The development of Peiai 64S and IR36 did not differ up to microsporocyte formation stage; but since meiosis stage, male reproductive cells of Peiai 64S underwent several structural changes and ultimately terminated by early bicellular stage. These abnormal changes mainly occurred at two stages: (1) at meiotic prophase, almost half of Peiai 64S microsporocytes exhibited aberration, with sparse free ribosomes, underdeveloped mitochondria and many swollen endoplasmic reticula. These abnormal cells became dramatically vacuolated and hereafter disintegrated completely at later stage. (2) After the early uninucleate stage, nearly all of Peiai 64S microspores possessed malfunctional exine that was deviod of electron transparent region between sexine and nexine, and no intine was established. But, the development and disintegration of tapetum in Peiai 64S resembled those of IR36. The results proposed that the abnormalities of microsporocytic cytoplasm or pollen exine, rather than the tapetal development caused the pollen abortion of Peiai 64S.展开更多
