microspore mother cell
microspore mother cell (microsporocyte) A diploid cell in plants that divides by meiosis to give rise to four haploid microspores (see sporophyll). In flowering plants microspore mother cells are formed within the pollen sacs of the anthers by mitosis; the microspores they produce develop into pollen grains.
