Data from the studies of mechanisms underlying the development of the sporoderm (envelopes of spores and pollen grains) are analyzed in the aspect of colloidal interactions (the micellar hypothesis that implies the contribution of self-assembly processes to the development) and supplemented by results of experimental in vitro modeling of sporoderm-like structures where the driving force were physical-chemical regularities of colloidal systems. The relative contributions of the genome and self-assembly to the emergence of complex biological envelopes are considered.
