The style is a hollow tube in some plants, such as lilies, or has transmitting tissue through which the pollen tubes grow. [15] The stigma (from Ancient Greek στίγμα, stigma, meaning mark or puncture) is usually found at the tip of the style, the portion of the carpel(s) that receives pollen (male gametophytes). It is commonly sticky or ...
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 .
Urtica dioica is a dioecious, herbaceous, and perennial plant. It grows to 0.9 to 2 metres (3 to 7 feet) tall in the summer and dying down to the ground in winter. [6] It has widely spreading rhizomes and stolons, which are bright yellow, as are the roots.
The pistil may be made up of one carpel or of several fused carpels (e.g. dicarpel or tricarpel), and therefore the ovary can contain part of one carpel or parts of several fused carpels. Above the ovary is the style and the stigma, which is where the pollen lands and germinates to grow down through the style to the ovary, and, for each ...
Herbaceous plants (also called herbs or forbs): a plant whose structures above the surface of the soil, vegetative or reproductive, die back at the end of the annual growing season, and never become woody. While these structures are annual in nature, the plant itself may be annual, biannual, or perennial. Herbaceous plants that survive for more ...

The first experiment compares the features of the pistil and the stigma of rmd-1 mutant (rice plant without a functional RMD) and the wild-type rice plant (with a functional RMD). The anther and pistil were shorter in the rmd-1 mutants than the wild-type. This experiment showed that RMD is critical for pollen development.
Narcissus is a genus of perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes, which die back after flowering to an underground storage bulb.They regrow in the following year from brown-skinned ovoid bulbs with pronounced necks, and reach heights of 5–80 centimetres (2.0–31.5 in) depending on the species.
