This section explores the advanced structural, developmental, and regulatory aspects of plant reproduction. It is designed for advanced Class 11–12 students, NEET aspirants aiming for high scores, and undergraduate learners who want deeper conceptual clarity beyond basic reproductive processes.
In this section, you will study:
Ultrastructure and development of male and female gametophytes
Molecular and hormonal regulation of flowering and reproduction
Detailed mechanisms of pollination and fertilization
Genetic control of self-incompatibility and pollen–pistil interaction
Embryo development, endosperm formation, and seed biology
Apomixis and polyembryony
Evolutionary significance of reproductive adaptations
NCERT-based advanced interpretations and exam-oriented questions
The content is structured to strengthen conceptual depth, enhance analytical thinking, and prepare students to handle higher-difficulty and reasoning-based questions in NEET and undergraduate-level assessments.
Develop a deeper understanding of plant reproduction by linking structural, molecular, and evolutionary perspectives at an advanced level.
