Successful double fertilization relies on two independent gamete cell fusions.
In this regard, it is interesting to note a recently described set of mutants that impair female gametophyte development: LACHESIS, CHLOTO/GAMETOPHYTIC FACTOR1 and ATROPOS are essential for female gamete cell fate and all three genes encode spliceosomal components [ 28, 29].
GAMETE CELL = a haploid reproductive cell, such as an egg or sperm.

The process involves the fusion of gametic nuclei rather than independent gamete cells.
2009 Japanese scientists create primordial gamete cells in a petri dish, once injected into the ovaries and sperm of mice they find that the cells develop to maturity.
The transmission of genes from parent to offspring is carried out in a special process of cellular division called meiosis, which produces gamete cells containing one chromosome from each paired set.
Homologous recombination also produces new combinations of DNA sequences during meiosis, the process by which eukaryotes make gamete cells, like sperm and egg cells in animals.
In addition to repairing DNA, homologous recombination also helps produce genetic diversity when cells divide in meiosis to become specialized gamete cells—sperm or egg cells in animals, pollen or ovules in plants, and spores in fungi.
Globally, the world's scientists agree that while "germline" gene editing ― alterations in gamete cells or embryos that will be passed down to future generations ― may one day be a part of our society, it would be irresponsible to use it in human beings until techniques have been deemed safe and effective, and until there is a "broad societal consensus" about how it should be used.
For example, are epithelial cells capable of identifying key characteristics of gamete cells?
Of note, the rice methylome data were derived from panicles and leaves but not gamete cells.
