- A seed is an embryonic plant enclosed in a protective outer covering known as the seed coat. It is a characteristic of spermatophytes (gymnosperm and angiosperm plants) and the product of the ripened ovule which occurs after fertilization and some growth within the mother plant.n endospermic seeds, there are two distinct regions inside the seed coat, an upper and larger endosperm and a lower smaller embryo. The embryo is the fertilised ovule, an immature plant from which a new plant will grow under proper conditions.

- Comments. Submit. Seed plants---or spermatophytes, as they are technically termed---are plants that reproduce via seeds from either flowers or ovules. Seed plants can be subdivided into five major plant types, including flowering plants and conifers.While there are millions of types of seed plants throughout the world, all seed plants share three main characteristics---vascular tissue, seed reproduction and common plant body parts---across all subgroups.eed plants---or spermatophytes, as they are technically termed---are plants that reproduce via seeds from either flowers or ovules.

Ovule In seed plants, the ovule (small egg) is the structure that gives rise to and contains the female reproductive cells. It consists of three parts: The integument(s) forming its outer layer(s), the nucellus (or remnant of the megasporangium), and female gametophyte (formed from haploid megaspore) in its center.

Seed Brown flax seeds. A seed is an embryonic plant enclosed in a protective outer covering. The formation of the seed is part of the process of reproduction in seed plants, the spermatophytes, including the gymnosperm and angiosperm plants. Seeds are the product of the ripened ovule, after fertilization by pollen and some growth within the mother plant.

- THE GYMNOSPERMS. Gymnosperms include all seed-bearing plants whose ovules are exposed such that the pollen goes through the micropyle during pollination. The seed, one of the most marvelous products of evolution, is so complex that all seed plants must be monophyletic.2006 & 2007) show the flowering plants as sisters to the gymnosperms. Further, they show that the cycads and ginkgophytes are basal in the gymnosperm line. An interesting outcome of their molecular analyses is the monophyletic clade, Pinaceae + Gnetophyta (called the Gne-Pine Hypothesis, Figure 2-A).

ovule Fertilization, development of an embryo, and conversion of the ovule into a seed become possible after pollination, that is, after the entry of male game-tophytes (pollen grains) into the micropyle of the ovule in gymnosperms or placement on the stigma in angiosperms.

Seed and fruit 1 The superiority of dispersal by means of seeds over the more primitive method involving single-celled spores, lies mainly in two factors: the stored reserve of nutrient material that gives the new generation an excellent growing start and the seed’s multicellular structure.

What Is the Function of Seeds and Spores in Plants? Overview. Seeds and spores allow plants to reproduce. When a seed or a spore falls to the ground and conditions are right, it will grow into a new adult plant.However, seeds and spores are not the same thing.f conditions are right, the spores will develop into a structure where all cells also contain a half-set of chromosomes. These structures produce egg and sperm cells that, when carried to each other by water and united, form a plant with a full set of chromosomes, capable of producing spores. The cycle begins again.

Seed seed potatoes, seeds of corn or sunflower seeds . In the case of sunflower and corn seeds, what is sown is the seed enclosed in a shell or husk, whereas the potato is a tuber.Many structures commonly referred to as seeds are actually dry fruits. The oldest viable carbon-14 -dated seed that has grown into a plant was a Judean date palm seed about 2,000 years old, recovered from excavations at Herod the Great 's palace on Masada in Israel.

Seed Seed germination is a process by which a seed embryo develops into a seedling. It involves the reactivation of the metabolic pathways that lead to growth and the emergence of the radicle or seed root and plumule or shoot.he seed coat in the mature seed can be a paper-thin layer (e.g. peanut) or something more substantial (e.g. thick and hard in honey locust and coconut), or fleshy as in the sarcotesta of pomegranate. The seed coat helps protect the embryo from mechanical injury, predators and drying out.

Seeds It is a mature ovule, comprising an embryo or miniature plant along with food reserves, all within a protective seed coat. Seed plants first appeared during the Devonian period some 400 million years ago and rapidly became the dominant vegetation.

Seed A seed is an embryonic plant enclosed in a protective outer covering known as the seed coat. It is a characteristic of spermatophytes (gymnosperm and angiosperm plants) and the product of the ripened ovule which occurs after fertilization and some growth within the mother plant.eeds have been considered to occur in many structurally different types (Martin 1946). These are based on a number of criteria, of which the dominant one is the embryo to seed size ratios. This reflects the degree to which the developing cotyledons absorb the nutrients of the endosperm, and this obliterate it.

Seedling Growth of the plumule does not occur until the cotyledons have grown above ground. This is epigeal germination. However, in seeds such as the broad bean, a leaf structure is visible on the plumule in the seed. These seeds develop by the plumule growing up through the soil with the cotyledons remaining below the surface.

- Gymnosperms, like angiosperms (the flowering plants), differ from seedless plants (like mosses and ferns) in not requiring water for sperm to swim in to reach the egg. This means that the movement of pollen (male gamete) to ovule (female gamete) in seed plants relies on airborne transport, not water transport. Consequently, most gymnosperms produce huge amounts of pollen. 1. In gymnosperms, pollen is found (located) in stamen-like structures called strobili (various types of cones).

Seedling (April 2012) A seedling is a young plant sporophyte developing out of a plant embryo from a seed. Seedling development starts with germination of the seed. A typical young seedling consists of three main parts: the radicle (embryonic root), the hypocotyl (embryonic shoot), and the cotyledons (seed leaves). The two classes of flowering plants (angiosperms) are distinguished by their numbers of seed leaves: monocotyledons (monocots) have one blade-shaped cotyledon, whereas dicotyledons (dicots) possess two round cotyledons.

The Life Cycle of Plants As in gymnosperms, the ovule becomes a seed, encasing the embryo and endosperm in a seed coat. But unlike gymnosperms, in angiosperms the ovary containing the ovules develops into a fruit after fertilization.

Angiosperm The angiosperms are vascular seed plants in which the ovule (egg) is fertilized and develops into a seed in an enclosed hollow ovary. The ovary itself is usually enclosed in a flower, that part of the angiospermous plant that contains the male or female reproductive organs or both.

What are Seed Plants, Angiosperms and Gymnosperms Seed plants or seed-bearing plants, also called spermatophytes or Spermatophyta, are vascular plants with numerous members belonging to the lignophytes or woody plants. They have the natural ability to produce seeds, a characteristic which likewise distinguishes them from earlier plants.imilar to bryophytes and the ferns and allies, the gymnosperms have no flowers. They are also described as plants with naked seeds because during pollination the ovule is not enclosed by the carpel except some kind of scales during development.
