Study Notes

Microsporangium is surrounded by four layers: Epidermis, Endothecium, Middle layer (provides protection with thickenings), and Tapetum (provides nourishment to developing pollen grains).
Development of pollen grain (male gametophyte) involves differentiation of Hypodermal Cell of Anther, Archesporial Cell, Epidermis, Microspore mother cells, Tapetum, and Parietal Cells (nourishes pollen grain).
The process includes Periclinal division, Anticlinal division, Meiosis of Microspore Mother Cells (MMCs) or Pollen Mother Cells (PMCs), formation of Microspore tetrad, dehydration, separation of pollen grains, and mitotic division in generative cell.
Mature pollen grain consists of Generative cell (small), Vegetative cell (bigger with abundant food material), Nucleus of tube cells, and Sperm cells.
Microsporogenesis involves stages of maturation of microspore into pollen grain, including the development of Sperm cells and Tube cell nucleus.
