A positive significant correlation between meiocytes showing cytomixis and chromosome stickiness also existed, although in P-2 and P-3 PMCs with sticky chromatin were not observed.

In particular, the fact that the meiocyte is the inducible stage implies that through this route, androgenic haploids or DHs are not the only final product.

However, in both species, particularly the former, early degeneration of the female meiocyte appears to be correlated with a restriction of callose deposits to the wall of the MMC closest to the micropyle.

For the analyses of the meiocytes and the tapetal cells, the inflorescences were collected in early stages of development between 8h30min and 10h, fixed in Carnoy (ethylic alcohol: acetic acid, 3:1) and kept at -4[degrees]C until the moment of use.
