Disturbances in microsporogenesis and pollen grain development in Gagea lutea (L.) Ker. Gaw.
The meiotic division of microsporocytes and pollen grain development in Gagea lutea (L.) Ker.-Gaw. (Liliaceae) with fluorescence microscope (excitation light 400 nm) was observed after squashing the anthers in DAPI solution (fluorochrom dying DNA). Up to
