Events leading to fertilisation; double fertilisation and triple fusion and their significance
Post-fertilisation events: endosperm types (cellular, nuclear, helobial); perisperm; embryo development in dicots and monocots
Seeds: internal structure of dicot (bean) and monocot (maize) seeds; albuminous and non-albuminous seeds
Fruits: true and false fruits; L.S. of mango and coconut; significance of seed and fruit formation and seed dispersal
Special modes: apomixis, polyembryony and parthenocarpy
