Description
Embryo, the progenitor of the next generation, is endowed with the unique capacity to withstand extreme desiccation and other environmental stresses without losing its viability and sprouts into a new plant under favourable conditions. Several floral structures and intricate processes are involved in the formation of embryo. These include the formation of haploid gametes inside the male (anther) and female (ovary) sex organs, fusion of the gametes of opposite sexes and the development of embryo (embryogenesis) and the nutritive (endosperm) and protective (seed-coat and fruit wall) structures. The sexual cycle in angiosperms has several unique features. For considerable time breeders have attempted, more often unsuccessfully than successfully, to manipulate the embryological processes to achieve their goal of creating improved varieties of plants with new genes.
