Male Meiosis Peculiarities of Four Oat (Avena sativa L.) Varieties Cultivated in Central Yakutia
Extreme environmental factors decrease seed setting and form unseeded or thinning panicles. Since meiosis underlies formation of gametes, it largely determines further processes associated with pollination, fertilization and development of a full-fledged seed. In this regard, studies meant to identify the peculiarities of male meiosis for plants cultivated in the severe natural and climatic conditions of Central Yakutia are relevant and of particular interest.
