anther

anthers ovoid-sagittate, ca. 1 mm, slightly furcate at base.

anthers luniform with lateral-longitudinal dehiscence, connective ± exserted.

anthers erect, dithecal, extrorse, dehiscing longitudinally.

Anthers attached at corona lobelet sinus, ovoid, ca. 2 mm.

anthers free, bilocular, thecae 2, extrorse, longitudinally dehiscent;

anthers 1-loculed, base spurless, apex pointed.

Homogenous lines can be obtained in a very short time by haploidy breeding method such as microspore culture and anther culture.

anthers introrse, 2-loculed, usually dorsifixed at base, less often medifixed, dehiscence longitudinal.

It indicated that the frequency of formation of the true pollen-derived plantletsw ere significantly low in the anther culture of B. napes.

The flower is bisexual, hypogynous, and with protandrous, tubular androecium whose anther are fused in a broad ring.

Tapetum (pl. tapeta) A food-rich layer surrounding the spore mother cells in the anthers of vascular plants.

Some large vacuoles appeared in the tapetal cells of the sterile anthers at the early uninucleate pollen stage.

Anthers sessile, circular, 2-loculed, introrse, connate into a synandrium, dehiscence longitudinal.

Anthers 6, opposite perianth segments, attached at lobe sinus, lobelet sinus, or lobe apex of corona, dorsifixed, introrse.
