Pollen. Pollination. Computer artwork of pollen grains
Pollination. Computer artwork of pollen grains (yellow spiky balls) on the pistil (red) of a flower. Pollen grains contain the male sex cells (gametes) of a flowering plant. The pistil is the flowers female reproductive parts. Once the pollen has landed on the pistil, the male gametes travel to the ovaries (not seen), where they fertilise the female gametes (ovules) to form the seeds that may grow into new plants

Computer Grain Pistil Pollen Grains Pollinating Pollination Re Production Reproductive Stigma Structures
EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork by Science Photo Library showcases the intricate process of pollination. The image depicts vibrant yellow spiky pollen grains delicately scattered on the pistil of a red flower. Each pollen grain contains the male sex cells, or gametes, necessary for fertilization in flowering plants. The pistil, represented in striking red hues, symbolizes the female reproductive parts of the flower. Once these tiny pollen grains have landed on the pistil's surface, they embark on an incredible journey towards the hidden ovaries where fertilization takes place. This crucial step occurs when the male gametes unite with their female counterparts, known as ovules. The resulting fusion gives rise to seeds that hold within them immense potential for new plant growth and propagation. Nature's remarkable ability to sustain life is beautifully captured in this illustration. Through this visually stunning portrayal of botanical structures and processes, Science Photo Library invites us to appreciate both the complexity and elegance inherent in pollination. It serves as a reminder of how interconnected all living organisms are and highlights nature's ingenious mechanisms for reproduction. This artwork not only celebrates scientific knowledge but also showcases artistry at its finest—a perfect blend of science and creativity brought to life through digital technology.
