Fertilization in flowering plants involves the fusion of the male and female gametes. Pollinators, such as butterflies, bees and birds, pollinate the ovum or egg and transfer the male gametes to a flower’s female reproductive organs. Pollination occurs between two flowers of the same or different plants or within one flower only.

The fertilization in flowering plants occur through the process of
Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the male parts of plant to the female parts of plant.
__________________________________
→ A flower consists of two parts. One is male part and another is female part.
* Male parts consists of long, stalk part called Filament and upper broad portion called Anther. Anther contains pollen grains.
* Female parts consists of upper broad portion called Stigma. Middle thin part called Style and the lower portion called Ovary. Ovary conatins ovule.
→ When a pollen grain reach the stigma of the flower then it secretes some liquid substance which is absorbed by pollen grain. After it they form a pollen tube which ultimately reach the ovule of the ovary.
→ Now, the two male gamates (pollen grains) start travelling through this pollen tube amd reach the ovule of the ovary, which contains egg and two polar nuclei.
→ When a male gamate fuse with egg then it forms zygote by the process of fertilization and this type of fertilization in plants is known as Syngamy. And when a another male gamate fuse with two polar nuclei, it is known as triple fussion; then it form primary endosperm nucleus.
* Since, the fusion occurs two times. So, this type of fusion is known as as Double Fusion.
→ After is the zygote develops into the embryo and the primary endosperm nucleus into endosperm which provides nourishment to the growing embryo.
* After it the ovule develops into seed and ovary into fruit.
