Key Topics to Revise

1. Flower, Stamen, and Pollen Formation

  • A flower is the site of sexual reproduction in angiosperms.
  • The male reproductive organ is the stamen, also called the androecium unit.
  • A stamen has two parts: filament and anther.

2. Pistil, Ovule, and Female Gametophyte

  • The female reproductive part is the pistil, which forms the gynoecium unit.
  • A pistil has three parts: stigma, style, and ovary.
  • The stigma receives pollen grains.

3. Pollination and Agents of Pollination

  • Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma.
  • Autogamy is pollination within the same flower.
  • Geitonogamy is transfer of pollen to another flower of the same plant.

4. Pollen-Pistil Interaction and Fertilisation

  • After pollination, the pistil recognises whether pollen is compatible or incompatible.
  • Compatible pollen is accepted and incompatible pollen is rejected.
  • Rejection occurs by preventing pollen germination or pollen tube growth in the style.
