The post-fertilization changes that occur in plants include:
Development of Endosperm: The endosperm cell divides to form a triploid endosperm tissue. The cells have reserve food material that provides nutrition to the developing embryo.
Embryo Development: The zygote divides only after a certain amount of endosperm is formed. The endosperm provides nutrition for development.
Development of Seed: The ovule gets transformed into a seed after double fertilization.
Fruit Formation: Fruits are formed by cell division and differentiation in the ovary. The wall of the ovary develops into the wall of the fruit.
