In order to further elucidate the morphological process mechanism of anther dehiscence in rice,the difference of morphological characteristics of anthers and filaments between the wild type male sterile line V20A and its maintainer line V20B were detailed compared by using fluorescence microscopy,semi thin sectioning and scanning electron microscope. Results indicated that the normally open stomata distributed in intermicrosporangia 2 (IMS2) and the keratinized epidermal cells of anther guaranteed normally water loss,the “gas plug” in the rap...
