Pea flower pollination, SEM C016 / 0067
Pea flower pollination. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of pollen grains (ovals) on the stigma of a garden pea flower (Pisum sativum). The pollen grains, which contain male genetic material, have become trapped by the stigmas papillae (hair-like structures, green). The stigma is part of the female reproductive structure (pistil), which is formed from one or more carpels. Each carpel consists of a stigma, a style and an ovary (not seen). If the female sex cells (ovules) in the ovary become fertilised by the pollen grains male sex cells, the carpel may ripen to produce a fruit containing seeds

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of pea flower pollination. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are presented with a close-up view of pollen grains delicately scattered on the stigma of a garden pea flower (Pisum sativum). The oval-shaped pollen grains, carrying male genetic material, have become ensnared by the stigmas papillae - hair-like structures that appear vibrant green in this image. The stigma itself is an essential component of the female reproductive structure known as the pistil. Comprised of one or more carpels, each carpel consists of a stigma, style, and ovary (not visible in this image). It is within these ovaries that female sex cells called ovules reside. If fertilization occurs between the male sex cells contained within the pollen grains and the ovules present in the ovary, then remarkable transformations take place. The carpel ripens into a fruit containing seeds - nature's way of ensuring successful reproduction for plants like peas. This visually stunning photograph not only highlights the beauty found within botanical structures but also provides us with valuable insights into plant biology and reproduction. SUSUMU NISHINAGA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has masterfully captured this momentous event using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), allowing us to appreciate both its scientific significance and artistic allure.
