These hypotheses can be tested with the wide array of species studied in our laboratory, covering all families of basal angiosperms, including the ANITA grade, magnoliids and the basal grades of monocots and eudicots (Igersheim and Endress, 1997, 1998; Endress and Igersheim, 1998, 1999, 2000a; Igersheim et al., 2001). As angiosperm phylogeny becomes increasingly resolved, the evolution of ovules can be traced in ever more detail. In addition, a zig-zag micropyle is pronouncedly differentiated in Dilleniaceae, a family earlier thought to be basal in angiosperms (Stebbins, 1974). (f) How was the evolution of ancestral anatropy in angiosperms co-ordinated with the evolutionary advent of the closed carpel? Location within the plant. megaspore (a). Meiosis takes place in the ovule (a structure within the ovary that is located within the pistil at the centre of the flower) (see diagram labeled "Angiosperm lifecycle"). The basic structure of all angiosperm consists of a stem, roots, and leaves. The ovule has an unusual position in the centre of the unilocular ovary formed by two carpels. The ovary, ovule and embryo sac are a complex integrated system. They are bitegmic, except for the unitegmic Ceratophyllaceae, another reduced water plant family. However, these preliminary results on basal angiosperms lend some support to the view that lobes on the rim of integuments in angiosperms are not remnants of ancient organs but merely the result of a developmental necessity for the closure of the micropyle, as discussed above. Result: of the 124 taxa with two integuments studied, in 34 taxa both integuments form the micropyle. They wrap the flower before it opens. If one considers the cupule of Corystospermaceae to be homologous with the angiosperm ovule, then the outer integument becomes homologous with the cupule wall and the inner one with the single integument of Caytonia ovule as well as with the ovule of other gymnosperms.

However, ovules are bitegmic in Berberidopsidales, Caryophyllales and in the only weakly reduced, basal sub-clades of Santalales and in some Ericales. Of those, in 14 the inner integument is lobed, in 13 the outer integument is lobed (38 % of all). Illustration about Structure of ovule of angiosperm plants with megagametophyte isolated on white background. Ovules are predominantly curved, with a tendency to campylotropy and zig-zag micropyle in Fabales (many Fabaceae, Surianaceae) and malvids (some Geraniales, Myrtales, Crossosomatales, core Brassicales, a few Malvales) (Endress, 2010). P. K. Endress, s.n., 27 IX 1990, Botanic Garden, University of Zurich. The preponderance of narrow micropyles at the time around fertilization indicates that it is important for a successful functioning. A recent review showed that also in the Caryophyllales and Santalales, newly acquired orders of the asterid alliance, the nucelli are relatively thin, even if they are crassinucellar, such as in Caryophyllales (Endress, 2010, 2011).
