These constitute the final events of the process of reproduction. They are as follows:

  • After triple fusion, the primary endosperm nucleus develops into an endosperm (the nutritive tissue).

  • This endosperm serves as nourishment for the developing embryo.
  • After the formation of the endosperm and the zygote, the synergids and antipodal cells degenerate.
  • The ovule develops into the seed.
  • Ovary grows in size to form fruit.
  • The wall of the ovary becomes the wall of the fruit.
  • The integuments of the ovule develop into the seed coat.
