Abstract
Seeds of conifers contain a female megagametophyte (endosperm), which is usually haploid. Results of biochemical analysis indicate the existence of a nonembryonic tissue in the seeds of Cupressus sempervirens, which expresses at isozyme gene loci the phenotype of the seed tree and is diploid. This paper presents the genetic verification of the existence of this tissue and discusses its possible origin.
