Visual lesson 04

Pollination response

See how successful pollen reception and fertilization redirect individual floral development toward embryo and seed formation and can change bract, stigma, and ovary appearance.

Stigma contact

Pollen contact with receptive stigmas is the first visible event, but contact alone does not confirm fertilization.

Knowledge check

Can you explain what the visual is showing?

Practice

What is a major developmental consequence of successful pollination?
