Diagram showing the stigma-style-ovary system of the female reproductive organ of a plant. The stigma is fixed to the apex of the style, a narrow upward extension of the ovary. The stigma (pl.: stigmas or stigmata) [1] is the receptive tip of a carpel, or of several fused carpels, in the gynoecium of a flower.

1. The receptive tip of the carpel, which receives pollen at pollination and on which the pollen grain germinates. The stigma is adapted to catch and trap pollen, either by combing pollen off visiting insects or by various hairs, flaps, or sculpturings. The stigmas of certain plants show haptotropic movements.
Stigma is the part of a flower's pistil that receives pollen during fertilization. It plays a crucial role in the reproductive process by capturing pollen grains, which are essential for the fertilization of ovules.
11 cze 2004 · Defines stigmas as uniquely water-permeant sites on the plant; proteins and lipids are involved in adhesion, hydration, and germination; dry stigmas are pollen compatibility sites, with selective support of pollen hydration and germination, whereas wet stigmas often are covered in exudates from apoptotic cells and block inappropriate ...
