FLOWERS
PLANT REPRODUCTION
MALE ORGAN (POLLEN
 Plants like any other living things
PRODUCING)
cannot live FOREVER and
 Filament
therefore each species of plants
 Anther
must replace themselves with
 Produces haploid pollen grains
younger members.
 Plants do this in two ways of FEMALE ORGAN (EGG
reproduction: PRODUCING)
 SEXUAL  Stigma
 ASEXUAL  Style
 Ovary and ovules
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION  Each containing haploid ovum
 Does not involve the fusion of sex
cells STAGES OF SEXUAL
 Only one parent is required REPRODUCTION IN PLANTS
 Offspring are genetically identical  Pollination
to parents known as CLONES.  Fertilization
 Speed Dispersal
NARURAL - VEGETATIVE  Germination
REPRODUCTION
ARTIFICIAL - VEGETATIVE 1. Pollination
PROPAGATION •This is the transfer of pollen
grains from the stamen to
EXAMPLES: garlic, onion, peppers the stigma.
•Pollen grains produced
Vegetative Reproduction from the ANTHER of one
•Modified stems plant land on the STIGMA
•Rhizome of the flower in another
•Bulb plant.
•Corm •Two ways of Pollination:
•Runner/Stolon Self pollination-When pollen is
•Tuber carried from
stamen to stigma
Vegetative Propagation of SAME plant.
•Artificial Plant Cross pollination-
Propagation When pollen is
•Cutting carried to the
•Budding and stigma of
Grafting ANOTHER plant.
•Tissue Culture
2. Fertilization
•A. once the pollen lands on a
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION STIGMA,
 •Involves fusion of two sex cell to •B. a POLLEN TUBE forms and grows
form a zygote •Usually requires two into the stigma, down
parents •Offspring shows variations •C. the STYLE and into
or not the exact copy of the parents •D. the OVARY where the male
gamete from the pollen fertilizes • Activates plant enzymes also necessary
the OVULE. for respiration
•E. the MALE and FEMALE gamete
fuses.
•F. The OVARY swells UP and ripens
to form a FRUIT which may
contain one or more SEEDS.

SEEDS inside it, a plant

embryo awaits its
favorable growth.
It is the reproductive
structure in which a
plant embryo and a
food source are
contained within a
seed coat (testa).

3. Seed Dispersal
•This process happens to
prevent overcrowding and
competition for basic needs,
such as space, light, and
water, seeds together with its
fruit.
•Methods of dispersing seeds:
 Wind
 water
 animal
 Explosion

4. Germination
•The process in which a new plant
grows
from a seed when it lands on the ground,
it breaks through the seed coat and
grows.
•But some seeds do not grow as they are
dispersed, some stay dormant as their
metabolism slows down until a
favorable
situation occurs.

Factors needed for Germination

Water
• For metabolism
Oxygen
• For respiration which breaks down
food, releasing energy for food
