| Description | Double fertilisation presents the more progressive trend in the reproductive system of phylogenetically most advanced gymnosperms. This phenomenon is doubtless closely connected with the origin and powerful evolution od angiosperms.The hybrid character of the endosperm as a nutritional and regulatory tissue for the embryo seems to be not only advantage for the embryo development but also for the adaptability of the sexual progeny to the environmental changes. |
