Floral Development, Fruit Formation, and Seed Physiology Explained | Chapter 23 of Plant Physiology and Development
Floral Development, Fruit Formation, and Seed Physiology Explained | Chapter 23 of Plant Physiology and Development Flowers, fruits, and seeds represent the culmination of the angiosperm life cycle, and Chapter 23 of Plant Physiology and Development (Sixth Edition) provides a deep exploration of how these reproductive structures develop and function. This chapter connects molecular genetics, plant hormones, pollination biology, and seed physiology into a cohesive framework that explains how plants transition from floral initiation to fruit maturation and ultimately seed dispersal. This expanded article builds on concepts presented in the corresponding Last Minute Lecture video, offering a complete educational resource for students, researchers, and anyone studying plant developmental biology.
