| The sporogenous tissue, which is located at the center of each microsporangium, gives rise to microspores. Microspores are the precursor cells that develop into pollen grains. During the process of microsporogenesis, the cells of the sporogenous tissue undergo meiosis, a type of cell division that results in the formation of haploid microspores. These microspores are arranged in clusters called microspore tetrads. As the anthers mature and dehydrate, the microspores dissociate from each other and develop into individual pollen grains. Therefore, the sporogenous tissue plays a crucial role in the production of microspores, which ultimately give rise to pollen grains. |
