The article is dedicated to cytoembryology investigation of two cereals species: HierochO glabra (two populations from Kamchatka) and H. repens (one population from Lower Volga region). The plants of these populations are characterized by high frequency of ovules with few (2-4) megagametophytes (5,7; 8,6 и 25%, respectively). This point to the apoarhespory - development of unreduced embryo sacs from somatic nucellus cells.
