Each growing ovule is seen attached to the pod wall via a funiculus, and the ovule has initiated a curved and bent orientation. |
In only one pollination did a pollen tube appear to enter the ovary, but not the ovule. |
For example, low temperatures near flowering affect ovule development and pollen tube growth. |
Tieghem placed Aquifoliaceae near Solanaceae because of the unitegmic ovule and the isomerous stamens alternating with the petals. |
However, at anthesis they appear one above the other, because in one ovule the funicle greatly elongates. |
Ovule position was determined by counting each ovule from the stylar end to the basal end of the ovary. |
