Pollen is a powdery substance produced by most types of flowers of seed plants for the purpose of sexual reproduction. [1] It consists of pollen grains (highly reduced microgametophytes), which produce male gametes (sperm cells).
18 wrz 2024 · In angiosperms, pollen is produced by the anthers of the stamens in flowers. In gymnosperms, it is formed in the microsporophylls of the microstrobili (male pollen cones). Pollen consists of one or more vegetative cells and a reproductive cell. A pollen grain itself is not the male gamete.

19 sie 2017 · Pollen is a powdery product of seed plants that contains male gametes. It has a double wall of cellulose and sporopollenin, and varies in size, shape and surface features depending on the plant species.
30 lis 2023 · So let's look at how this works in your typical flower. Pollen grains are created through the process of meiosis, during which cells divide and grow in number. The grains of pollen are often located in pollen sacs on the ends of the stamen (the male parts of the flower), which typically surround the carpel (the female
12 kwi 2011 · Pollen is a fine powder made up of microspores produced by male plants. It is also called flower sperm. Pollen carries the male gametes (reproductive cells) of seed plants. Seed plants include both conifers (plants whose seeds grow inside cones) and flowering plants.
Introduction and Definitions. Pollen is the male gametophyte of gymnosperms and angiosperms. Its size ranges from 15 to 200 μm; its shape, when dry, is generally oval or spherical. Pollination is transport of pollen from its site of production to the female landing site.
