The small opening in a plant ovule through which the pollen tube passes in order to effect fertilisation
minute opening in the wall of an ovule through which the pollen tube enters
A small seed surface opening usually found in dicot seeds where the pollen tube entered the ovule
The opening in a ripe seed through which moisture may enter prior to germination.
a small opening in the integument at the apex of a seed through which either pollen (gymnosperms) or the pollentube (angiosperms) enters
A small canal in the integument surrounding the ovule of a flowering plant, through which the pollen tube usually enters the ovule on the way to the embryo sac. Water enters the seed via the micropyle prior to germination.
Opening or mouth (orifice)of a ovule.
a small canal through the integument(s) of an ovule, persisting as a pore in the seed coat.
an opening in the surface of a plant ovule through which the pollen tube passes.
The micropyle is the small pore in a seed that that allows water absorption.
