Why are angiosperm anthers called dithecous? Describe the structure of its microsporangium. |
|
Answer» The anthers of angiosperms are called dithecous because they are bilobed and each lobe of anther has two theca. Microsporangium is surrounded by four wall layers named as epidermis, endothecium, middle layer and tapetum. In young anther, a group of compactly arranged homogenous cells called sporogenous tissue occupies the centre of each microsporangium which produce microspores or pollen grains. |
