英文摘要 |
This paper deals with stages from the terminal portion of the microspore tetrad period and loss of the callose envelope through to extensive expansion of sacci (= ca. vacuolate stage of pollen grain cytoplasm). The alveoli of both cap and sacci expand greatly, circumferentially, without any separation of radial components. It is the distal portion of alveoli which elongates. Thickening of alveoli in cap and sacci is accompanied by many glycocalyx elements on, around or within the ''walls'' of alveoli. Tapetal cells go through many cycles with respect to dilation of rER, few or many vesicles and production of Ubisch bodies. They undergo mitosis at the beginning of vacuolation of microspores. Tapetal cells extend into locules surrounding many microspores during a stage of great vacuolation of microspore cytoplasm, expansion of sacci, and thickness increase of the exine. |
