In the anther, after a microspore undergoes microsporogenesis, it can deviate towards embryogenesis and become star-like microspores. The microspore can then go one of four ways: Become an embryogenic microspore, undergo callogenesis to organogenesis (haploid/double haploid plant), become a pollen-like structure or die.
Sporogenesis is the production of spores in biology.The term is also used to refer to the process of reproduction via spores. Reproductive spores were found to be formed in eukaryotic organisms, such as plants, algae and fungi, during their normal reproductive life cycle.
Encephalartos villosus microsporophylls with microsporangia. A microsporangium (pl. microsporangia) is a sporangium that produces microspores that give rise to male gametophytes when they germinate.
Microgametogenesis is the process in plant reproduction where a microgametophyte develops in a pollen grain to the three-celled stage of its development. In flowering plants it occurs with a microspore mother cell inside the anther of the plant.
Pollen itself is not the male gamete. [4] It is a gametophyte, something that could be considered an entire organism, which then produces the male gamete.Each pollen grain contains vegetative (non-reproductive) cells (only a single cell in most flowering plants but several in other seed plants) and a generative (reproductive) cell.
A female pinecone produces the megaspores of this heterosporic plant.A male pinecone produces the microspores of this heterosporic plant.Heterospory is the production of spores of two different sizes and sexes by the sporophytes of land plants.
However, cytomixis is most frequently detectable in microsporogenesis. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Сytomixis can be involved in the evolutionary processes due to production of unreduced gametes or gametes with varying chromosome numbers.
ABC model of flower development guided by three groups of homeotic genes.. The ABC model of flower development is a scientific model of the process by which flowering plants produce a pattern of gene expression in meristems that leads to the appearance of an organ oriented towards sexual reproduction, a flower.
