Pollen tube subsequent pollination (transfer of pollen grains to the pistil, the female reproductive organ). Transfer of pollen is usually carried out by wind, water, or animals . The ovaries hold the ovules that produce the female gamete: the egg cell, which waits in place for fertilization. Once a pollen grain settles on a compatible pistil, it may germinate in response to a sugary fluid secreted by the mature stigma. Lipids at the surface of the stigma may also stimulate pollen tube growth for compatible pollen. Plants that are self-sterile often inhibit the pollen grains from their own flowers from growing pollen
