    The document discusses the suspensor, an ephemeral structure found at the radicle end of the proembryo. It grows faster than the embryo during early development and attains its maximum size by the globular or heart stage. The suspensor anchors the embryo in the endosperm, pushing it into a nutritionally favorable environment. It can be long in plants like Loranthaceae where fertilization occurs in the style. The suspensor may contain haustoria and transfer cells that help transport nutrients from the endosperm to support the embryo's development, as evidenced by studies showing protein and RNA accumulation in suspensor cells.

    ON THE TOPIC

    SUSPENSOR

    SUSPENSOR

    It is an ephemeral structure, found at the


    radicular end of the proembryo.
    It grows much faster than the embryo during
    early stages of embryo development.
    And attains its maximum size by the globular
    or early heart-shape stage.
    It shows great variation with regard to its
    size, shape and the number of its
    constituent cells.

    The suspensor anchors the embryo to the


    embryo-sac and pushes it deep into the
    endosperm.
    So, the embryo lies in a nutritionally
    favourable environment.
    In Loranthaceae the embryo-sac grows up to
    various heights in the style.
    The egg is fertilized at the tip of the embryo
    sac in the style.
    Endosperm is formed inside the ovary.
    Suspensor is long in this plant.

    SOME SUSPENSOR TYPES FOUND IN


    ORCHIDS;-

    In 1902, Lloyd had shown the occurrence of


    suspensor haustoria in some Rubiaceae.
    He remarked, The function of the suspensor
    in these forms is therefore, not alone to
    bring the embryo into favourable position
    with relation to the food supply in a
    mechanical sense, but to act as a temporary
    embryonic root.
    They show structural similarities with
    transfer cells involved in the short distance
    transport of materials across the cell
    membrane.

    EVIDENCES WHICH SUPPORT ACTIVE


    INVOLVEMENT OF SUSPENSOR IN THE NUTRITION
    AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE EMBRYO-SAC:

    Prichard (1964) has shown that the primary


    suspensor cell of Stellaria media becomes
    filled with protein bodies which are
    ultimately absorbed by the growing embryo.
    Sussex et al. (1973) showed that in P.
    Coccoineus throughout the development of
    embryo, suspensor cell contains more RNA
    and protein.
