Abstract
The microtubule cytoskeleton dynamics in male meiosis in sugar beet mutant lines was studied. It was established that mutation destroyed one of the stages of microtubule cytoskeleton transformation in telophase-1 and interphase leading to the damage of microtubules carcass,which keeps daughter nuclei at the cell poles. The nuclei migrate to the equatorial region, and at second meiotic division, a common spindle (fused) are formed. Thus the dyads of microspores (instead of the tetrads) are formed in cytoskeleton mutation (csm) in sugar beet.
