Figure 9

SEM observations under normal (NS) and late-sown (LS) environment on reproductive components in lentil genotypes. Pollen morphology in (a,b) NS and (c,d) LS plants. Anther morphology in (e,f) NS and (g,h) LS plants. Note damage to (d) pollen morphology and (h) anther morphology in LS heat-sensitive genotypes. Fluorescent microscopic studies showing the effects of heat stress on pollen load, pollen tube growth (marked as arrows) in the stylar region and ovular region in (i,j) NS and (k,l) LS plants. Note the (l) lack of pollen tube growth in the stylar region of LS heat sensitive genotypes compared with (k) heat-tolerant genotypes.
