Flowers • Male gametophyte: pollen grain • Female gametophyte: embryo sac • Bisexual flower • Unisexual flower • Stamenate • carpellate • Monoecious • Dioecious
Gametophyte Development • Male • Microsporyte generates 4 microspores • Microspore divides creating generative and tube cells • Two cells and wall make grain • Female • Megasporyte forms 4 megaspores • 1 megaspore divides 3 times • 1 egg and 2 synergids • 3 Antipodal cells • 2 polar nuclei
Fertilization • Self-fertilization • Unisexual cannot self-fertilize • Bisexual flowers often mature at different times • Self-incompatability • Double fertilization
Ovule Becomes a Seed • Endosperm Development • Embryo Development • Creation of Basal and Terminal cell • Basal ends becomes Suspensor • Terminal: spherical proembryo • Three primary meristems also form
Mature Seed • Hypocotyl • Radicle • Epicotyl
