Fertilisation in plants

• Define the term


fertilisation
• Recall the features of
dicot and monocot
plants
• Describe the stages of
fertilisation in a plant

DICOT Vs MONOCOT
Key words
• Fertilisation: fusion of haploid nuclei of male
and female gametes to produce a diploid
zygote in an ovule.
• Sexual reproduction: the process where the
nuclei of two gametes fuse to form a zygote,
resulting in the production of genetically
different offsprings.
Gametes
• Sex cells
– Contain half the normal amount of chromosomes
– Haploid (n)
– Formed by meiosis.

• Zygote
• When the nuclei of the gametes fuse
– Contain the normal number of chromosomes as adult cell
– Diploid(2n)
Process -Sexual
reproduction in plants
1. pollen lands on stigma
2. Pollen tube forms
3. The male nucleus (ONLY) travels down the style
4. Enters the ovary
5. Enters the ovule (female nucleus is located)
6. Fusion of the nuclei, zygote forms
7. Zygote develops into an embryo
8. Ovule becomes the seed
9. Petals, stamen, sepals, wither away
Once pollination occurs a tube grows from the
pollen grain down through the style to the ovule

Development of the seed and fruit
Tissues of the ovary
become the fruit
Ovule becomes the seed
The integuments of ovule
harden and form the tough
protective seed coat (testa)
that prevents bacterial and
fungal infection.
The micropyle remains as a
small pore in the seed
The scar near the seed is
the hilum, the attachment
point of the ovule (seed) to
the Ovary (pod)
Seed dehydrates and
becomes dormant
