Main events during microsporogenesis of most angiosperms. Pollen mother cells undergo meiosis to form a tetrad. Individual microspores are released by the action of the callase from tapetum. Then, uninucleate microspores undergo mitosis I to form pollen with a larger vegetative cell and a smaller generative cell [17,24].
