Plant growth regulators: Auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins

Have you ever been surprised why bees are attracted to flowers? Blooms seem gorgeous and are fragrant, but there is a reason behind this — flowers actually aid plants to reproduce. Flowering plants have seeds and they carry the genetic information of the parents and develop into a new plant. What is Pollination? Pollination is […]

Flowering plants are distinguished by the fact that they fertilise themselves twice. In this phenomenon, one female gamete fuses with two male gametes to form a new gamete. The formation of a zygote occurs when one of the male gametes fertilises an egg, and the construction of an endosperm occurs when the other male gamete

In plants, hormonal and structural changes lead to the differentiation and development of floral primordium, which is the first stage of flowering. The following sections describe the structures and events that take place during prefertilization.  Male reproductive part androecium: Stamens are the building blocks of the androecium. Each stamen is comprised of two parts: an

Introduction Pollination is the term used to describe the process by which plants reproduce. A pollinated plant is a plant that has been pollinated by another flowering plant. There are many various types of pollination, including self-pollination and cross-pollination, and each of these types has subcategories, which we will study about in further detail in

Have you ever thought about why bees are drawn to flowers? Blooms are attractive and fragrant, but there is a reason for this: flowers assist plants in reproduction. Flowering plants produce seeds, which carry the parents’ genetic information and develop into a new plant. Pollination  Pollination is the process of extracting pollen grains from the

The Transfer of pollen from the male part of the Plant to the female part of the plant with the help of a pollinator, later allowing fertilisation and therefore the production of seeds, most frequently by an animal or by wind. Medium of pollination are animals like insects, birds, and bats; water; wind; and even

Introduction  Pollination involves the transport of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma or pistil of the plant. The pistil has four parts: the stigma, which is the portion of the ovary that contains the ovule, and the style, which is part of the stigma. Its primary function is pollination, with fertilisation following it.

Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from one flower’s anther to the stigma of the same or different flower. There are two forms of pollination: Pollen grains are transferred from the anther of one plant to the stigma of another plant in a process known as self-pollination. Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen grains

The process of pollen pistil interaction refers to the transfer of pollen grains from one plant to another plant’s pistil/stigma. This can be self- or cross-pollinating. The pistil is the reproductive female part of flowering plants, and pollen grains the male reproductive part. The first step in pollen pistil interaction is pollination. Next comes the pollen adhesion

Pollen is a mass of microspores found in seed plants that appears as fine dust. Each pollen grain is a tiny body of different shape and structure that forms in the male structures of seed-bearing plants and is transferred to the female structures by various mechanisms (wind, water, etc.) where fertilization takes place. Pollen is
