Abstract: The formation and development of embryo sac in the diploid and its autotetraploid of rice cultivar IR36 was examined using Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy.Some particular types of embryo sacs,such as those with three-nucleare,six-nucleare and nine-nucleare,and degenerated ones,were found in diploid rice.These types of embryo sacs were not reported before.The mechanism for the formation of these specific embryo sacs is not clear and needs to be studied further.Our results provide some scientific references for better understanding the development of rice embryo sac.
