Description
Germination of a lily Lilium (Liliaceae) pollen grain. Once this pollen containing the male gametes has landed on the female stigma of the flower, it begins to germinate. A tube grows out from the pollen grain, down through the stigma to the ovary. The male nuclei pass down this tube, fertilize the ovules and a seed is formed. Magnification is x400 at 35mm.
