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.
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.
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.
Definition. The stigma is the part of the female reproductive structure of flowering plants where pollen grains land and germinate. It plays a critical role in reproduction by receiving pollen during pollination, which is essential for fertilization and the development of seeds.

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.
