Translocation of the generative cell towards the centre of the pollen grain due to changes in the vacuolar system in Ranunculus repens L.

Abstract


On the basis of observations performed under the light microscope on the development of the male gametophyte of Ranunculus repens L., the hypothesis is advanced that the translocation of the generative cell from a position adjacent to the wall towards the centre of the pollen grain, associated with change in the shape of this cell, is the result of vacuolization of the generative and vegetative cells and the interaction of these two vacuole systems.
