Definition Synergid cells undergo degeneration and death in response to penetration by the pollen tube. It is an active process that involves a dramatic decrease in cell volume, collapse of the vacuoles, and complete disintegration of the plasma membrane and most organelles.[ PubMed:12215516 ]
Also Known As "synergid cell death" ; "synergid degeneration"
