Abstract
The work gives an analysis of the results of comparative and experimental studies of the phenomena of embryoidogenesis and defines its position within the system of reproduction and multiplication of angiosperms. The author introduces a new notion ÉembryoidogenyÉ to denote a specific mode of sporophyte formation, including into it reproductive (embryonic, nucellar, integumental) and vegetative (foliar, rhizogenic and cauligenous) embryoidogeny. Embryoidogenesis is a peculiar mode of the formation and development of a sporophyte (as compared to embyogenesis and gemmorhizogenesis) in homophazic (sporophyte -- sporophyte) reproduction. At the same time, so far as embryoid is a structural unit of reproduction, it appears to be possible to speak about the embryoidogenic type of asexual reproduction and multiplication. Reproduction and multiplication of flowering plants is represented by three types: embryogenic, embryoidogenic and gemmorhizogenic.
