containing the seeds.
• Some seeds have the ability to remain dormant and germinate when favorable
conditions arise.

Plant Reproduction > Asexual Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction
• Asexual reproduction produces individuals that are genetically identical to the
parent plant.
• Roots such as corms, stem tubers, rhizomes, and stolon undergo vegetative
reproduction.
• Some plants can produce seeds without fertilization via apomixis where the ovule
or ovary gives rise to new seeds.
• Advantages of asexual reproduction include an increased rate of maturity and a
sturdier adult plant.
• Asexual reproduction can take place by natural or artificial means.

Plant Reproduction > Asexual Reproduction
Natural and Artificial Methods of Asexual Reproduction
• In natural asexual reproduction, roots can give rise to new plants, or plants can
propagate using budding or cutting.
• In grafting, part of a plant is attached to the root system of another plant; the two
unite to form a new plant containing the roots of one and the stem and leaf
structure of the other.
• Cutting is the process in which the stem of a plant is placed in moist soil or water
to generate a new root system.
• In layering, part of the plant's stem is bent down and covered with soil; this stem
can generate a new root system and, therefore, an entirely new plant.
• Micropropagation is the process in which part of a plant is placed in plant culture

medium and provided with all the hormones and nutrients it needs in order to
generate new plants.
• When part of a plant is placed in plant culture medium and provided with all the
hormones and nutrients it needs, it can generate new plants; this is known as
micropropagation.

Plant Life Spans
• The life span of a plant is the length of time it takes from the beginning of
development until death, while the life cycle is the series of stages between the
germination of the seed until the plant produces its own seeds.
• Annuals complete their life cycle in one season; biennials complete their life cycle
in two seasons; and perennials complete their life cycle in more than two
seasons.
• Monocarpic plants flower only once in their lifetime, while polycarpic plants flower
more than once.
• Plant survival depends on changing environmental conditions, drought, cold, and

• Senescence refers to aging of the plant, during which components of the plant
cells are broken down and used to support the growth of other plant tissues.

Types of fruit
There are four main types of fruits.Simple fruits, such as these nuts, are derived from a single ovary.Aggregate fruits, like raspberries, form from many
carpels that fuse together.Multiple fruits, such as pineapple, form from a cluster of flowers called an inflorescence.Accessory fruits, like apples, are
formed from a part of the plant other than the ovary.

Roots
Different types of stems allow for asexual reproduction.(a) The corm of a garlic plant looks similar to (b) a tulip bulb, but the corm is solid tissue, while the
bulb consists of layers of modified leaves that surround an underground stem.Both corms and bulbs can self-propagate, giving rise to new plants.(c)
Ginger forms masses of stems called rhizomes that can give rise to multiple plants.(d) Potato plants form fleshy stem tubers.Each eye in the stem tuber
can give rise to a new plant.(e) Strawberry plants form stolons: stems that grow at the soil surface or just below ground and can give rise to new plants
