Plant Reproduction > Reproductive Development and Structure
Introduction
• Vegetative reproduction is a type of asexual reproduction that results in new plant
individuals without seed or spore production.
• Vegetative reproduction is also utilized by horticulturists to ensure production of
large quantities of valuable plants.
• Plants have flowers that produce seeds through sexual reproduction; seeds are
dispersed to increase propagation of the next generation.
• Seeds are often dispersed by animals via ingestion of the fruits, which surround
the seeds, promoting seed dispersal.

Sexual Reproduction in Angiosperms
• A typical flower has four main parts, or whorls: the calyx (sepals), corolla (petals),
androecium (male reproductive structure), and gynoecium (female reproductive
structure).
• Angiosperms that contain both male and female gametophytes within the same
flower are called complete and are considered to be androgynous or
hermaphroditic.
• Angiosperms that contain only male or only female gametophytes are considered
to be incomplete and are either staminate (contain only male structures) or
carpellate (contain only female structures) flowers.
• Microspores develop in the microsporangium and form mature pollen grains (male

gametophytes), which are then used to fertilize female gametophytes.
• During megasporogenesis, four megaspores are produced with one surviving;
during megagametogenesism, the surviving megaspore undergoes mitosis to
form an embryo sac (female gametophyte).
• The sperm, guided by the synergid cells, migrates to the ovary to complete
fertilization; the diploid zygote develops into the embryo, while the fertilized ovule
forms the other tissues of the seed.

Plant Reproduction > Reproductive Development and Structure
Sexual Reproduction in Gymnosperms
• In gymnosperms, the cones contain a leafy green sporophyte and male and
female gametophytes in the cones; female cones are bigger than male cones and
are located higher up in the tree.
• A male cone contains microsporophylls where male gametophytes (pollen) are
produced and are later carried by wind to female gametophytes.
• The megaspore mother cell in the female cone divides by meiosis to produce four
haploid megaspores; one of the megaspores divides to form the female
gametophyte.
• The male gametophyte lands on the female cone, forming a pollen tube through
which the generative cell travels to meet the female gametophyte.
Conifer life cycle
View on Boundless.com
• One of the two sperm cells released by the generative cell fuses with the egg,
forming a diploid zygote that divides to form the embryo.
• Unlike angiosperms, ovaries are absent in gymnosperms, double fertilization does
not take place, male and female gametophytes are present on cones rather than
flowers, and wind (not animals) drives pollination.

Key terms
• androecium the set of a flower's stamens (male reproductive organs)
• gynoecium the set of a flower's pistils (female reproductive organs)
• megasporophyll bears megasporangium, which produces megaspores that divide into the female gametophyte

Structures of the flower
The four main parts of the flower are the calyx, corolla, androecium, and gynoecium.The androecium is the sum of all the male reproductive organs, and
the gynoecium is the sum of the female reproductive organs.

Pollen grain structure
Pollen develops from the microspore mother cells.The mature pollen grain is composed of two cells: the pollen tube cell and the generative cell, which is
inside the tube cell.The pollen grain has two coverings: an inner layer (intine) and an outer layer (exine).The inset scanning electron micrograph shows
<em>Arabidopsis lyrata</em> pollen grains.

Embryo sac
As shown in this diagram of the embryo sac in angiosperms, the ovule is covered by integuments and has an opening called a micropyle.Inside the
embryo sac are three antipodal cells, two synergids, a central cell, and the egg cell.

Staminate and carpellate flowers
The corn plant has both staminate (male) and carpellate (female) flowers.Staminate flowers, which are clustered in the tassel at the tip of the stem,
produce pollen grains.Carpellate flower are clustered in the immature ears.Each strand of silk is a stigma.The corn kernels are seeds that develop on the
ear after fertilization.Also shown is the lower stem and root.

Microsporangium
Shown is (a) a cross section of an anther at two developmental stages.The immature anther (top) contains four microsporangia, or pollen sacs.Each
microsporangium contains hundreds of microspore mother cells that will each give rise to four pollen grains.The tapetum supports the development and
maturation of the pollen grains.Upon maturation of the pollen (bottom), the pollen sac walls split open and the pollen grains (male gametophytes) are
released.(b) In these scanning electron micrographs, pollen sacs are ready to burst, releasing their grains.

microsporophylls, each of which produces hundreds of male gametophytes (pollen grains).(b) Pollen grains are visible in this single microsporophyll.(c)
This micrograph shows an individual pollen grain.(d) This cross section of a female cone shows portions of about 15 megasporophylls.(e) The ovule can
be seen in this single megasporophyll.(f) Within this single ovule are the megaspore mother cell (MMC), micropyle, and a pollen grain.
