The pollen tube with its contents makes up the mature male gametophyte generation.
Double fertilization
The pollen tube enters the ovule through the micropyle and ruptures.

From each pollen grain, a pollen tube grows out attempting to travel into the ovary by creating a path. The vegetative and generative nuclei of the pollen grain pass into its respective pollen tube.
