- W2111635170 abstract "• Premise of the study: The female gametophyte of Welwitschia has long been viewed as highly divergent from other members of the Gnetales and, indeed, all other seed plants. However, the formation of female gametes and the process of fertilization have never been observed. • Methods: Standard histological techniques were applied to study gametophyte development and the fertilization process in Welwitschia . • Key results: In Welwitschia , fertilization events occur when pollen tubes with binucleate sperm cells grow down through the nucellus and encounter prothallial tubes, free nuclear tubular extensions of the micropylar end of the female gametophyte that grow up through the nucellus. Entry of a binucleate sperm cell into a vacuolate prothallial tube appears to stimulate the rapid coagulation of cytoplasm around a single female nucleus, which differentiates into an egg cell. One sperm nucleus enters the female gamete, while the second sperm nucleus remains outside and ultimately degenerates. Only a single fertilization event occurs per mating pair of pollen tube and prothallial tube. • Conclusions: Welwitschia lacks the gnetalean pattern of regular double fertilization, as found in Ephedra and Gnetum , involving sperm from a single pollen tube to yield two zygotes. Moreover, an analysis of character evolution indicates that the female gametophyte of Welwitschia is highly apomorphic both among seed plants, and specifically within Gnetales, but also shares several key synapomorphies with its sister taxon Gnetum . Finally, the biological role of prothallial tubes in Welwitschia is examined from the perspectives of gamete competition and kin conflict." @default.
