female reproductive system plants






The Female Reproductive Organs: The pistil is the collective term for the carpel(s). Each carpel includes an ovary (where the ovules are produced; ovules are the female reproductive cells, the eggs), a style (a tube on top of the ovary), and a stigma (which receives the pollen during fertilization).

Most plants have both female and male reproductive organs inside the same flower; thus, they can produce both sperm and eggs. This kind of flowers are called hermaphrodites and among these are some of the best-known plants, such as tomatoes, roses or peppers.

Perfect flowers are those that have both male (stamen) and female (pistil) reproductive structures. They produce both male and female gametes and they are capable of receiving male gametes (pollen) from other flowers. Other perfect flowers still rely on cross-pollination for reproduction.

The basis of development of modern medicine is rooted in traditional medicine and therapies. Many studies have been done on the female contraception. The traditional use of medicinal plants to treat different sorts of diseases, including fertility related problems isa cause of sexual selection acting on males that was independent of mating system and probably inherent in the mechanics of sexual reproduction (194 p Male parental care even become a limiting resource for female reproductive success in some species
