		Archegonium ready for fertilization; a passage leads the form of a narrow flask with a long neck.
		Each antheridium or archegonium arises from a single cell, and while the mature structure is similar in the two groups, the development presents differences in liverworts and mosses.
		Fertilization is effected by the passage of a spermatozoid, attracted probably by means of a chemical stimulus, down the passage of the archegonial neck and its fusion with the ovum.

		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).

		The narrow neck of the flask-shaped archegonium is visible on the left.
		The zygote is located in the archegonium (where the egg was) and when it begins to undergo mitosis, a 2N mass of cells, the embryo or immature sporophyte, is formed.
		The sperm swim to the archegonium in a film of water and fuse with the egg to produce a zygote.

	Archegonium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An archegonium (pl: archegonia), from the ancient Greek αρχη (beginning) and γονος (offspring), is a multicellular structure or organ of the gametophyte phase of certain plants producing and containing the ovum or female gamete.
		The archegonium has a long neck and a swollen base.
		Archegonia are typically located on the surface of the plant thallus, although in the horned liverworts they are embedded.

		Each archegonium is a flask-shaped structure, provided with a multi cellular stalk at the base.
		The neck of the archegonium is very long and there are many neck canal cells.
		Inside the archegonium and situated in the centre, is the egg (or) ovum.

	Lecture 10
		The zygote divides by mitosis to form the multicellular sporophyte, which grows out of the archegonium, but remains dependent on the gametophyte.
		One of the sperms trapped in the gelatinous material around the archegonium enters and fertilizes the egg, producing a 2 N zygote.
		The zygote divides by mitosis to produce a developing sporophyte embryo, protected by a structure derived from the archegonium call the calyptra.

	Bryophytes
		After fertilization, the sporophyte grows out of the archegonium, and nutrients for the developing sporophyte are provided by the gametophyte.
		The sporophyte consists of a foot, anchored in the archegonium, a seta, or stalk, which elevates the sporangium, or capsule.
		The sporophyte is a simple club-shaped sporangium which grows from a basal foot embedded in the archegonium.

	Mosses and Liverworts in Wales: Archegonia
		Above the egg cell run a line of canal cells, enclosed by a single layer of neck cells.
		When the archegonium is mature, the canal cells disintegrate leaving a mucus-like substance through which the male antherozoids (released from antheridia) swim to reach the egg cell.
		Successful fertilisation leads to the formation of the sporophyte generation - consisting of a spore-bearing capsule and its seta which remain attached to the parent gametophyte plant.

	BRYOPHYTES AND FERNS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-04)
		The antheridia produce flagellated sperm that swim to the archegonia and fertilize the eggs to form the diploid (2N) zygote.
		The zygote eventually develops into a mature sporophyte that remains attached to the archegonium on the undersurface of the archegoniophore.
		The archegonia can be identified as the dark spots near the "notch of the heart," however, the antheridia, which develop near the point of the heart, may not be identifiable.

		The megagametophyte develops inside the nucellus and eventually produces an archegonium which is composed of just a few cells, one of which is the egg cell..
		The male cone produces pollen sacs (microsporangia) and meiosis (of the microsporocyte) produces a tetrad of microspores which mature into pollen grains.
		Fertilization occurs when the sperm nucleus migrates down the pollen tube into the archegonium and finally fuses with the egg nucleus.

	Spore production in two common Bryophytes
		retention of the zygote and developing embryo within the archegonium on the female sporophyte
		While many do have water conducting tissues, these are not lignified, and are thus not xylem and phloem.
		After fertilization of the haploid egg within the archegonium by the flagellated sperm, the diploid zygote then undergoes mitosis to form a multicellular, diploid sporophyte.

	Bryopsids
		The archegonium exudes a chemical that attracts sperms cells that swim down the neck to the egg.
		Finally, the growth of the sporophyte outpaces that of the expanding archegonium and the archegonium splits into a top and bottom piece.
		The top part of the old archegonium covers the sporangium until close to maturity and is called the calyptra.

	Mosses and Ferns
		Plants grow by mitosis, and reproduce by meiosis and alternation of generations with special adaptations of the gametes and embryos to survive in a non-aquatic environment.
		The male gametangium is called an antheridium (anthe = flower), while the female gametangium is an archegonium (arche = first, beginning; goni = seed).
		The eggs are fertilized within the female archegonium to reduce desiccation, and often stay within the archegonium to continue their development.

		Plants, excluding the green algae, have the following synapomorphies: 1) alternation of generations lifecycle, 2) apical cell growth, 3) cuticle, 4) antheridium (male reproductive), and 5) archegonium (female reproductive).
		Land plants are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that are autotrophic (produce their own food by photosynthesis), possess chlorophyll, and have cell walls containing cellulose.
		Characteristics that distinguish land plants from the other Chlorobionta are parenchyma, apical cell growth, cuticle, antheridium, and archegonium.

	Review of Algae, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes- Common Links between each groupof Plants
		The algae can be described as non-vascular, non-embryophytic plants; meaning that they lack xylem, phloem and perhaps most importantly, an archegonium.
		Within the green algae, there is a class called the Charophyceae which is believed to be closely related to the embryophytes because they tend to be oogamous and have phragmoplastic cell division which are also traits found in the embryophytes.
		Two genera, Chara and Coleochaete are thought to be particularly close in relation to an embryophyte common ancestor, because they have other features one might find in a ancestor to the embryophytes: tissues which can be Parenchymatous, and a pseudo-archegonium; which functions similarly to a true archegonium, yet lacks features found in true archegonia.
