This document summarizes sexual reproduction in flowering plants. It discusses pollination, which is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma, allowing the transfer of gametes. There are three main types of pollination based on the source of pollen: autogamy, geitonogamy, and xenogamy. The document also describes the different agents of pollination, including wind, water, insects, birds and bats. Flowers have adapted for different pollination methods, such as wind-pollinated flowers being small and dry. The process of double fertilization is also summarized, where one sperm cell fuses with the egg to form a zygote, and another sperm fuses

Gymnosperm is from the Greek “gymnos” naked, and “sperma” seeds. They are groups of vascular plants that reproduce by means of an exposed seeds or ovules. They are phanerogams according to A. W. Eichler.
Pollination, transfer of pollen grains from the stamens, the flower parts that produce them, to the ovule-bearing organs or to the ovules (seed precursors) themselves. In plants such as conifers and cycads, in which the ovules are exposed, the pollen is simply caught in a drop of fluid secreted by the ovule. In flowering plants, however, the ovules are contained within a hollow organ called the pistil, and the pollen is deposited on the pistil’s receptive surface, the stigma. There the pollen germinates and gives rise to a pollen tube, which grows down through the pistil toward one of the ovules in its base. In an act of double fertilization, one of the two sperm cells within the pollen tube fuses with the egg cell of the ovule, making possible the development of an embryo, and the other cell combines with the two subsidiary sexual nuclei of the ovule, which initiates formation of a reserve food tissue, the endosperm. The growing ovule then transforms itself into a seed.

Pollination
Process
Types
The process of pollination begins when the pollen grains from the respective flowers lands on the stigma and form a pollen tube with the style length, which connects both the stigma and ovary. After the completion of the pollen tube, the pollen grain starts transmitting sperm cells from the grain to the ovary.
Later the process of fertilization in plants will take place when the sperm cells will reach the ovary and egg cells. The seed is then released from the parent plant and making it able to grow into a plant and continue the reproductive cycle with the use of the pollination method.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. Gamete Transfer: Pollination
• Transfer of Gametes in Angiosperms and Gymnosperms take place
with the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to stigma of the
flower by the process called Pollination.
• Pollination can be defined as the transfer of Pollen grains from the
anther to the stigma of flower.
• Animals/insects that are involve in the pollination are called
“Pollinators”.
• Pollination by animals is an accidental process but plants have a proper
mechanism for the process.
3. Types of Pollination
On the basis of Source of Pollen-
• Autogamy: Transfer of pollen grains from
the anther of a flower to the stigma of the
flower of same plant or the another flower of
same plant. E.g., Mirabilis jalapa
• Geitonogamy: If transfer of pollen grains
takes place from the anther of a flower to the
stigma of the flower borne on same plant. It
is genetically Self Pollination but. E.g.,
Cucurbita
• Xenogamy (Cross Pollination): Transfer of
pollen grains from the anther of a flower to
the stigma of the flower of any other plant of
same species. E,g., Carica papaya, Zea maize

