  2. Ovule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovule

    Location of ovules inside a Helleborus foetidus flower. 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.

    Diagram of an ovule in gymnosperms and angiosperms Photomicrograph of an ovule of a monocotyledon. In angiosperms the gynoecium, also called pistil, consists of one or more carpels or carpel leaves that form a cavity, the ovary, inside which the ovules or seminal primordia are protected from both desiccation and attack by phytophagous insects.

  4. Ovary (botany) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovary_(botany)

    A fruit is the mature, ripened ovary of a flower following double fertilization in an angiosperm.Because gymnosperms do not have an ovary but reproduce through fertilization of unprotected ovules, they produce naked seeds that do not have a surrounding fruit, this meaning that juniper and yew "berries" are not fruits, but modified cones.

  5. Seed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed

    Plant ovules: Gymnosperm ovule on left, angiosperm ovule (inside ovary) on right. After fertilization, the ovules develop into the seeds. The ovule consists of a number of components: The funicle (funiculus, funiculi) or seed stalk which attaches the ovule to the placenta and hence ovary or fruit wall, at the pericarp.

  6. Flower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower

    A flower, also known as a bloom or blossom, [1] is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Angiospermae).Flowers consist of a combination of vegetative organs – sepals that enclose and protect the developing flower.

  7. Flowering plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowering_plant

    The term angiosperm fundamentally changed in meaning in 1827 with Robert Brown, when angiosperm came to mean a seed plant with enclosed ovules. [35] [36] In 1851, with Wilhelm Hofmeister's work on embryo-sacs, Angiosperm came to have its modern meaning of all the flowering plants including Dicotyledons and Monocotyledons.

    (of an ovule) Inverted so that the micropyle faces the placenta (this is the most common ovule orientation in flowering plants). Contrast amphitropous, campylotropous, and orthotropous. ancipital Flat, with two edges (versus round). [19] androdioecious

  9. Plant reproductive morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproductive_morphology

    Close-up of a Schlumbergera flower, showing part of the gynoecium (specifically the stigma and part of the style) and the stamens that surround it. Plant reproductive morphology is the study of the physical form and structure (the morphology) of those parts of plants directly or indirectly concerned with sexual reproduction.
