 Bentham's Outlines of Botany: Chapter 1: Section 11 - The Pistil
The chalaza is the point of the ovule at which the base of the nucleus is confluent with the coats.
orthotropous or straight, when the chalaza coincides with the base (36) of the ovule, and the foramen is at the opposite extremity, the axis of the ovule being straight.
In this, one of the more frequent forms of the ovule, the chalaza is connected with the base by a cord, called rhaphe, adhering to one side of the ovule, and becoming more or less incorporated with its coats, as the ovule enlarges into a seed.

 chalazogamy - definition by dict.die.net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
[Chalaza + -gamy, as in polygamy.] (Bot.) A process of fecundation in which the pollen tube penetrates to the embryosac through the tissue of the chalaza, instead of entering through the micropyle.
It was originally discovered by Treub in Casuarina, and has since been found to occur regularly in the families Betulace[ae] and Juglandace[ae].
Partial chalazogamy is found in Ulmus, the tube here penetrating the nucleus midway between the chalaza and micropyle.

 Chalaza Glossary Term
Two thick strands of transparent albumin in an egg that connects to membrane linings of each end of the egg shell and that helps to hold or support the yolk in the center of the thick inner, white layer.
When eggs are cracked open, the chalazae can remain in the egg for cooking and eating purposes.
However, there may be some recipes for finely textured foods such as custards, which suggest removing the chalaza from each egg in order to produce a very smooth textured result.

 The Magnificant Egg (pt 1)
The opposite end of the yolk is the "vegetable pole." The yolk is tied to the inside of the shell by chalaza (a part of the albumin) at each end of the yolk.
The chalaza can sometimes be seen as twisted white strands in freshly cracked egg.
That's in part because the chalaza are trying to keep the yolk positioned in a certain way within the egg.

In the wall of the haustorium, circular structures with variable diameter and distribution were found rather regularly.
