Seeing Cells Brings New Discovery of Plant Reproduction.

Gametophytes.jpg

​Male and female gametophyte, consisting of a few cells in flowering plant, play major roles in sexual reproduction.

​

These gametophytic cells possess unique cell structures reflecting their characteristic functions.

​

​We discover new reproduction phenomena through the analysis of these cell structures.
