This fertilized ovule becomes the seed. Each seed contains the genetic material to produce a new plant. After fertilization, ...

Seeds are dispersed in a variety of ways. The nucleus of the pollen grain passes through the pollen tube and joins with the egg cell inside an ovule in the ovary. Fruit comes from flowering plants ...

The team suggests their find adds to available information regarding the origins of wind dispersal of seeds. More information ...

How did Earth's earliest seed plants capture pollen to reproduce? A team of scientists has uncovered new clues by studying 365-million-year-old seed plant fossils from China. The discovery, led by ...

"We found MADS31 functions to prevent the expression of seed genes in the ovule until after fertilization, allowing the mother plant to create a nurturing environment to give the seeds the best ...

Pollination is the first step of flowering plant reproduction: pollen moves from male flower parts to female flower parts, to fertilize the ovule and produce seeds.
