The nucellus is a cellular tissue enveloping one large cell, the embryo-sac or macrospore. From Wordnik.com. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Part 1, Slice 1] Reference
Insemineae include forms in which the nucellus is not developed, and therefore there can be no seed. From Wordnik.com. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Part 1, Slice 1] Reference
In some cases the embryo or the embryo-sac sends out suckers into the nucellus and ovular integument. From Wordnik.com. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Part 1, Slice 1] Reference
(Liliaceae) polyembryony results from an adventitious production of embryos from the cells of the nucellus around the top of the embryo-sac. From Wordnik.com. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Part 1, Slice 1] Reference
The plants included are, however, mainly well-established parasites, and the absence of nucellus is only one of those characters of reduction to which parasites are liable. From Wordnik.com. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Part 1, Slice 1] Reference
The development of the ovule, which represents the macrosporangium, is very similar to the process in Gymnosperms; when mature it consists of one or two coats surrounding the central nucellus, except at the apex where an opening, the micropyle, is left.

Ovular characters determine the grouping in the Dicotyledons, van Tieghem supporting the view that the integument, the outer if there be two, is the lamina of a leaf of which the funicle is the petiole, whilst the nucellus is an outgrowth of this leaf, and the inner integument, if present, an indusium.
