  • Chapter
Embryology of Angiosperms

Abstract

In angiosperms a reduction of the gametophyte is manifest. After meiosis small gametophytes are formed with a low number of cells on a high level of differentiation. The microgametophyte produces two sperm cells and, in the macrogametophyte, one egg cell is formed.
