N2 - The ovule is the site of megagametogenesis and fertilization and hence is of central importance to sexual reproduction in seed plants. In recent years, the ovule has become established as an excellent model system in which to study organogenesis. Progress has been made in several aspects of ovule development: the control of ovule identity, the mechanism of primordium outgrowth, early pattern formation and the regulation of integument morphogenesis.
