After properly suitable pollination, pollen grain germinates on anther and out of all germpores, pollen tube is produced in one of the germpore. The fluid of pollen grain along with two nuclei located in pollen grain reaches to pollen tube. Pollen tube grows by passing from the tissue of anther. When it enters into embryo sac by micropyle at that time pollen tube enters by filiform appraratus then a synergid cell decomposes.

Pollen tube breaks to release its material located in pollen tube. Two male gametes are released. Among them one does syngamy with egg cell and other male gemete perform syngamy with central cell thus is gets fertilised.

Two synergid cells, an egg cell and filiform apparatus are present as parts of egg apparatus located in embryo sac.
