Abstract: Cytological morphology studies were made in the development of anther and microsporogenesis in A line and B line of Chinese cabbage-pak-choi. In A line, pollen abortion happened in pollen mother cell meiosis stage. The tetrads couldn't be formed in the anther of A line plant, and then the pollen mother cells spread from the center of the anther chamber. With the development of pollen mother cells, the content of the cells leaked, and in the end the pollen mother cells became empty.
