Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 The chalaza Pron en k le z from Greek language Greek Polytonic hailstone plural chalazas or chalazae is a structure inside animal egg biology egg s and plant ovule s. It attaches or suspends the yolk or nucellus within the larger structure. In Animals In animal eggs, the chalaza is composed of one or two spiral bands of tissue that suspend the yolk in the center of the white. It acts similar to an umbilical cord in mammals the growing embryo receives its nutrients from the yolk. The purpose of the chalaza is to hold the yolk in place. For culinary use of eggs, particularly in baking, the chalaza is sometimes removed in order to ensure a uniform texture. In Plants In plant ovules, the chalaza is located opposite the micropyle opening of the integuments. It is the tissue where the integuments and nucellus are joined. Nutrients from the plant travel through vascular tissue in the funiculus and outer integument through the chalaza into the nucellus. During the development of the embryo sac inside a flowering plant ovule, the three cells at the chalazal end become the antipodal cells. Chalazogamy In most flowering plants, the pollen tube enters the ovule through the micropyle opening in the integuments for fertilization. In chalazogamous fertilization, the pollen tube s penetrate the ovule through the chalaza rather than the micropyle opening. Chalazogamy was first discovered in monoecious plant species of the Casuarinaceae family, but has since then also been observed in others, for example in pistachio and walnut .
