Following meiosis of the microsporocyte, four microspores are formed, each of which undergoes two mitotic divisions to form a mature pollen grain containing the male gametes. The null rdp1-3 mutant produced fewer microsporocytes than the wild type (Fig. 2c–e), indicating a reduction in ...
This derivative chromosome could have been originated during meiosis, during the first mitotic divisions of the zygote or possibly were inherited from a healthy parent that carries the translocation in an equilibrated state. In latter case there is a risk of recurrence for the same or possibly the...
