How do the anthers of a plant produce pollen?

The microspores become pollen grains and may eventually separate.During pollen development, the layer of cells beneath the dermis of the anther wall (the endothecium) develops thickenings in the cell walls. read more

The anther is an oval-shaped structure that a flowering plant must have to reproduce. When the anther has produced enough pollen, the pollen moves into small sacs that pop open to spread the pollen around, making it able to create new plants. The flower produces pollen in a process known as meiosis. read more

The plants that do not rely on attracting pollinators tend to rely on the wind to spread their male genetic code around, and the wind is a very haphazard messenger. The plant is more likely to be successful - for a pollen grain to land on the proper part of the proper species of plant - if the producer makes LOTS of pollen. read more
