In the flowering plants, an ovary is a part of the female reproductive organ of the flower or gynoecium. Specifically, it is the part of the pistil which holds the ovule (s) and is located above or below or at the point of connection with the base of the petals and sepals .
Ovary, in botany, enlarged basal portion of the pistil, the female organ of a flower. The ovary contains one or more ovules, which develop into seeds upon fertilization. The ovary itself will mature into a fruit, either dry or fleshy, that encloses the seeds.
If both male and female flowers are borne on the same plant, the species is called monoecious (meaning “one home”): examples are corn and pea. Species with male and female flowers borne on separate plants are termed dioecious, or “two homes,” examples of which are C. papaya and Cannabis. The ovary, which may contain one or multiple ...
Central to plant reproduction is the ovary, a vital organ that plays a crucial role in the formation of seeds and fruits. In this article, we will delve into the definition and function of the ovary in plants, exploring its structure, development, and significance in plant breeding and agriculture.
