Question

What are the fate of different floral parts after fertilization?

Answer 1

Floral parts:

1. The different floral parts are the pedicel (or peduncle), receptacle, sepals (calyx), petals (corolla), perianth, filament, anther, stamen (androecium), ovary, ovule, style, stigma, and pistil (gynoecium)
2. Stamens, style, petals, and stigma wither and fall off in most cases.
3. The calyx may remain intact in a dry and shriveled state or it may fall off.
4. Ovary will be transformed into a fruit covered by fruit wall formed due to transformation of ovarian wall. The fruit wall can be fleshy, dry or hard.
5. Ovules will be transformed into seeds.
