Pollen grains develop from the diploid microspore mother cells in pollen sacs of anther. Pollen grain is haploid, unicellular, uninucleate and oval shaped structure. Pollen grains are generally spherical measuring about 25-50 micrometers in diameter. Pollen grain is a double layered sporoderm – outer exine and inner intine. The inner intine is thin, delicate and is made of cellulose and pectose.
