archegonium central cell and embryo sac central cell
This comment was made by Paula Rudall during the beta review
Central cell; PO: 0020090: The largest cell of the mature embryo sac. Contains two polar nuclei, which (after double fertilization) will develop into the endosperm.
Her comment: in a gymnosperm archegonium, the central cell is the cell that will divide to form the ventral canal cell and the egg cell (see Rudall 2006, Bioessays 28: 1067–1071).
