| At the stage of anther dehiscence, there was one-layer anther wall of endothecium and the tapetal layer was digested completely to nourish the pollen grains. |
| Tapetal cells have a very short life span and for the most part are fully functional while being enucleate. |
| Herich and Lux observed in Lilium henryi that the orbicules get connected with the tapetal plasmalemma and then become lytically active. |
| Cyclic invasion of tapetal cells into loculi during microspore development in Nymphaea colorata. |
| The secondary parietal layer divides anticlinally to form the tapetal and middle cell layers. |
| The tapetal tissue has a secretory role providing essential nutrients required for microspore and pollen grain development. |
