In angiosperms, double fertilization is the peculiar characteristic. Double fertilization results in the formation of diploid zygote as well as triploid endosperm. Hence, the name 'double fertilization'. Diploid secondary polar nuclei fuses with the male gamete which is haploid in nature causing the formation of triploid endosperm. Thus, the name triple fusion.

1. Food, primarily SUCROSE, is transported by vascular tissue phloem from source to sink. 2. Source : Leaf (synthesise food), roots (storage) 3. Sink: Where needed or stored (buds of trees) 4. Since source - sink relation is variable, so direction of movement of phloem can be bi-directional. 5. Phloem sap is mainly water and sucrose, but other sugars, hormones and amino-acids are also translocated through phloem. 6. GIRDLING EXPERIMENT (i) Identifies the tissues through which food is transported. (ii) It shows that phloem is the tissue responsible for food translocation. (iii) And transport takes place in one direction, i.e. towards the roots

NaCl is returned to the interstiged transported back to the intersfuim by the collecting tubule. The above described transport of substances facilitated by the special arrangement of Henle's loop and vasa recta is called the counter current mechanism (Figure. 19.6). This mechanism helps to maintain a corterntration gradient
