Analysis of endosperm development in plants from contaminated sites (vicinity of the Żelazny Most copper post-flotation reservoir in the Legnica-Głogów Copper District, and the zinc spoil in Katowice-Wełnowiec) showed general similarities in the pattern of endosperm formation in Echium vulgare, but also deviation from typical haustorium structure (~23% frequency), premature degeneration of the haustorium, or degeneration both of the haustorium and endosperm proper (~40%). The most significant irregularities of endosperm development included lower or higher number of nuclei in two cells of the lateral part of the endosperm, lower ploidy level of haustorium nuclei, and cellularization (instead of coenocytic structure) in the lateral cells of the endosperm. Irregularities and degenerative processes presumably resulted from the stress of environment conditions. Because of the nutritive function of those structures, degeneration or atypical structure of the endosperm and its haustorium in some maturing seeds may reduce the fertility of plants colonizing contaminated sites.
