Explore microsporogenesis in plants, detailing its stages, the role of the anther and microsporangium, and its significance in pollen grain formation and plant reproduction. Microsporogenesis is the formation of microspores by meiosis in the anther of a flower. Learn about the two types of microsporogenesis , the formation of pollen grains and the structure of microsporangia. Microsporogenesis Microsporogenesis Reproduction In Flowering Plants of Class 12 Microsporogenesis This is the process in which each microspore mother cell divides meiotically to form four haploid microspores or pollen grains. These remain arranged in tetrads. The arrangement of pollen grains in a tetrad is affected by cytokinesis during meiosis. Microsporogenesis is the process of formation of pollen grains (or microspores) inside the pollen sacs (or microsporangium) of flowering plants by meiotic or reduction division. Each microspore is the first cell of the male gametophyte that produces male gametes.
