Male Gametogenesis

Development and Structure of Sperm

  • Chapter
Current Trends in the Embryology of Angiosperms

Abstract

The full range of gene expression leading to male gamete formation in flowering plants begins with determination of the stamen whorl in flower development and ends with release of mature sperm into the embryo sac near the egg and central cell. In this review we focus on events within the anther from meiosis to anthesis and follow the development of sperm to their discharge into the embryo sac. Chapter 3 in this volume covers pollen tube growth. Here we review the principles of microsporogenesis gleaned from ultrastructural work several decades ago (Heslop-Harrison, 1968, 1971) and then describe recent advances and new approaches to male gametogenesis.
