Cell development in the anther, the ovule, and the young seed of Triticum aestivum L. var. Chinese Spring

TL;DR: The developmental behaviour of reproductive cells was studied during premeiotic mitotic activity, meiosis in anthers and ovaries, microsporogenesis, megasporogenesis and embryo and endosperm growth in Triticum aestivum L var.
Journal ArticleDOI

The time and duration of female meiosis in wheat, rye and barley

TL;DR: Comparisons between the stages of male and female development within individual florets in Triticum aestivum, Hordeum vulgare and Secale cereale allowed the estimation of the time and duration of female meiosis fairly accurately, and nuclear DNA content and ploidy level are known to play an important role in controlling the duration of male meiosis.
