  2. Ovule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovule

    Ovule orientation may be anatropous, such that when inverted the micropyle faces the placenta (this is the most common ovule orientation in flowering plants), amphitropous, campylotropous, or orthotropous (anatropous are common and micropyle is in downward position and chalazal end in on the upper position hence, in amphitropous the anatropous ...

  3. Ovary (botany) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovary_(botany)

    The ovules are attached to parts of the interior ovary walls called the placentae. Placental areas occur in various positions, corresponding to various parts of the carpels that make up the ovary. See Ovule#Location within the plant. An obturator is present in the ovary of some plants, near the micropyle of each ovule.

  4. Micropyle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropyle

    Micropyle may refer to: Micropyle (botany) a minute opening in the integument of an ovule of a seed plant. Micropyle (zoology) , a differentiated area of surface in an egg, through which a sperm enters

  5. Pollen tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollen_tube

    The grains are deposited in the micropyle of the ovule of a female cone or megastrobilus, where they mature for up to a year. In conifers and gnetophytes , the pollen germinate to produce a pollen tube that penetrates the megasporangium or nucellus carrying with it sperm nuclei that are transferred to the egg cell in the developing archegonia ...

  6. Double fertilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_fertilization

    This develops within an ovule, enclosed by the ovary at the base of a carpel. Surrounding the megagametophyte are (one or) two integuments, which form an opening called the micropyle. The megagametophyte, which is usually haploid, originates from the (usually diploid) megaspore mother cell, also called the megasporocyte. The next sequence of ...

  7. Seed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed

    The micropyle, a small pore or opening in the apex of the integument of the ovule where the pollen tube usually enters during the process of fertilization. The chalaza, the base of the ovule opposite the micropyle, where integument and nucellus are joined. [8] The shape of the ovules as they develop often affects the final shape of the seeds.

  9. Chalaza - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalaza

    In plant ovules, the chalaza is located opposite the micropyle opening of the integuments. It is the tissue where the integuments and nucellus are joined. Nutrients from the plant travel through vascular tissue in the funiculus and outer integument through the chalaza into the nucellus.
