Topaz is a variety of canola exhibiting a high frequency of embryogenesis in isolated microspore cultures. |
|
Special emphasis is given to the initial stages of microspore embryogenic potential acquirement and the initiation of cell divisions. |
|
The polarity of the micro-gametophyte of flowering plants is related to the proximal-distal axis of the microspore from which it develops. |
|
The tapetal tissue has a secretory role providing essential nutrients required for microspore and pollen grain development. |
|
Using microspore culture, NRC-PBI developed a superior type of wheat called McKenzie wheat. |
|
Over the past ten years NRC's Dr. Alison Ferrie has perfected a breeding technique known as microspore embryogenesis. |
|
After a period of dormancy, each microspore germinates and grows into a prothallus that in turn produces ciliated, male gametes. |
|
Cyclic invasion of tapetal cells into loculi during microspore development in Nymphaea colorata. |
|
The male gametophyte phase of the life cycle begins in the microsporangium with meiotic production of tetrads of microspores followed by the division of each haploid microspore into a three-celled pollen grain. |
|
At the free microspore stage, a material with a similar electron density to sporopollenin fills the whole locule and deposits over the pollen grain wall. |
