Description
Wild strawberry flower pistils. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Asian wild strawberry (Potentilla sp.) flower pistils. A pistil is the female reproductive structure, composed of one or more carpels. Each carpel possesses a stigma, style and an ovary. The ovules in the ovary are fertilised by the male sex cells. In the wild strawberry, each fertilised pistil will develop into a seed (achene) embedded in the surface of the berry. Magnification unknown.
