Article Synopsis
- The male gametophyte development of Larix leptolepis is outlined through detailed squashing techniques, highlighting its long meiosis stage lasting over six months, particularly during winter's diffuse diplotene stage.
- The study notes that L. leptolepis offers a unique opportunity to investigate the less studied processes of desynapsing and unpairing, as the chromosomes exhibit significant structural changes during the diffuse diplotene stage.
- The research categorizes the diffuse diplotene stage into four distinct periods, observes both microsporogenesis types, and reveals that mature pollen grains consist of five actively dividing cells, challenging the notion of prothallial cells as senescent.
