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.

Locules are chambers within the ovary of the flower and fruits. The locules contain the ovules (seeds), and may or may not be filled with fruit flesh. Depending on the number of locules in the ovary, fruits can be classified as uni-locular (unilocular), bi-locular, tri-locular or multi-locular.
Ovule Arrangement. The arrangement of ovules within the ovary can be classified into different types, such as axile, parietal, basal, or free-central. This arrangement affects the development and positioning of the seeds within the ovary, further influencing the shape and structure of the fruit.
22 paź 2024 · The angiosperms are vascular seed plants in which the ovule (egg) is fertilized and develops into a seed in an enclosed hollow ovary. The ovary itself is usually enclosed in a flower, that part of the angiospermous plant that contains the male or female reproductive organs or both.
In seed plants, the ovule is the structure that gives rise to and contains the female reproductive cells. It consists of three parts: the integument, forming its outer layer, the nucellus (or remnant of the megasporangium), and the female gametophyte (formed from a haploid megaspore) in its center.
28 kwi 2017 · The ovule is part of the makeup of the female reproductive organ in seed plants. It’s the place where female reproductive cells are made and contained, and it is what eventually develops into a seed after fertilization, only for the seed to then ripen and produce a complete adult plant.
Ovule, plant structure that develops into a seed when fertilized. A mature ovule consists of a food tissue covered by one or two future seed coats, known as integuments. The ovules of angiosperms are enclosed by an ovary, while those of gymnosperms are uncovered on the scales of a cone.
