What is plant embryology?

Plant embryology is the study of the development and growth of plant embryos. It involves the study of the process of fertilization, the formation of zygote and the development of the embryo into a mature plant.

The process of plant embryology is initiated by the fusion of male and female gametes, which results in the formation of a zygote. This zygote then undergoes division and differentiation to form the various tissues and organs of the plant embryo. The embryo further develops into the mature plant, which includes roots, stems, leaves and flowers.

Plant embryology is an important subject of study in plant science, as it helps in understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms that regulate the development and growth of plants. It also helps in developing new varieties of plants that are better adapted to different environmental conditions.
