Abstract
An ultrastructural study of pollen-derived plants and normal microspore development indicates that chloroplasts and mitochondria are physically altered during microsporogenesis. These changes appear to debilitate the organelle so that only chloroplasts and mitochondria of the female parent are contributed to the offspring.Year: 1980 PMID: 17745539 DOI: 10.1126/science.208.4440.196
