embryo sacA structure inside the ovule of a flowering plant in which pollination occurs, and in which an embryo begins to develop.
embryogenesisFormation and subsequent development of plumule, radical, and cotyledons in a plant.
When cross-pollination occurs between genetically widely different plants, the resulting embryo may be aborted because of parental mutual incompatibility. Such embryos may be excised and grown on a congenial medium such as nutrient agar.
Embryo
The dormant, immature plant within each seed. The 'germ' referred to in wheat germ.
Epidermis
The outermost layer of cells in herbaceous plants.
embryophyte -- Synonym for the Plantae, as here defined. It includes all green photosynthetic organisms which begin the development of the sporophyte generation within the archegonium.
embryo. The small plantlet within the seeds in almond, the embryo develops into the kernel.
endoparasite. A parasite that lives inside its host.
Proembryo- Embryo in early stages of development, often the stages before the main body and suspensor become distinct.
Propagule- A plant part such as a bud, tuber, root, or shoot used to reproduce (propagate) an individual plant vegetatively.
Plants have embryos that, once they have been fertilized, produce a radical, also called a primary root. Dicots, or dicotyledons, are plants that have two leaves that produce embryos and are the primary producers of taproot systems.
BUD - The embryonic shoot on a stem, branch, or tuber. It is the beginning of a bloom.
Meristem - Embryonic tissue in plant, which allows for indeterminate growth.

Seed-Plant embryo with associated stored food encased in a protective seed coat.
Seed piece-Portion of a potato tuber containing at least one eye that is planted to produce a new potato plant.
Radicle The embryonic root of a seed.
Ranked Foliage Arranged in longitudinal planes around the stem.
Ray flower A flower with a strap-shaped corolla, usually found on the outer edge of a Compositae inflorescence.
Seeds contain an embryo that will develop into the plant and an endosperm or food source for the embryo. The size of seed varies. Generally, the larger the seed the more endosperm it contains and the longer it can survive without food from the soil.
Refers to the post-embryonic stage in the development of an insect, before its metamorphosis into an adult. Examples are a caterpillar, grub or maggot. The larval stage is generally the most destructive period in the insect life cycle.

(AS. saed, seed) the part of a flowering plant that contains the embryo and will develop into a new plant if sown; a fertilized and mature ovule.sepal search for term- n.
Bulbs are basically a storage device that contain the embryo plant as well as the food the new plant needs to grow above ground. They give a quick start to the plant and provide a way of multiplying the planting.
Seeds - consist of an outer coat or wall, which is usually very tough, hard, or woody, within which are cotyledons and the embryo. Seeds normally have just one embryo, but sometimes have more than one, as Citrus spp.
Three of these usually disintegrate, and one divides mitotically and develops into a female gametophyte, also called and embryo sac. The embryo sac contains seven cells with eight haploid nuclei.
As time passes, the zygote becomes the embryo of the new plant. The seeds of flowering plants come in a great variety of sizes, shapes, and textures, but the embryonic plants contained within have the same basic design, ...
Embryo The dormant, immature plant within each seed. Endosperm The food storage tissue within a seed Epiphyte A plant which grows above ground, attaching itself to a tree or rock. Evergreen Retaining leaves for most or all of an annual cycle.
All seeds contain the embryo of the plant, including a radicle (which develops into a root), a tiny stem and one or two cotyledons (the first leaves). For many plants, developing a root system is the first order of business, so be patient! ...
Wash the seeds, and reserve two or three for this experiment: soak them overnight and cut them open so the kids can see the tiny plant embryo inside. For wildlife food, dry them in a single layer on paper towels for an hour or two.
Flower seeds, which are mature ovules of plants, contain an embryo and stored food. Seeds are able to resume growth, or germinate, when the embryonic tissue is allowed to continue growing.
The bulbs you buy in fall already have an embryo flower tucked away inside. This embryo is just waiting to begin growing in the spring.
Hitchcock says, "A leaf of the embryo of a seed". More simply the first leave(s) to appear after the seed germinates and before the true leaves appear.
cuticle
The protective layer of cutin covering the epidermis of plants.
They are cotyledons, part of the embryo of the seed. Cotyledons contain the remainder of the stored food reserves of the seed and keep the seed fed until the true leaves sprout and the plant can begin photosynthesis.
When flower buds on begonias, remove all buds that have winged embryo seed pods behind them (these will be small, single, female flowers).
Seeds are their own energy source, a plant in embryo form. They store energy in a form that is released and used only when water, oxygen, soil, and a close-to-ideal temperature are a part of their surroundings.
This means their flower embryos have been killed, so they're less likely to run to seed or bolt.
Cool temperatures stimulate a biochemical response inside the bulb that "turns on" the embryonic flower so it starts developing. Most bulbs require 16 to 18 weeks of cold before the flower is fully formed.
It later develops a reddish embryonic ring; this is called the "red ring stage". Shortly before hatching, the dark head capsule of the developing larva can be seen; this is called the "black head stage".
Each seed contains a plant embryo that must stay alive until it can germinate. The fresher the seed, the greater the chances that all the seeds will still be viable. Fewer and fewer seeds from a packet will germinate as time passes.
seed A reproductive structure formed from the maturation of an ovule and containing an embryo and stored food.
Indeed, they often start to germinate immediately they
fall from the tree, tiny embryo roots starting to emerge within a matter of days. Clearly
for the best results, immediate sowing is essential.
Avoid making deep scratches that expose the underlying, lighter-colored embryo, and prevent damaging the seeds' growth points by sanding only their sides.
The coronate shoots, cultivated merely to enlarge the provision of wood, are divested of embryo bunches, if they show any, but are trained at full length as they advance during the summer, until they reach the allotted bounds.
