Rapid Swelling of Pollen Grains in Response to Floret Opening Unfolds Anther Locules in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
The changes in pollen grain diameter were examined in relation to the floret opening and anther dehiscence in rice (Oryza sativa L.). In the first experiment, the florets were artificially opened by excising the top of the glumes at various times before the expected natural flowering time. Pollen di...
