Abstract: In this experiment,scaning electronic microscope is used to observe the development of ovules of tomato,sweet pepper and eggplant.The result shows that nucellar forms on the embryonal foot at first,then integument grows up around it and slowly wraps up the nucellar,which makes an inverted ovule.On the later developing stages,ovules of tomato give a oblate shape and that of sweet pepper a water drop,of eggplant ellipse.The ovules of eggplant and sweet pepper grow first in the length,then eggplant from the blooming period,sweet pepper from the later blooming period,grow more in the breadth.Shape index of ovules between tomato and eggplant shows little difference.Ovules of sweet pepper inflate all the period while the fruit is growing.
