Reproduction in Plants Notes

• In plants, sexual reproduction is carried out only in flowering plants.
• Flowers are the reproductive organs of a plant.

• After successful pollination, the stigma secretes nutrients if pollen has landed on the correct stigma of the correct plant.
• The pollen grains absorb these nutrients and start growing.
• A thin tube grows out of the pollen grain.

• After fertilization, the ovary enlarges to form the fruit.
• The wall of the ovary becomes the fruit wall.
• The ovules become the seeds.
• A fruit may have one or more seeds.
