EspañolSeed Production in Gymnosperm
Title:
Seed Production in Gymnosperm
Description:
The adult sporophyte (e.g. pine tree) develops male and female cones on separate branches. Female cone develops two ovules on the upper surface of each cone scale; each ovule contains haploid megaspore. Male cones produce microspore by meiosis. The microspores develop into pollen grains. Each winged pollen grain is a four-cell male gametophyte. The female gametophyte grows producing two or more archegonia, each of which contains an egg. During pollination, a wind-born pollen grain falls near the opening in one of the ovule of the female cone. Each male gametophyte form a pollen tube that penetrate the tissue of the female gametophyte. When the pollen tube has grown into an archegonium, a sperm cell from the male gametophyte fertilizes the egg. The zygote develops into an embryo and a mature seed is produced. The female cone opens releasing the seeds. When condition is favourable the seed germinates to a new young sporophyte - a pinetree seedling.

 | Double Fertilization in Flowering Plants Double fertilization in flowering plants involves the fusion of two sperm cell nuclei of the male gametophyte with two cell nuclei of female gametophyte. One sperm fuses with the haploid egg cell to form the zygote; the other sperm unites with the diploid central cell to form a triploid cell that will develop to an endosperm. |
