Embryo sac (English spelling) embryosac

Japanese: embryo sac(英語表記)embryosac
Embryo sac (English spelling) embryosac

…The male gametophyte is small (several cells in gymnosperms, three cells in angiosperms) and is produced in the pollen grain, where it germinates into a pollen tube. The female gametophyte is larger (usually eight cells in angiosperms, but much larger in gymnosperms) and is produced in the ovule, called the endosperm in gymnosperms and the embryo sac in angiosperms. Very few fossil gametophytes are known, but some primitive vascular plants are thought to have had gametophytes that were nearly identical in shape to the sporophyte. …

From 【Eggs】

…In algae and fungi, it is a unicellular female gametosac. In mosses and vascular plants, it is formed in the oogonium, at the base of the multicellular archegonium. In angiosperms, which lack the archegonia, one of the eight cells that make up the embryo sac becomes an egg, and it is located at the orifice of the embryo sac along with a synergid cell. Eggs are produced from oocytes by somatic cell division, but in diplomorphic plants such as the seaweed, they are produced through meiosis. …

Japanese:

…雄性配偶体は小さく(裸子植物では数細胞,被子植物では3細胞),花粉中につくられ,発芽して花粉管になる。雌性配偶体はそれよりも大きく(被子植物ではふつう8細胞,裸子植物はもっと大きい),胚珠の中につくられ,裸子植物では胚乳,被子植物では胚囊embryo sacと呼ばれる。配偶体の化石はほとんど知られていないが,原始的な維管束植物で,胞子体とほぼ同形の配偶体があったと推定されているものがある。…

【卵】より

…藻類や菌類では単細胞性の雌性配偶子囊である。生卵器oogoniumの中に,コケ植物や維管束植物では多細胞性の造卵器archegoniumの底部につくられるが,造卵器を欠く被子植物では,胚囊embryo sacをつくるふつう8細胞のうちの一つが卵になり,助細胞を伴って胚囊の珠口側に位置する。卵は卵母細胞から体細胞分裂によってできるが,カサノリなどのように複相の植物体の場合は,減数分裂を経てできる。…
