[The role of microtubular cytoskeleton and callose walls in the cytomixis process in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) pollen mother cells].

We have studied the microtubule cytoskeleton structure and callose walls deposition in the course of meiosis at the cytomictic and normal tobacco (N. tabacum L.) PMCs. It was ascertained that microtubule cytoskeleton did not play an evident part in the process of cytomixis. Increased cytomixis frequency probably is determined by irregular callose walls deposition. The possible reasons of nuclear material passage between tobacco PMCs at the cellular level are discussed.
