Gymnosperm endosperm – female gametophyte
In angiosperms, gametophytic
cells fuse to form the triploid
(3n) endosperm and the diploid
(2n) zygote.
In gymnosperms, a diploid
zygote is also formed but
rather than forming a triploid
endosperm, this group of plants
stores food as the haploid (1n)
female
gametophyte
(see
Chapter 4).
