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 uni-locular (unilocular), bi-locular, tri-locular or multi-locular. 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 Ascomycete fungi, locules are chambers within the hymenium in which the perithecia develop.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/loculus |title=Loculus |publisher=Oxford Dictionaries}} {{botany-stub}}2. ^{{cite book|author1=Hickey, M. |author2=King, C. |year=2001|title=The Cambridge Illustrated Glossary of Botanical Terms|publisher=Cambridge University Press}} 3. ^{{citation |url=http://palaeos.com/fungi/glossary/glossaryG.html#L |title=Palaeos: Life Through Deep Time |accessdate=4 May 2016}} 3 : Plant anatomy|Plant morphology|Fungal morphology and anatomy |
