A framework for evaluating developmental defects at the cellular level: An example from ten maize anther mutants using morphological and molecular data.

Abstract excerpt

In seed plants, anthers are critical for sexual reproduction, because they foster both meiosis and subsequent pollen development of male germinal cells. Male-sterile mutants are analyzed to define steps in anther development. Historically the major topics in these studies are meiotic arrest and post-meiotic gametophyte failure, while relatively few studies focus on pre-meiotic defects of anther somatic cells....
