Pistil


Definition:

  • (n.) An epistle.
  • (n.) The seed-bearing organ of a flower. It consists of an ovary, containing the ovules or rudimentary seeds, and a stigma, which is commonly raised on an elongated portion called a style. When composed of one carpel a pistil is simple; when composed of several, it is compound. See Illust. of Flower, and Ovary.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Raised levels of atmospheric water cause a variety of responses in self-pollen, ranging from tube growth through the pistil to the ovary, to tubes inhibited at the stigmatic surface, accompanied by the formation of callose.
  • (2) When applied to sections of the pistil, these antibodies label the intercellular matrix in the stigma and transmitting tissue of the style and the cell walls in the epidermis of the placenta.
  • (3) We describe in this report the allelic diversity and gene structure of the S locus in Solanum tuberosum revealed by the isolation and characterization of genomic and cDNA clones encoding S-associated major pistil proteins from three alleles (S1, Sr1, S2).
  • (4) The label is transferred from pistil to pollen tubes apparently via the secretion products (exudate) of the pistil.
