Abstract:he morphological anatomical characters of the anthers from nucleo-cytoplasmic interaction male sterile line 169A and genic male sterile line 88-3 were observed. The results showed that the epidermal cells of the anther had viability,while the male sex cell of the two sterile lines appeared 100% abortion at blooming date, however,their abortion form,duration and characters were different.The abortion of 169A occurred before to behind of the sporogonia,whose important characterization was that the sporogonia degenerated or transforme
d into the parenchyma cells. The abortion of 88-3 ocurred from the microspore mother cells to pollen grains of two_nucleus,while the high peak stage of abortion(80%) occurred before and after the tetrad phase. The main abortion forms of 88-3 were that the microspore mother cells were not able to enter meiosis process and to finish meiosis,and the microspores were not able to develop normally.The same abortion character of the two male sterile lines was that the microspore mother cells and microspores sharply and thoroughly disintegrated or aggregated when abortion occurred.