5. Agents of Pollination:
• The agents responsible for
pollination in angiosperms have been
grouped into categories as shown in
flow chart.
• Animals/insects that are involve in
the pollination are called
“Pollinators”.
• Pollination by animals is an
accidental process but plants have a
proper mechanism for the process.
Agents of
Pollination
Abiotic
Wind
Water
Biotic
Insects
Birds
Bats
Mammals
6. Adaptation for Wind Pollination (Anemophily):
• Flowers are small, colorless, inconspicuous,
nectar less and become arranged as inflorescence.
• Inflorescence are compact.
• The anthers are well exposed for the easy
dispersal of pollen grains.
• Pollen grains are small, light, dry, dusty, non-
sticky and sometimes even winged.
• The stigmas are large, hairy and feathery or
branched to catch the air borne pollen grains.
• Flower often have single ovule in a Ovary.
• E.g., Grasses, Sugarcane (Saccharum), Bamboo
(Bambusa) and Coconut (Cocos nucifera), etc
7. Adaptations for Water Pollination (Hydrophily):
• It is quite rare in flowering plants and is
limited to about 30 genera, mostly
monocotyledons.
• Flowers are small, colorless, inconspicuous,
odorless and nectar-less and pollen grains and
stigmas are generally unwettable.
• The stigmas are long and sticky, e.g.,
Vallisneria, Hydrilla and Zostera.
• In Vallisneria, the female flower reach the
surface of water by the long stalk and pollen
grains are released on to the surface of water.
They are then carried by the passive water
currents.
• In most of the water pollinated species, pollen
grains are protected by mucilaginous covering.
Note: Not all aquatic plants use water for
pollination. In a majority of aquatic plants, the
flowers emerge above the level of water and are
pollinated by insects or winds as in land plants,
e.g., water hyacinth (Eichornia) and lily.
8. Adaptations for Insect Pollination (Entomophily):
• Most of the flowers are Entomophily in
pollination.
• Insect-pollinated flowers are large, colorful,
fragrant and rich in nectar.
• A number of flowers are clustered into an
inflorescence to make them conspicuous.
• Flowers have nectar glands and are highly
fragrant to attract insects.
• The surface of pollen grains is sticky due to
exine layer and stigma is sticky due to
mucilaginous layer.
• Nectar and pollen grains are floral rewards for
the insect pollinators..
Note: 1. The flowers pollinated by flies and beetles
secrete foul odors to attract these animals.
2. Night blossoming flowers which are entomophily
are white colored, and have strong smell.
Pollination by Honey bee
9. Adaptations for Insect Pollination (Entomophily):
• Floral rewards for flowers can be:
o In some species, floral rewards are to
provide safe place to lay eggs, e.g., for
the tallest flower of Amorphophallus
(about 6 feet in height).
o In plant Yucca, moth and the plant,
cannot complete their life cycles without
each other. The moth deposits its eggs in
the locule of the ovary and the flower, in
turn plant gets pollinated by the moth.
The larvae of the moth come out of the
eggs as the seeds start developing
Pollination in Yucca by Moth
10. Requirements for Autogamy
• A synchronization between pollen release and
stigma receptivity and also, the anthers and
the stigma should .
• Flower should either be,
› Cleistogamous- Flowers which do not open at
all In such flowers, the anthers and stigma lie
close to each other. When anthers dehisce in
the flower buds, pollen grains come in contact
with the stigma to effect pollination.
OR
› Chasmogamous flowers which are similar to
flowers of other species with exposed anthers
and stigma
11. Outbreeding Devices:
• Flowering plants have developed many devices to discourage self-
pollination and to encourage cross-pollination.
• Because the majority of flowering plants produce hermaphrodite flowers
and are likely to come in contact with the stigma of the same flower.
• The continued self-pollination leads to chances of inbreeding
depression.
12. Devices to prevent inbreeding are:
• Dichogamy: Receptivity of pollen release and stigma is not
synchronized.
› Protandry: When the pollens released before the stigma becomes
receptive.
› Protogyny: When stigma becomes receptive before the release of pollen.
• The anther and stigma are placed at different positions, so that the pollen
cannot come in contract with the stigma of same flower which will
prevent autogamy.
• Self incompatibility: Inhibition of pollen tube growth on the stigma of
the same flower.
13. Devices to Prevent inbreeding are:
• Production of unisexual flowers, i.e., autogamy is prevented, if both male and
female flowers are not present on same plant, e.g., castor and maize
(monoecious).
• Both autogamy and geitonogamy is prevented in several species like in Carica
papaya, if male and female flowers are present on different plants, i.e., each plant
is either male or female (dioecy).
• Heterostyly: Sometimes due to great disparity in the length of style and stigma,
effective self pollination is not possible, e.g., Primula, Lathynis, Oxalis etc.
• Herkogamy : Unusual Mechanical or Chemical Barriers for promoting
outbreeding. Examples-
• In flowers of Caryophyllaceae, the stigma grows much beyond the limits of
stamens so that its own pollen-grains fail to reach its own stigma.
• In Calotropis, the corolla act as hood in between and androecium and gynoecium.
14. Pollen Pistil Interaction
• A large number of Pollens releases from the
flower So, Pollens of any species can land over
the stigma of any flower.
• So., after the pollination it is required that a
recognition between stigma and pollen landed
over the stigma.
• There is a chemical reaction take place between
the Stigma and Pollen grain for the recognition
purposes.
• These set of reactions collectively termed as
Pollen-pistil interaction.
• The successful interaction leads to germination
of Pollen grain and entry of Pollen tube into
Ovule through Style.
15. Germination of Pollen Tube-
• In flowering plants, however, the ovules are contained
within a hollow organ called the pistil, and the pollen
is deposited on the pistil’s receptive surface, the
stigma.
• On the stigma, the germination of pollen grains begins
by absorption of water and nutrients and the pollen
grain produces a tiny pollen tube through the style to
the ovary.
• The tube cell enlarges and comes out of the pollen
grain through one of the germ pores to form a pollen
tube. The tube nucleus descends to the tip of the pollen
tube.
• And enters into ovule and then into embryo sac, by
which two male gametes also enters into ovule and
then into embryo sac.
16. Ways of Entry of Pollen Tube in the Ovules
• There can be following ways of entry of
Pollen tube into the ovules-
› Porogamy- When Pollen tube enter to the
Ovule through the Micropyle of the Ovules.
› Mesogamy- When Pollen tube enter to the
Ovule through the Integuments of the Ovules.
› Challazogamy- When Pollen tube enter to the
Ovule through the Micropyle of the Ovules. Obturator is a special structure that facilitates
the entry of the pollen tube into the ovule of a
flower.
Filiform apparatus Guides the Entry of
Pollen tube into the Ovule.
17. Fertilization:
• The process of Double Fertilization is the important
feature of Angiosperms.
• When pollen tube enters the embryo-sac (inside the
ovule), it bursts to release its contents i.e., two sperms
along with certain amount of protoplasm .The first
male gamete discharge in one of the synergid.
There are following two steps of Double Fertilization-
1. Triple Fusion- The remaining sperm now fuses with
the two haploid polar nuclei (present in the center of
embryo sac). This fusion is called as triple fusion (as
three nuclei i.e., one male gamete and 2 polar nuclei,
are fused). This results in formation of Primary
Endosperm Nucleus (PEN).
2. Syngamy- One of the two sperms goes to fertilize the
egg cell. This fusion is called syngamy. It results in
the formation of zygote, which gives rise to proper
embryo.
Male Gamete (N)+Egg (N)= Zygote (2N)
Male Gamete(N)+Polar Nuclei (2N)= PEN (3N)
