In some species, this cell is part of a specialized, branched structure called an "auxiliary cell ampulla".
The fertilized egg (carpogonium) produces a connecting filament that fuses with the auxiliary cell, transferring the diploid nucleus. The auxiliary cell then initiates the growth of the carposporophyte, a structure that produces spores. auxiliary cell
It is a specialized cell on the female gametophyte that receives the diploid nucleus produced after fertilization. In some species, this cell is part of
Auxiliary cells are specialized intra-gonad cells found in the female acini (gonadal follicles) of certain marine organisms. In some species
