Function of filiform apparatus is to:The filiform apparatus is a set of finger-like cellular thickenings at the micropylar tip of the synergids. It guides the pollen tube into the synergid.
2011 AIPMT-PRE 1 question
-
Filiform apparatus is a characteristic feature ofThe egg apparatus at the micropylar end of the embryo sac consists of one egg cell and two synergids.
The synergids have special cellular thickenings (finger-like projections) at the micropylar tip, called the filiform apparatus.
The filiform apparatus plays an important role in guiding the pollen tube into the synergid.
The egg, the zygote and the suspensor do not have this structure.
Hence the filiform apparatus is a characteristic feature of the synergid.
