Pre Fertilisation: Structure and Events: Overview
This topic describes the structure and events that occur in the pre-fertilisation stage. It explains microsporogenesis and megasporogenesis in detail. Then, it describes pollination, its types and agents. It also provides brief account of artificial hybridisation.
