Abstract

Double fertilization was first described by Nawashin (1898) and Guignard (1899) and involves the fusion of the two male gametes with the two female gametes within the embryo sac: one fusion initiates embryo formation and a second fusion triggers formation of the secondary endosperm (reviewed in Knox et al, 1986).
