Features: This book primarily uses transmission electron microscope (TEM) images, supplemented by a few light microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, to illustrate the ultrastructure of important stages in the sexual reproduction and development of angiosperms. The book contains a total of 106 plate illustrations, covering the development of anthers and pollen, the development of the pistil, ovules, and ovules, fertilization, and the formation of the embryo and endosperm. There are also descriptive text sections that briefly outline the general process of sexual reproduction in angiosperms, the basic morphological characteristics, and their functional relationships. This book can serve as a supplementary teaching material and reference for college and graduate students studying the embryology of angiosperms. It can also be used as a reference for researchers in plant embryology and plant reproductive biology, as well as for agricultural and forestry breeders.
