With the help of a labelled diagram describe the structure of mature anther in cross section
-
Anther:
-
A typical anther is bilobed and each lobe is dithecous (consists of two theca).
-
Theca are separated by a longitudinal groove running lengthwise.
-
The microsporangia are located at the corners, two in each theca. They further develop to form pollen sacs, which contain the pollen grains.
