Locule
A locule is a small cavity or compartment within an organ or part of an organism. In plants, the term locule usually refers to a chamber within an ovary. Depending on the number of locules in the ovary, carpels and fruits can be classified as uni-locular, bi-locular or multi-locular. For example, angiosperms have two locules in their ovary so they are "bi-locular". The locules contain the ovules or seeds. The term may also refer to chambers within anthers containing pollen. In the Loculoascomycetes, a group of sac fungi, locules are chambers similar to perithecia, but hollowed out from the host tissue rather than being a preformed structure. For this reason, a single locule is referred to as a pseudothecium. Locules do, however, still contain asci,which hold ascospores, as perithecia do.
