As a basic research in Schizandra chinensis Baillon breeding, embryological investigation of female gametophyte formation was carried out on S. chinensis.
The followings are some of the major findings of the research:
1. The carpel is single and the ovary is apocarpous ovary.
2. The placenta is parietal placenta with a carpel and loculut
3. The ovule became amphitropous and the campylotropous.
4. The integument is two and thick integument.
5. The initial cell of nucellus develops and becomes megaspore mother cell.
6. The tetrad of megaspore is linear tetrad.
7. Micropyle megaspore develops and becomes megaspore.
8. The embryo sac is monosporic 4-nucleate Oenothera type.
9. The nucellus in embryo sac disintegrates, degenerates and disappears in the stage of matured embryo sac.
10. The egg apparatus of matured embryo sac is completed at blooming.
