The tiny Corn plant, called embryo or germ, which we find in the Corn kernel, does not look much like the plant that bears tassel and ears. From the embryo to the flower and seed stage, many things take place. The series of events which take place in the development of the embryo to a mature plant constitutes the life cycle of a plant.

Starting from. FiQ. 1. — Life cycle as illustrated by the Corn plant, a, mature kernel; 6, germination; c, seedling stage; d, mature plant composed of roots, stems, leaves, and flowers, all of which are composed of tissues having special func- tions to perform; e, the two kinds of flowers with pollination indicated; /, fertilization indicated by the two globular bodies, sperm and egg, on the inside of the ovary or portion that develops into the kernel. After ferti- lization the ovary develops into another kernel and thus the life cycle is completed. the seed, this series of events consists of germination, develop- ment of seedling with its different organs and tissues, develop- ment of root, stem bud, and leaf structures of the more mature plant, development of flowers, pollination and fertilization, and development of other kernels. The life cycle of any Flowering Plant is similar to that of the Corn, Thus it is seen that the life.
