Topic: Antheridium


  
  Antheridium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An antheridium (plural: antheridia) is a structure or organ of the gametophyte phase of certain plants producing and containing the spermatids or male gametes.
The female counterpart to the antheridium is the archegonium.
In mosses, the antheridium is borne on an antheridiophore.

The Archegonium and Antheridium reside on the underside of this gametophyte (n).
Both the Archegonium (female) and the Antheridium (male) can be found on the underside of the leaf.
Sperm (n) from the Antheridium uses flagella to swim through water to an egg (n) in the Archegonium and then proceeds to fertilize the egg, producing a zygote (2n).

Each gametangium is multinucelate and transfer of the nuclei from the antheridium to the ascogonium is made possible by the formation of a trichogyne, a tubular structure originating from the ascogonium that fuses with the antheridium.
Figure 1: Nuclei from the antheridium are transported into the ascogonium through the trichogyne, which originates from the ascogonium.
Figure 2: Migration of nuclei from ascogonium to antheridium, via the trichogyne, is completed and nuclei from antheridum are paired paired off with those from the ascogonium.

The sperm are released when the antheridium ruptures, thus allowing them to swim freely in a water film.
After fertilization, many divisions form a multicellular embryo which is nourished by the gametophyte.
Sperm leave antheridium only when moisture is present for them to swim in.

The sexual apparatus is composed of an antheridium surrounded by a coiled ascogonium arising from the same or different hyphae.
A loose network of hyphae surrounds the ascogenous hyphae and asci, and the ascospores are variously shaped.
The antheridium is usually surrounded by a coiled ascogonium.
