embryo sac
embryo sac The female
gametophyte (an oval structure in the nucellus of the ovule) of flowering plants, formed by the division of the
haploid megaspore nucleus, and the site of
fertilization of the egg and development of the
embryo. It consists of 6 haploid cells without
cell walls (2
synergidae, 3
antipodal cells, and an egg cell) and 2 haploid nuclei (polar nuclei). Sometimes the 2 haploid, polar nuclei fuse to form a single,
endosperm moter cell. At fertilization, 1 male nucleus fuses with the egg nucleus to form a
zygote which develops into the embryo. The second male nucleus fuses with the primary endosperm nucleus to form the endosperm nucleus. This then divides to form the endosperm. See also
DOUBLE FERTILIZATION.
