Plants that reproduce sexually

13 de October de 2017

On many occasions we have heard about the reproduction of plants, but the truth is that many doubts still arise about this subject. First of all, we have to say that plants can reproduce in two different ways, that is, sexually and asexually. Two completely different reproductive forms that coincide at the same point, in the creation of new floral species.

Focusing on what interests us, we are going to talk about the sexual reproduction of plants and which are the plants that reproduce sexually.

The sexual reproduction of plants is a complex process, but one that takes place when the female and male cells of plants merge.

Sexual reproduction processes of plants

During the sexual reproduction of plants we can distinguish the following stages:

• Pollination: This is the main stage of this process, and occurs when pollen reaches the pistil. This stage can occur in different ways, either thanks to living beings, wind, etc.
• Fertilization: This is when the connection between male and female gametes originates.
• Fertilization: Stage in which the seed and fruit are formed.
• Germination: As its name suggests, this is when the germination of the seed occurs.

Magnolias are plants that also reproduce sexually
