When pollen tube enters through micropyle, the process is called
Porogamy
Chalazogamy
Mesogarny
Apogamy
A.
Porogamy
The pollen tube may enter the ovule by following one of three routes given below:
(a) Porogamy Pollen tube enters the ovule through micropyle, e.g., most angiosperms.
(b) Mesogamy Pollen tube enters the ovule through integuments (e.g., Cucurbita) or through funiculus (e.g., Pistacia).
(c) Chalazogamy Pollen tube enters the ovule through chalazal tissues, e.g., Casuarina, Beta vulgaris, Juglens regia, etc.
