Sexual Reproduction in Plants



Plants reproduce asexually through
grafting, cuttings, cloning, tissue culture
and from their roots.
Plants can also reproduce sexually. The
product of sexual reproduction in plants
is a seed.
Plants are classified (or organized) based
on the type of seeds they produce.
Types of Plants (based on their seeds)

Angiosperms are flowering plants. The
seeds of angiosperms form inside the
flower. Example: tulips and lilies.
Gymnosperms do not have flowers. They
produce seeds in cones. Example: pine
trees and oak trees
Some plants don’t produce seeds at all
but they still reproduce sexually.
Example: ferns and mosses

All flowers function as the plant’s reproductive
organ.
The female reproductive organ is the pistil and
the male is the stamen.
Pollen from anthers must reach the stigma of the
pistil before a seed can develop – this is called
pollination.
Some plants have both male and female
reproductive organs therefore they are able to
self-pollinate.
