Both diplospory and apospory are forms of apomixy where a seed is formed without fertilisation. In diplospory the egg apparatus is formed from a nucellus cell other than the mother cell by mitotic division. The egg forms the zygote without fertilisation. In apospory the egg apparatus is formed from a cell other than the nucellus cells.
