Pollination
Pollination
The transfer of pollen from the male to the female part of a flower, crucial for seed formation.
Pollen Tube
Pollen Tube
A tube that forms after a pollen grain lands on the stigma, allowing sperm to reach the ovule.

Study Notes
Pollination
- Pollination can be self-pollination or cross-pollination
- Occurs when pollen lands on the stigma of a flower
- Pollen tube forms, transferring cells from pollen to ovule
- Ovule develops into a seed
Pollinators
- Dispersal is the transport of seeds from the parent plant
- Many methods including wind, water, animals (birds, insects)
- Farmers use machines for seed dispersal
- Crop harvesting involves cutting and separating grain from the plant
- Straw is often baled or spread on fields
Cones
- Cones are woody structures on trees
- Male and female cones produce pollen and ovules
- Wind carries pollen to female cones
- Pollen fertilizes ovules and seeds develop
- Seeds are distributed in the fall/winter
Reproduction Without Seeds
- Asexual reproduction creates genetically identical offspring
- New plants grow from roots, stems, or leaves of the parent
- Example methods include runners, stem cuttings, and grafting
