nucellus
Nucellus is the central part of the ovule, a plant structure in seed plants that produces female gametes and, upon fertilization, develops into a seed. It is also referred to as the megasporangium, where mega-spores are generated and one of these will eventually develop into the female gametophyte, also known as the embryo sac. The nucellus is crucial for plant reproduction and seed formation.
