Each carpel has an ovary at the base where ovules are housed. The style emerges from the ovary and is topped by the stigma . Pollen grains land on the stigma and must grow a tube down the style to reach the ovule and complete fertilization.

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.
The ovary is surrounded by the fused bases of flower parts (calyx, corolla, androecium) that surround the ovary. Hypogynous flowers. Other flower parts are attached BELOW the ovary. This is called a superior ovary because the ovary sits above the point of attachment of the top whorl.
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.
Abstract: Ovary anatomy and organography was investigated in five species of Heliconia (Heliconiaceae) and three species of Musa (Musaceae). The ovaries of both genera may be longitudinally divided into three regions: sublocular, locular, and prolongation.
Sexual reproduction takes place with slight variations in different groups of plants. Plants have two distinct stages in their lifecycle: the gametophyte stage and the sporophyte stage. The haploid gametophyte produces the male and female gametes by mitosis in distinct multicellular structures.
The developing ovules are encased within a heart-shaped ovary. This ovary becomes the fruit as seed and embryo development proceeds. As you examine each slide, recall that you are looking at a two-dimensional sample of three-dimensional organisms. You will have to look at all of the developing ovules to find one with an embryo in section.
