Pollen tube can enter an ovule through chalaza, then it is called as chalazogamy, when the entry is via integuments then it is called as mesogamy and when the pollen tube enters the ovule via the micropyle then it is called as porogamy. Three cells are at the chalazal end and are called the antipodals. The landing platform for the pollen grains is the stigma.
