The aim of this work was to determine the sequences and their time schedule in fertilization, embryo and endosperm development in a barley strain grown under controlled conditions. This study involved controlled pollinations and serial sectioning of material embedded in glycol methacrylate. In Hordeum vulgare cv. Bomi the pollen tube reaches the nucellus in the course of 40 minutes after pollination (m.a.P.). In the next minutes the tube advances between the nucellar cells, through the filiform apparatus of the degenerating synergid and releases its contents, which is characterized by rod-shaped starch grains. One of the sperm nuclei is fused with the egg nucleus 45 m.a.P., the second is in contact with the two polar nuclei 50-60 m.a.P., but the real connection between one of the polar nuclei and the sperm nucleus does not occur before 10 hours after pollination (h.a.P.). Triple fusion between all three nuclei takes place about 13 h.a.P. The first division in the zygote takes place 22-24 h.a.P. The embryo has got 3 cells at 34 h.a.P., 4 cells at 38 h and 52 h.a.P. the embryo is composed of 7 cells. Protoderm formation takes place from a 14-celled embryo stage at 72-80 h.a.P. The primary endosperm nucleus divides 14 h.a.P. The next division takes place soon after the first; therefore the endosperm is 4-nucleated already 18. h.a.P. Further divisions are synchronized, and 30-38 h.a.P. there will be more than 32 nuclei. The synchronous divisions continue, and the cellularisation begins at about 70 h.a.P. There is a tight correlation between the enlargement of the ovule and the embryo sac in the first days of the embryo development.
