The changes observed in tissues of the anther have been referred to the increasing sizes of the buds and the anthers. The enclosed table present the synchronization of several stages of development of such anther tissues as wall layers, tapetum and pollen mother cells.

Seedlings at different stages of development were treated with colchicine. Successive selections on the aspect of the seedlings soon after treatment, on size of the guard cells at the time of repotting, and finally, after overwintering, on counts of the chromosomes in the pollen mother cells yielded a few hundred plants with tetraploid crowns. These plants bore fewer, broader leaves and fewer, bigger inflorescences with larger achenes than did selected large-celled diploids given the same treatment, but in general the plants were no bigger. A few of the tetraploids were self-fertile (if not apomictic) early in the spring, but later all tested plants proved self-sterile.

Abstract In Arabidopsis, chromosomal double-strand breaks at meiosis are presumably catalyzed by two distinct SPO11 transesterases, AtSPO11-1 and AtSPO11-2, together with M-TOPVIB. To clarify the roles of the SPO11 paralogs in rice, we used CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis to produce null biallelic mutants in OsSPO11-1, OsSPO11-2, and OsSPO11-4. Similar to Osspo11-1, biallelic mutations in the first exon of OsSPO11-2 led to complete panicle sterility. Conversely, all Osspo11-4 biallelic mutants were fertile. To generate segregating Osspo11-2 mutant lines, we developed a strategy based on dual intron targeting. Similar to Osspo11-1, the pollen mother cells of Osspo11-2 progeny plants showed an absence of bivalent formation at metaphase I, aberrant segregation of homologous chromosomes, and formation of non-viable tetrads. In contrast, the chromosome behavior in Osspo11-4 male meiocytes was indistinguishable from that in the wild type. While similar numbers of OsDMC1 foci were revealed by immunostaining in wild-type and Osspo11-4 prophase pollen mother cells (114 and 101, respectively), a surprisingly high number (85) of foci was observed in the sterile Osspo11-2 mutant, indicative of a divergent function between OsSPO11-1 and OsSPO11-2. This study demonstrates that whereas OsSPO11-1 and OsSPO11-2 are the likely orthologs of AtSPO11-1 and AtSPO11-2, OsSPO11-4 has no major role in wild-type rice meiosis.

Idiosyncratic chromosome behaviour during meiosis was found in pollen mother cells of Cuscuta babylonica Choisy, a thread-like holoparasitic herb. Its main features are among the following: (i) telomeric association between homologues through most stages of the process, which leads to persisting chromatid bivalents (= "demibivalents"); (ii) uncommon chromosome segregation in first and second anaphase; and (iii) prolonged intensified heterochromatinization. Although "regular" in its own way, this process leads to the formation of unviable products. Its further investigation might contribute to our understanding of the role of the spindle and chromosome movement in the ordinary process of meiosis. Key words: meiosis (abnormal), persisting demibivalents, Cuscuta babylonica.

In two diploid specimens of Haworthia subfasciata (2n = 14) several kinds of chromatid and subchromatid aberrations occurred. In some pollen mother cells E-type and U-type bridges were present. In other cells bridges and fragments were formed due to asymmetrical reunion of nonsister chromatids following breakage. A translocation involving the satellites of two L pair chromosomes was observed in one plant.
