Bio-12 CH-2 8, 9 PDF

The document summarizes key aspects of sexual reproduction in flowering plants. It describes pollen grains as nutrient-rich structures that can be stored for long periods and used in crop breeding. The female reproductive unit, or pistil, represents the gynoecium and may contain single or multiple carpels. The major parts of the carpel include the stigma, style, and ovary. The ovary contains ovarian cavities separated by septa and placentas from which ovules arise via stalks.

Importance of pollen grain : 
● These are nutrient-rich and thus are taken as food supplements. 
इनम Nutrien चरु मा ा म होता है । अतः इ ह foo supplement के प म लया जाता है । 
● ​pollen grains can be stored for years in liquid nitrogen at - 1960 C to 
be used later in crop breeding programs.

Female reproductive unit : 
● The Pistil or gynoecium represents the female reproductive unit of a flower.  
Pisti या gynoeciu flowe के femal reproductiv uni को represen करती है । 
● The gynoecium may have single pistil ​( called monocarpellary)​, more than 
two pistil ​(called multicarpellary)​, fused pistils​ (called Syncarpous)​ or free  
pistils ​(called apocarpous)  
​ Gynoecium ​monocarpellary​ ( single pistil ) ​multicarpellar (दो से अ धक pistil ), 
Syncarpous ( ​fused pistils ​) or apocarpous ( f​ re pistil ) हो सकती है । 
Major parts of carpel  
 
Parts  functions  

i) Stigma  It receives pollen grains.  


यह polle grain को receiv करता है । 
ii)Style  It is an elongated Slender part beneath the stigma that connects the 
stigma with the ovary. ​यह.elongate  
Slende भाग है जो stigm के नीचे होता है और stigm  
को ovar से जोड़ता है । 
iii)Overy  It is the Basal swollen part Of pistil that contains ovules and eggs 
यह pisti का Basa swolle pa िजसम ovule तथा eg होते ह।

● ​ ​Inside the ovary there is a compartment Called ovarian  
cavity or locule separated by septum​ .  
Ovar म एक compa tmen होता है िजसे Ovaria cavit या locul कहते ह जो 
Septu वारा separate रहते ह।  
● ​ Placenta is the Is the tissue in ovarian cavity from where  
ovule or megasporangium arise. 
P
​ lacent ovaria cavit म एक tissu है जहां से ovul या megasporangiu उ प न होता है ।   
Structure of megasporangium (ovule)​ :   
The ovule is stalked and is attached to the placenta by means of a stolk called funicle. 
Ovul placent से stol (Funicl ) वारा जड़ ु ा होता है ।
