Abstract
Microsporocytes of Stangeria and Nymphaea acquire a polarizedappearance for a short part of prophase I, when the areas on the opposite sides of the nucleus differ in their organelle contents. By the end of prophase I in microsporocytes of Nymphaea plastids and mitochondria form a group which after telophase I stretches into the equatorial plane, and after telophase II separates a tetrad into four regions. During microsporogenesis in Malva organelles form a dense coat around the late prophase I nucleus and later around each nucleus in dyads and tetrads.
