Dividing barley microspore time-lapse microscopy

The induction of microspore cell division is an important step in androgenesis to produce doubled haploid plants. In Fytagoras’ research projects this process is followed closely. The movies shows a  phase contrast time-lapse recording of approximately 48 hours, showing an embryogenically induced star-like microspore with a central nucleus and cytoplasmic strands radiating toward the exine […]
