Flower functions:

In order for the flower to perform its functions in reproduction and species continutiy, the stamens should prepare for pollen production, and the ovary for ovule formation. Then follows the 2 processes of pollination, and fertilization to produce the fruits, and the seeds.

First: Formation of pollen grains:

 

If you examine a T.S. in a mature anther of a large stamen as that of Lily plant, you will find 4 sacs of pollen grains. During flower development and before formation of pollen grains, these sacs are full of large nucleated diploid cells called spore mother cells (2N). The following steps take place:

Each spore mother cell (2N) is divided meiotically forming 4 haploid microspores (N).

Each of these microspores develops into a pollen grain through a mitotic division of its nucleus into 2 nuclei called the tube and the generative nuclei.

The wall of the pollen grain then thickens for protection. Meanwhile, the anther matures, and the wall in-between adjacent pollen sacs degenerates.

The sacs open releasing the pollen grains that disperse.

Second: Formation of ovules:

During the production of pollen grains in the anther, parallel changes occur in the ovary as follows:

The ovule starts to appear as a simple swelling on the interior ovary wall that contains a large spore mother cell (2N).

During the ovule growth, a funicle or umbilical cord develops connecting it with the ovary wall (through which food materials reach it). The 2 integuments surround the ovule completely, save a minute hole called micropyle, through which the ovule is fertilized.

The spore mother cell (2N) divides meiotically giving a row of 4 haploid cells (N). Three of them degenerate and the fourth grows rapidly forming the embryo sac, that is surrounded by a nutritive tissue called nucellus.

The nucleus of the embryo sac (N) is divided mitotically thrice giving 8 nuclei (N), 4 of them migrate to each pole of the embryo sac.

From each of these 4 nuclei, one moves to the centre of the embryo sac giving the 2 polar nuclei.
