Locule
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Multiple image".
A locule (Template:Plural form: locules) or loculus (Template:Langnf; Template:Plural form: loculi) is a small cavity[1] or compartment within an organ or part of an organism (animal, plant, or fungus).
In angiosperms (flowering plants), the term locule usually refers to a chamber within an ovary (gynoecium or carpel) of the flower and fruits. Depending on the number of locules in the ovary, fruits can be classified as Template:Em (uni-locular), Template:Em, Template:Em, or Template:Em. The number of locules present in a gynoecium may be equal to or less than the number of carpels. The locules contain the ovules or seeds.
The term may also refer to chambers within anthers containing pollen.[2]
In ascomycetous fungi, locules are chambers within the hymenium in which the perithecia develop.[3]
