The document summarizes microsporogenesis, the development of the male gametophyte, and pollen morphology. It describes the structure of the anther and the development of microspores through meiosis within the microsporangia. The tapetum layer provides nutrients and enzymes that help separate microspores into pollen grains. Pollen grains contain a vegetative cell that divides to form two sperm cells or a generative cell that divides into two sperm, comprising the male germ unit that travels within the pollen tube. Pollen grains have an outer sculpted exine layer and inner intine layer. Their size, symmetry, and exine ornamentation vary between species.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

B. Sc. Botany, Semester III Paper Anatomy and Embryology
Paper:
Unit 3. Microsporogenesis, Male Gametophyte, Male Ferm Unit and Pollen Morphology
Structure of Anther:
Stamen or microsporophyll is the male reproductive structure of
angiosperms.
A typical stamen has three parts: Filament which is the elongated
stalk, Anther which is the bilobed structure at the tip of the filament,
and connective which joins the lobes o the anther.
of
Each lobe of the mature anther has two pollen sacs or
microsporangia. A complete anther has four microsporangia
– Tetra-sporangiate or dithecous In some plants, anther
dithecous.
has a single lobe with two microsporangia – Bisporangiate
or monothecous. (Eg. Hibiscus, Moringa Rarely, anther
Moringa.)
has only one lobe with a single microsporangia –
unisporangiate – Ex. Arceuthobium.
Development of anther and microsporogenesis:
Young anther has a mass of meristematic homogeneous cells covered by a single layered
meristematic,
epidermis. It becomes four lobed and each lobe forms a microsporangium with microspores or
pollen grains. Development of microsporangium and microspores (microsporogenesis) occurs as

four coorners of the young anther. These cells
are called Archesporial cells.
.
Archesporial cells divide by periclinal division to
form two layers of cells – outer primary parietal
layer (PPL) and inner primary sporogenous
d
layer (PSL).
Cells of the PPL divide by many anticlinal and periclinal divisions to form a multilayered (2

mainly in monocots) and Secretory type (Cells remain intact, secret nutrition into the
microsporangium).
Cells of the PSL divide by mitosis and form a mass of diploid sporogenous tissue which then
forms Microspore mother cells or Pollen mother cells (MMC or PMC). They are loosely
.
arranged when mature. PMC’s divide by meiosis to form haploid microspores or pollen grains
grains.
They are arranged as tetrads (group of four).
Tetrad formation is of two types:
o Successive type: Each nuclear division

arranged in iso-bilateral manner.
bilateral
o Simultaneous type: Nucleus of PMC
:
divides twice to form four haploid nuclei.
Cell wall forms simultaneously between
four nuclei resulting in tetrads.
Cells of the tetrad completely sep
separate from
each other and develop into mature pollen grains
or microspores with characteristic structures.
These microspores germinate and produce the male gametophyte.
Role of tapetum:
3. Tapetum plays an important role in the development of pollen grains. The different roles of
tapetum are:
It provides nourishment to the developing pollen grains.
It plays an important role in the formation of pollen wall.
Many specific proteins of the pollen wall are secreted by tapetum. These proteins are
responsible for pollen allergy.
The amoeboid type of tapetum produces callase enzyme necessary for dissolving callose
walls of the microspore tetrads and thus helps in their separation into individual pollen
grains.
Callase enzyme also plays an important role in making the pollen grains fertile or sterile.
It produces a oily coating over some pollen grains called pollen kits. It helps as an insect-
attractant during pollination, and protects pollens from UV radiations.
Structure and Development of Male gametophyte:
Male gametophyte (MG) is the haploid structure formed by pollen grains or microspore and it
produces the male gametes or antherozoides.
Microspores are the first cell of MG. Formation
of MG from pollen grains occurs as follows:
Preparation: The nucleus of the pollen grain
migrates from center to periphery and its
cytoplasm becomes highly polarized.
Formation of vegetative and generative
cells: The migrated pollen nucleus divides mitotically to form two unequal cells. The larger cell is
called vegetative cell and smaller, spindle shaped cell is the generative cell. Later, the generative
cell floats within the cytoplasm . This is 2-celled MG.
Formation of Male gametes: The generative cell divides by mitosis forming two male cells which
then give rise to two non-motile male gametes or antherozoides. This is 3-celled MG.
Pollen tube formation: Pollens are shed from the anther and deposited on the stigma
(pollination), at the 3-celled stage, as in Beta and Hordeum.On the stigma, pollen grains
germinate forming a narrow tube called pollen tube. The pollen tube grows down through the
style. The male gametes and the vegetative nucleus along with the cytoplasm is transferred to the
pollen tube and is carried at its growing tip. A plug of callose tissue prevents its back flow.
4. In some plants like Holopelia integrifolia, pollination occurs at 2-celled stage and formation
of male gametes occurs in the pollens when they are on the stigma. In some other plants, male
gametes are formed in the pollen tube, just before fertilization.
Finally, the pollen tube enters the ovule, bringing about fertilisation. The vegetative nucleus
degenerates along with the pollen tube after fertilization.ms.
Concept of the male Germ Unit (MGU):
MGU is a functional unit of the male gametophyte required for fertilization. It is made by a
combination of three structures – the vegetative nucleus and the two sperms. MGU is found in the
3-celled male gametophyte. The important features of MGU are:
The two sperms are linked together by a common cross wall or plasma membrane
invagination.
One Of the sperms is also connected to the vegetative nucleus by cytoplasmic extensions
or microtubules.
The organization of three cells in MGU is almost fixed and it determines which sperm will
fuse with the egg (producing the embryo) and which will fuse with the secondary nuclei
(producing the endosperm).
One sperm is smaller and rich in plastids. This is not connected to the vegetative nucleus.
This fuses with the egg, forming embryo.
The other sperm is larger and rich in mitochondria. It is connected with the vegetative
nucleus and fuses with the secondary nuclei, forming endosperm.
The MGU travels in the pollen tube as a single unit. After reaching the ovule, vegetative
nucleus separates from the sperms first. Then the two sperms separate from each other.
Pollen Morphology:
At maturity the pollen grains are either 2-celled (70%) 0r 3-celled (30%). 2-celled pollen grains
have a larger vegetative cell and a smaller generative cell. 3-celled pollen grains have vegetative
cell and 2 sperms arranged together as a male Germ Unit. The generative cell or the sperms lie
in the cytoplasm of the vegetative cell, surrounded by their own cell membranes and the
membrane of the vegetative cell.
The wall of the mature pollen has two layers – the outer thick exine and the inner thin intine.
The intine is made up of pectin and cellulose. The exine is hard and is resistant to physical and
biological degradation. It can be divided further into two layers- an outer sculptured sexine and an
5. inner non-sculptured nexine. The sexine is further made up of three layers – tectum (roof layer),
columellae (bar like elements) and foot layer.
The exine may be ape tured or non-apertured. The apertures may be elongate or circular.
The sculpturing or ornamentations of sexine is of various types – smooth (psilate), pitted
(foveolate), grooved (fossulate), spiny (e chinate), perforated (punctate), etc.
Size of pollen grains range from 5 microns to 200 microns. Pollens normally have radial
symmetry or bilateral symmetry.
