Megagametogensis
Pollination
Self pollination
Cross pollination
Often cross pollination
Fertilization
Double fertilization
Triple fusion

Monocot embryo
Dicot embryo
Endosperm development
Nuclear
Cellular
Helobial
Microsporogenesis-
occurs in anther
Megasporogenesis –
occurs in ovule
Gametogenisis
Processes of development of male gamete
and female gamete is known as
gametogenesis
Female gamete
generally forms in
megaspore
Megaspore
MICROSPOROGENESIS
Megaspore mother
cell, undergoes
meiosis to produce
initially four haploid
cells (megaspores).
Megaspores
MEGAGAMETOGENESIS
The megaspore develops into the 1st 2nd
female gametophyte (the embryo Mitosis Mitosis
sac) in a process called
megagametogenesis. Megaspore
3rd
mother cell Mitosis

Megagametogenesis
POLLINATION
• Calyx Corolla Stamens style and stigma get dried up and wither away.
Seed Coat Development
• Integuments of the ovule undergoes marked
reorganization and histological, changes during
maturation to form seed coat.
