embryo sac
embryo sac A large cell that develops in the
ovule of flowering plants. It is equivalent to the female
gametophyte of lower plants, although it is very much reduced. Typically, it contains eight nuclei formed by division of the
megaspore mother cell (see illustration). The
oosphere (egg cell), which is associated with two
synergid cells to form the
egg apparatus, is fertilized by a male nucleus and becomes the
embryo. The two
polar nuclei fuse with a second male nucleus to form a triploid nucleus that gives rise to the
endosperm. The three remaining nuclei form the
antipodal cells.
