AndroeciumAndroecium is composed of stamens. Each stamen which represents the male reproductive organ consists of a stalk or a filament and an anther.
Receptacle
• The place on the stem where floral organs attach and originate.
Sepals
• Usually green; leaflike structures that protect the flower, as it forms
and emerges.
Petals
• Located just inside the sepals
• Leaf-like and often very colorful
• Attract pollinators
Corolla
• The collection of petals on a flower
Stamens
• Male reproductive parts of a flower• Arranged around the female parts
Anther
• Part of the stamen
• Produces and holds pollen
Filament
• Stalk that holds up the anther
Stigma
• Found at the end of the pistil
• Has a sticky surface to catch pollen
Style
• The neck of the pistil
Ovary
• Part of the pistil that contains the ovules
Ovule
• The part of the flower in which the eggs are produced and seeds develop
Pollination
Cross pollination
Bee goes into flower
Bee Collects Pollen
Bee transports into another flower
Gives pollen to another flower
Cross-Pollination• Insects other than bees may also cross-pollinate such as:
Butterflies
Caterpillars
Mosquitos
Self-pollination
Self Pollination
• Bees and other animals bring pollen from the flower’s own anthers to its stigma.
The bees collect the pollen from the Anther and then gives it the Stigma
fruits
There are two types of fruits
1:fleshy fruits –wall of ovary becomes flashy and bulky in some fruits are called fleshy fruits e..g. mango lemon
2:dry fruits: the wall of ovary becomes dry in some fruits at their maturity e.g . Pea , green gram
Fleshy fruit
