The part of a plant that contains reproductive structures, typically includes a calyx, a corolla, and one or more stamens and/or carpels.
Flower
Seeds
A plant reproductive structure consisting of an embryo, associated nutritive tissue (endosperm), and an outer protective layer (seed coat). Develops from the fertilized ovule of a flower.
A mature, ripened, plant ovary, along with the seeds it contains, and any adjacent fused parts; often functions in seed dispersal.
Fruits
A modified stem that runs horizontally underground and produces new plants at the nodes.
Rhizome
A rounded, thick underground stem that can produce new plants through asexual reproduction
Corms
The formation of mature seeds without fertilization occuring; a type of asexual reproduction
Apomixis
Any form of reproduction where offspring inherit DNA from only one parent.
Asexual Reproduction
An individual that is genetically identical to another individual.
Clones
Any form of reproduction in which genes from two parents are combined via fusion of gametes, producing offspring that are gentically distinct from both parents.
Sexual Reproduction
A special two stage type of cell division in which one diploid (2n) parent cell produces haploid (n) cells (gametes); results in halving the chromosome number.
Meiosis
Fusion of the nuclei of two gametes (often haploid) to form a zygote with a nucleus (often diploid)
Fertilization
A haploid reproductive cell that can fuse with another haploid reproductive cell of the opposite sex to form a diploid zygote.
Gametes
The multicellular diploid form that develops by mitotic divisions after fertilization produces a zygote.
Sporophyte
The multicellular haploid form that arises from a single haploid spore and produces gametes by mitosis and cell division.
Gametophyte
A life cycle involving the alternation of a multicellular haploid stage (gametophyte), with a multicellular diploid stage (sporophyte).
Alternation of Generations
