Spore formation example
Chlamydomonas, Chlorella, diatoms
Conidia formation eg
Penicillum
Gemma formation eg
Marchantia
Scion
part of the stem containing more than one bud
Tissue culture
Small amount of plant tissue is grown to give many plantlets
dithecous
having 2 lobes
tetrasporangiate
When in dithecous anther four pollen sacs are present
archesporial cells
divides into inner sporogenous cells and other outer
parietal cells.
heterogenesity
differentiation occuring when some hypodermal cells get converted to archesporial cells
sporogenous cell
gives rise to sporogenous tissue which forms
microspore tetrad (they form pollens).
epidermis
Outermost,
protective covering
endothecium
Sub-epidermal
layer
middle layer
May degenerate in
mature anther
tapetum
Provides nutrition to
developing pollens
microspore mother cell
microspore mother cell
pollen grain
sporoderm
exine
Outerwall, made of
sporopollenin (non-
biodegradable)
sporopollenin
germ-pores
Aids in formation of
pollen tube
intine
Inner wall, made of
cellulose and pectin
vegetative cell
Vegetative cell,
present in mature
pollen, rich in food
generative cell
Present in mature
pollen. Forms the
male gametes
apocarpous
syncarpous
funiculus
hilum
nucellus`
integuments
micropyle
chalaza
megaspore mother cell
