Microsporogenesis and microgametogenesis of the Argentinian species of Podocarpus (Podocarpaceae)

The development of the microsporangium and male gametophyte of three species of Podocarpus was studied with light microscopy (LM) and the morphology of pollen with scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM). During early stages, the male cone is covered with coriaceous scales. The a...
