    Microsporogenesis

    • The tapetum in an anther provides nourishment to the developing microspores
    • The process of formation of microspores from a pollen mother cell (PMC) is called microsporogenesis
    • During microsporogenesis, a pollen mother cell (PMC) undergoes meiosis to form a tetrad of four microspores
    • The cells of the tetrad formed during microsporogenesis are haploid (1n)
