Morning glory pollen grains. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of pollen grains (balls) on the pistil (female reproductive parts) of a morning glory flower (Ipomoea sp.). Pollen grains contain the male sex cells (gametes) of a flowering plant. Once the pollen has landed on the pistil,the male gametes travel to the ovaries where they fertilise the female gametes (ovules). Morning glory is a climbing plant often grown up walls and trellises in gardens. Magnification: x480 at 6x7cm size | |
