Anther development inXylopia nigricans

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

In the anther primordium ofXylopia nigricans, the archesporium differentiates discontinuously with intervening sterile tissue. Each archesporial cell divides periclinally and develops into a micro-sporangium with a single microspore mother cell. Thus the anther becomes multisporangiate. The tapetal cells are uninucleate. Cytokinesis of the microspore mother cell is by successive cell plate formation. The pollen development is traced and the significance of the development is discussed.
