The development of the male gametophyte of Taxus baccata has been studied over a period of 20 weeks, from germination of the microspore in February to spermatogenesis in July. A few days after germination the microspore nucleus divides and a transverse wall forms at the equator cutting off the small generative cell and a large tube cell. The latter immediately begins to expand to form the pollen tube. The first division thus establishes the polarity of the gametophyte and the generative cell is regarded as proximal. The transverse wall is ephemeral, and within six weeks it has disappeared. The nucleus of the generative cell divides while still at the proximal pole. The two daughter nuclei are unequal in size, but they remain associated and together move distally. The larger nucleus eventually becomes the nucleus of the spermatogenous cell, and the smaller the sterile nucleus. The spermatogenous cell acquires a distinctive cytoplasm and becomes surrounded by a wall which arises de novo . The nucleus of the spermatogenous cell enlarges, but always remains towards one side of the cell so that at mitosis the spindle is contained within one hemisphere. After division the wall of the spermatogenous cell is ruptured and the two sperms are released as naked nuclei of equal size. The cytoplasm of the spermatogenous cell degenerates as it enters the tube, but remains recognizable until fertilization.
