[EN]: The embryo sac development in the olive (Olea europaea L.) is examined in greater detail than in previous studies, including the characterization of the following sequential stages: 1) archesporial cell; 2) megasporocyte; 3) dyad; 4) bispore; 5) polarized bispore; 6) fournucleate embryo sac; 7) immature eight-nucleate embryo sac; 8) mature eight-nucleate embryo sac. The polarization of the bispore is proposed as the onset of megagametogenesis. Thehypostase, a basal nucellar tissue previously not observed in olive, is described. The bisporic developmental pattern of the olive embryo sac was found to generally comform to the Allium type although occasional cases of Endymion type development were also observed. The timecourse of development indicates that the transition between development stages is much more rapid when only cell division is involved as compared to when embryo sac expansion and nuclear migration also occur.
[ES]: Se han caracterizado secuencialmente los estados de desarrollo del saco embrionario de olivo con mayor precisión que en estudios previos. Se han definido los siguientes estados: 1) célula arquesporial, 2) célula madre de la megáspora, 3) dfada, 4) bispora, 5) bispora polarizada, 6) saco tetranucleado, 7) saco octonucleado inmaduro, 8) saco embrionario octonucleado maduro. Se propone la polarización de la bispora como el comienzo de la megagametogénesis. Se ha evidenciado la presencia deja hipóstasis, cuerpo basal nucelar no descrito en anteriores estudios embriológicos sobre olivo. El desarrollo es del tipo Allium, aunque eventualmente se han observado sacos con desarrollo del tipo Endymion. La cronología del desarrollo ha puesto de manifiesto que la transición entre estados es mucho más breve cuando los cambios solo suponen división que cuando comportan además elongación y ensanchamiento del saco y migración de núcleos.
