The fertile, pollen-producing part of a stamen, usually consisting of two lobes (bilobed) and four pollen sacs (tetrasporangiate). FYI: The process of the anther wall rupturing to release mature pollen grains is called dehiscence. A key label in the BioAtlas entry 'Plant Sexuality Comparison'.

FYI: The stigma often secretes sugary substances that stimulate pollen germination and determine pollen-pistil compatibility. The style is the stalk connecting the stigma to the ovary. It serves as a pathway for pollen grains to reach the ovules. FYI: The style is often the part that grows longer to facilitate the movement of pollen towards the stigma. The ovary is the swollen, basal part of the gynoecium that contains one or more ovules. After fertilization, the ovary develops into the fruit. FYI: The type of ovary (e.g., superior or inferior) is a key feature used in plant taxonomy. Ovules are structures located inside the ovary that contain the female gametophyte (egg cell). They are the precursors to seeds. FYI: Pollination leads to the fertilization of the ovule, and the mature ovule develops into a seed.
