    Study Notes

    Seed Structure

    • Seeds contain an embryo, the young plant protected by a hard, waterproof seed coat.
    • The endosperm serves as a food source for the embryo.
    • The micropyle is a small opening through which water enters the seed.

    Types of Seeds

    • Seeds are classified into two categories based on cotyledons:
      • Monocotyledons (monocots) have one cotyledon; examples include rice, wheat, and maize.
      • Dicotyledons (dicots) have two cotyledons; examples include gram, rajma, and pea seeds.

    Germination Process

    • Germination requires suitable conditions, including air, water, and sunlight.
    • Essential factors for germination include water, oxygen, and warm temperatures; some seeds also require sunlight.
    • Lower temperatures can delay germination.

    Seed Dispersal

    • Seed dispersal is essential for species continuity, preventing overcrowding, and avoiding competition for resources.
    • Different agents of dispersal include wind, water, birds, animals, and insects.
    • Examples of seed dispersals:
      • Wind: Dandelion and milkweed (light seeds).
      • Animals: Begger-ticks and blackberry.
      • Water: Lotus and coconut.
      • Humans: Beans and cherries.

    Methods of Plant Reproduction

    • Plants reproduce by:
      • Flowers: The primary method involving pollination, where pollen grains transfer from anther to stigma.
      • Vegetative Parts: Involves reproduction through leaves, stems, and roots.

    Pollination

    • Pollinating agents include insects, birds, animals, water, wind, and sometimes other plants.
    • Flowers are considered the reproductive organs, consisting of distinct parts:
      • Corolla: Brightly colored petals attract pollinators.
      • Calyx: Protective green sepals surrounding the flower bud.
      • Stamen: Male part, consisting of filament and anther, which contains pollen.
      • Pistil: Female part, made up of style, stigma, and ovary (containing ovules).

    Reproductive Organ Occurrence

    • Some flowers have both male and female parts, while others only have one.
    • Examples:
      • Unisexual: Flowers of papaya, cucumber, and pumpkin.
      • Bisexual: Flowers of hibiscus, mustard, and lily.

    Pollination Types

    • Self-pollination occurs in plants with both reproductive organs, e.g., wheat, tobacco, and pea plants.
    • Cross-pollination occurs in plants with only one organ, e.g., apples, grapes, and tulips.
      • Insect-pollinated: Jasmine, strawberry, mustard.
      • Wind-pollinated: Palm and maize.
      • Water-pollinated: Hydrilla and lotus.

    Fertilisation and Fruit Development

    • After pollination, pollen grains reach the stigma and ovary, leading to fertilization, which fuses pollen with ovules.
    • The ovary enlarges to become fruit, while fertilized ovules develop into seeds.

    Vegetative Reproduction

    • Some plants reproduce from parts such as:
      • Leaves: Bryophyllum and Begonia.
      • Roots: Dahlia and sweet potato.
      • Stems: Garlic, potato, and ginger.

    Seed Structure

    • Seeds contain an embryo, the young plant protected by a hard, waterproof seed coat.
    • The endosperm serves as a food source for the embryo.
