Reproduction in Plants – fertilisation

Flowers are the reproductive parts of a plant! They develop into fruits after pollination and fertilisation.

Pollination is just the start of the reproductive process in plants! Male reproductive cells in the pollen grains must then travel through a pollen tube to reach the female reproductive cell in the ovules for fertilisation to take place.
(Note: the endosperm refers to the seed leaves – while one male reproductive cell fuses with the egg cell to form the plant embryo, a second male reproductive cell forms the seed leaves after fertilisation)
