Abstract: Two types of male sterile flowers,pollen degenerated and stamen shrinked were found by observing the morphology in radish.Cytological observation was made,which indicated that microspore degenerat ion was a successive process.The abnormality appeared in sporogenic stage and later followed vacuoles and enlarged taptum.The single-nuclear microspores did not develop further and at last disappeared.Furthermore,sterile pollen grains were found in fertile anthers.

Key words: Radish, Male sterility, Microsporogenesis
