Main stages of pollen development and microspore embryogenesis of Hordeum vulgare. Micrographs of semithin sections stained by Toluidine blue showing the cellular organization. (A) Vacuolated microspore. (B,C) Gametophytic development. (B) Bicellular pollne. (C) Tricellular pollen. (D–F) Microspore embryogenesis. (D) Proembryo. (E) Transitional embryo. (F) Coleoptilar embryos, with different degrees of development, panoramic view of a Petri dish of a microspore embryogenesis culture after 30 days. Ex, exine; V, vacuole. Bars represent: (A–C): 10 μm, (D): 20 μm, (E): 100 μm, (F): 1 mm.
