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. Description. Stigma of a Tulipa species, with pollen. Closeup of stigma surrounded by stamens of Lilium 'Stargazer')
11 cze 2004 · Here, we first survey advances in the cellular and molecular understanding of angiosperm pollen and stigma biology, including pollen–stigma adhesion, pollen hydration and germination, and pollen tube emergence and invasion.
stigma. 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.
Definition. 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. The stigma's surface is often sticky or feathery, aiding in the effective collection of pollen from pollinators or the ...
Pollen and stigma structure and function: the role of diversity in pollination. Plant Cell. 2004;16 Suppl (Suppl):S84-97. doi: 10.1105/tpc.015800. Epub 2004 Apr 9.
The stigma is a specially adapted portion of the pistil modified for the reception of pollen. It may be feathery and branched or elongated, as in such wind-pollinated flowers as those of the grasses, or it may be compact and have a sticky surface.
