Anthers
ANTHERS: The summits of the stamens of flowers, in which the pollen or fertilizing dust is produced
POLLEN: The male element in flowering plants; usually a fine dust produced by the Anthers, which, by contact with the stigma effects the fecundation of the seeds. This impregnation is brought about by means of tubes (pollen-tubes) which issue from the pollen grains adhering to the stigma, and penetrate through the tissues until they reach the ovary.
