- 32.1: Plant Reproductive Development and Structure - Plant Reproductive Development and Structure
- Plants have developed various strategies, both sexual and asexual, to ensure reproductive success.
- 32.2: Plant Reproductive Development and Structure - Sexual Reproduction in Gymnosperms
- Gymnosperms produce both male and female gametophytes on separate cones and rely on wind for pollination.
- 32.3: Plant Reproductive Development and Structure - Sexual Reproduction in Angiosperms
- Angiosperms may be monoecious or dioecious and undergo sexual reproduction.
- 32.4: Pollination and Fertilization - Introduction
- Plants can transfer pollen through self-pollination; however, the preferred method is cross-pollination, which maintains genetic diversity.
- 32.5: Pollination and Fertilization - Pollination by Insects
- Plants have developed adaptations to promote symbiotic relationships with insects that ensure their pollination.
- 32.6: Pollination and Fertilization - Pollination by Bats, Birds, Wind, and Water
- Non-insect methods of pollination include pollination by bats, birds, wind, and water.
- 32.7: Pollination and Fertilization - Double Fertilization in Plants
- Angiosperms undergo two fertilization events where a zygote and endosperm are both formed.
- 32.8: Pollination and Fertilization - Development of the Seed
- Monocot and dicot seeds develop in differing ways, but both contain seeds with a seed coat, cotyledons, endosperm, and a single embryo.
- 32.9: Pollination and Fertilization - Development of Fruit and Fruit Types
- Fruits are categorized based on the part of the flower they developed from and how they release their seeds.
- 32.10: Pollination and Fertilization - Fruit and Seed Dispersal
- Some fruits can disperse seeds on their own, while others require assistance from wind, water, or animals.
- 32.11: Asexual Reproduction - Asexual Reproduction in Plants
- Plants can reproduce asexually, without the fertilization of gametes, by either vegetative reproduction or apomixis.
- 32.12: Asexual Reproduction - Natural and Artificial Methods of Asexual Reproduction in Plants
- Plants can undergo natural methods of asexual reproduction, performed by the plant itself, or artificial methods, aided by humans.
- 32.13: Asexual Reproduction - Plant Life Spans
- The life cycles and life spans of plants vary and are affected by environmental and genetic factors.
