What's the difference between embryo and suspensor?
Embryo
Definition:
(n.) The first rudiments of an organism, whether animal or plant
(n.) The young of an animal in the womb, or more specifically, before its parts are developed and it becomes a fetus (see Fetus).
(n.) The germ of the plant, which is inclosed in the seed and which is developed by germination.
(a.) Pertaining to an embryo; rudimentary; undeveloped; as, an embryo bud.

(13) Results obtained from cumulative labeling and pulse-labeling and chase experiments with cells from late gastrulae, yolk plug-stage embryos, and neurulae showed that the 30S RNA is an intermediate in rRNA processing and is derived from 40S pre-rRNA and processed to 28S rRNA.

(17) By 3 d in the chick embryo, the first neurons detected by antibodies to Ng-CAM are located in the ventral neural tube; these precursors of motor neurons emit well-stained fibers to the periphery.
(18) None of the factors tested was found to have a statistically significant effect on embryo yield.
(19) The embryo stages were assessed visually and some were investigated histologically.
(20) Ninety semen specimens were analysed for use in an IVF-embryo transfer (ET) programme.
Suspensor
Definition:
(n.) A suspensory.
(n.) The cord which suspends the embryo; and which is attached to the radicle in the young state; the proembryo.
Example Sentences:
(1) Protein content was examined in embryos and suspensors.
(2) acid-, alkaline-, adenosine triphosphatase, peroxidase, succinate dehydrogenase, cyotchrome oxidase) and general substances (ascorbic acid, polysaccharides, lipids) were localized in the suspensor during different phases of embryo growth.
(3) Hyphae are enclosed and digested by embryonic cytoplasm after M. osmundicola penetrates the embryo through suspensor cells, and then meristem cells begin to divide.
(4) The hypothesis of a retractable suspensor system is advanced to explain why in normal fixation conditions the odontoblast processes associated with nerve fibrils have not been observed in the outer layers of dentine.
(5) The levels were moderately decreased when the embryo was cultured detached from or without the suspensor.
(6) The role of the suspensor in the early development of the dicot embryo has not yet been defined.
(7) After 12 months, the suspensor was abandoned and the aforementioned investigations were performed again.
(8) The development of suspensor in Brassica campestris is of the "Onagrad type"; The suspensor growth was maximum between the globular and heart stage of embryo development.
(9) The possibility of suspensor having secretory function is also brought out.
(10) Electron microscopy of thin sections revealed the chlamydospore wall to be double layered, the outer thin layer being continuous with the wall of the suspensor cell.
(11) Immunofluorescent staining of protein bodies in cotyledon cells, histochemical staining reactions of the sections, as well as gel electrophoretic analysis of the proteins, isoelectric focusing and Western blotting confirmed the specificity and reliability of the immunochemical staining of the suspensor cells.
