• Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a flower
• Two types of pollination:
1. Self - pollination
2. Cross – pollination
Process of PollinationProcess of Pollination• The pollen is carried from the
anther to the stigma of the same plant (self) or another plant (cross) by the agents of pollination
• This process is called pollination

IntroductionIntroduction In reproduction, flowers play an important In reproduction, flowers play an important
role. They are the reproductive organs of role. They are the reproductive organs of plants. Flowers develop into fruits. The fruits plants. Flowers develop into fruits. The fruits protect and help to disperse the seeds.protect and help to disperse the seeds.
Flowers help in reproduction of plants by Flowers help in reproduction of plants by forming fruits. The male and female parts of forming fruits. The male and female parts of a flower contain male and female gametes a flower contain male and female gametes respectively that fuse to form seed. This respectively that fuse to form seed. This process takes place inside the ovary, which process takes place inside the ovary, which matures to form fruit.matures to form fruit.
PollinationPollination Pollen must fertilize an ovule to produce a Pollen must fertilize an ovule to produce a
viable seed. This process is called viable seed. This process is called pollinationpollination, and is often aided by animals , and is often aided by animals like bees, birds etc, which fly from flower to like bees, birds etc, which fly from flower to flower collecting sweet nectar and in the flower collecting sweet nectar and in the process, they transfer pollen around, process, they transfer pollen around, depositing it on some stigmas on a depositing it on some stigmas on a subsequent flower. After a male's pollen subsequent flower. After a male's pollen grains have landed on the stigma, pollen grains have landed on the stigma, pollen tubes develop within the style, burrowing tubes develop within the style, burrowing down to the ovary, where the sperm fertilizes down to the ovary, where the sperm fertilizes an egg cell in the ovule. After fertilization, an egg cell in the ovule. After fertilization, the ovule develops into a seed in the ovarythe ovule develops into a seed in the ovary..
FertilizationFertilization When a pollen grain lands on a stigma it When a pollen grain lands on a stigma it
becomes hydrated and soon germinate. It becomes hydrated and soon germinate. It produces a passage called a pollen tube. produces a passage called a pollen tube. At the tip of the pollen tube is a male cell. At the tip of the pollen tube is a male cell. Once the pollen tube reaches the ovary, it Once the pollen tube reaches the ovary, it pushes its way into the ovule. There, the pushes its way into the ovule. There, the male cell fuses with the female egg cell. male cell fuses with the female egg cell. This process is calledThis process is called fertilization fertilization..
Upon fertilization, the seed is formed. The Upon fertilization, the seed is formed. The fruit develops only after the seed is formed. fruit develops only after the seed is formed.
FRUITS AND SEEDSFRUITS AND SEEDS After fertilization, the ovules develop into seeds. The After fertilization, the ovules develop into seeds. The
ovary will enlarge and eventually become a fruit. So a ovary will enlarge and eventually become a fruit. So a fruit is a matured ovary holding the seeds.fruit is a matured ovary holding the seeds.
The fruit develops to protect the seeds and in some The fruit develops to protect the seeds and in some cases to become attractive to animals that will be agents cases to become attractive to animals that will be agents of seed dispersal.of seed dispersal.
A fruit is a seed container derived from an ovary and any A fruit is a seed container derived from an ovary and any tissues that surround it. tissues that surround it.
As such, fruits are products of flowers and therefore only As such, fruits are products of flowers and therefore only occur in flowering plants. occur in flowering plants.
