    Flowers contain reproductive organs that can be either male (stamen) or female (pistil). Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the stamen to the stigma, which can be done by wind or animals. Fertilization occurs when the pollen tube fuses with the ovule inside the ovary, forming a zygote. This develops into a seed inside a fruit. Germination of the seed produces a seedling, where the shoot grows upward and the root grows downward, with the first leaves being seed leaves.

    PARTS OF A FLOWER
    ¨ Flower – a modified stem with modified (sepals and petals) and
    sexual organs (male stamen or pistil)
    ¨ Flowers may contain only reproductive organs (staminate
    flowers), or only female reproductive organs (pistillate flowers), or .
    ¨ The development of flowers is often following periods of either or
    short nights. However, some angiosperms flower at any time of the year.

    POLLINATION AND FERTILISATION


    ¨ Pollination is the transfer of the male grain from the to
    the stigma of the female pistil. Pollination may occur by means of the wind or by
    animals such as .
    ¨ Self-pollination – pollination within the plant
    ¨ Cross-pollination – pollination with another plant
    ¨ Fertilisation – Fertilisation occurs after pollination. It is the process when a male
    pollen grain enzymatically ‘drills’ a pollen tube from the stigma down the style to
    the , and then fuses with or fertilises a female to form a
    single-celled zygote

    THE FRUIT
    ¨ Fruit – the enlarged fleshy ovule (part of the ovary) which contains the
    that developed from the zygote
    GERMINATION OF THE SEED
    ¨ Germination – the growth of the seed into a small plant called a seedling
    ¨ Water is for germination.
    ¨ Some Australian native plants also require short periods of high temperatures
    resembling in order to germinate.
    ¨ Seeds may be dispersed or by wind (e.g. pine seed), by water (e.g.
    coconut) or by animals (e.g. bird).

    THE SEEDLING
    ¨ After germination of the seed, the shoot grows upward and the grows
    downward.
    ¨ The first leaf/leaves to grow are called seed-leaves or .
    ¨ Monocotyledons are plants, such as grasses and irises, that have one cotyledon or
    seed-leaf.
    ¨ Dicotyledons are plants, such as roses and carrots, that have cotyledons
    or seed-leaves.
