एक पौधे की संरचना जो मेगास्पोर्स का उत्पादन करती है

megasporangium's Usage Examples:

The megasporangium is enclosed in an a A"° cu integument, which completely envelopes it, leaving only a narrow micropyle at the distal end (fig.

Each sporophyll bears a megasporangium, attached to its upper surface at the proximal end, containing a single large megaspore (fig.

In this fructification the organization is at first altogether that of a Lepidostrobus; in each megasporangium, however, only a single megaspore came to maturity, occupying almost the whole of the sporangial cavity (see fig.

The single large megaspore contained in each megasporangium produces a small prothallus, which bears one or a few archegonia; these are exposed on the surface of the prothallus at the summit of the germinated megaspore (fig.

The seed, which need not be described in further detail, was a highly organized structure, showing little trace of the cryptogamic megasporangium from which we must suppose it to have been derived.

The megaspores, of which there are many in the megasporangium, have a diameter about three times that of the microspores.

These are with few exceptions foliar structures, known in comparative morphology as sporophylls, because they bear the spores, namely, the microspores or pollen-grains which are developed in the microsporangia or pollen-sacs, and the megaspore, which is contained in the ovule or megasporangium.

The latter are more numerous in the microsporangium than in the megasporangium.

In some of the heterosporous forms (Lepidocarpon, Miadesmia) the sporangia were sometimes surrounded by an integument; and since only a single megaspore attained maturity, the structure of the megasporangium suggests a comparison with an ovule.

In the megasporangium, on the other hand, the four megaspores, which arise from a single mother-cell, are nourished at the expense of the other sporogenous cells and of the tapetum.

megasporangium's Meaning':

a plant structure that produces megaspores
