Abstract

The formation of male and female generative buds in the Sukachev larch in the conditions of Voronezh in the second decade of August is considered. The behavior of chromosomes in the meta-, ana -, and telophase of the first and second divisions of meiosis is analyzed. In each phase, 150–200 microsporocytes were taken into account. According to the results of the conducted studies, it was revealed that the microsporogenesis of larch proceeded asynchronously. A significant proportion of the disorders are caused by chromosome lag and the formation of bridges, the formation of a hexad, and the release of chromosomes outside the division spindle. The viability of Sukachev larch pollen is estimated to be high. A small number of disturbances in the process of meiotic divisions and the formation of gametophytes did not lead to the formation of a significant amount of sterile pollen. The average pollen size varies between 82.18–86.4 microns. Pollen has a spherical shape
