Rarely in angiosperms, the pollen tube develops further in embryo sac. The abnormality is called as Nemec phenomenon.
Nemec phenomenon possessing pollen sacs have also been reported by Stow. The microspore here increases in size to form a sac like structure. The nucleus undergoes three mitotic divisions to form 8 nuclei. Of these, 3 lie at the end where exine is still intact, 3 at the opposite end and 2 in the middle. Stow observed that when the pollen embryo sacs were placed on an agar medium, together with some normal pollen grains of another variety, the pollen tubes from the latter coiled surround the pollen embryo sacs.
