Figure 1. Formation of wheat anther cell layers. The anther
primordium only contains L1, L2 and L3 layers. Some cells from L2 become
archesporial (AR) cells < 150 µm, which differentiate into
epidermis (EN), secondary parietal layer (SPL) and pollen mother cells
(PMC) > 150 µm anthers. Then SPL divides to form middle
layer (ML) and tapetum (TA) almost at 400 µm. Subsequently, PMC form the
MP at 700 µm, which differentiate to pollen grain (PG) almost at 1300
µm.
